Ku'au Ko was a perfect find! We loved the location so close to beaches, Paia and the start of the road to Hana. I highly recommend Kelly and this two bedroom condo. It was as advertised and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. She was so helpful and made everything easy. Couldn't have asked for a better host. The cottage itself was lovely and roomy enough for two couples. The porch was fabulous for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Check out Paia House Coffee and Bar. That was an added bonus with live music. We had a great time and I would definitely look to stay here while you are on Maui.

The house was great ! Everything is there for an enjoyable vacation. A big plus for me is they have a washer and dryer for your personal use. A lot of places you have to share. So that was great. You do have to walk to the beach or drive. That was fine for us because we like to explore different beaches. I recommend this property ! So cute and it’s new!

Booked this spot for my family that was coming in for my wedding. It was perfect. 4 adults and one baby and they were all very comfortable the whole time. Kelly was a fabulous host. Even brought them fresh flowers from the farmers market. Will definitely be recommending or booking again for visiting friends or family. Mahalo!!!

Where do I even start with this amazing cottage!Cottage is tucked away providing the perfect balance of Island life. Peaceful place to retreat for rest and relaxation. It was quiet, clean, and topped with fresh flowers waiting for us. Fridge was also stocked with some goodies as well. Location is perfect, only a couple minute walk to amazing local beaches filled with turtles. Not to mention a 2 minute drive to Paia Town to enjoy all the great shops and food. Kelly’s communication only adds icing on the cake. From the very beginning she was very warm, welcoming and responsive. Without a doubt we’ll be returning to this perfect spot in paradise!Aloha, Robert

Fantastic Beach Cottage

We had such an amazing stay at Kelly & Shawn’s beach cottage. So close to town and the beach. The home had everything we needed. They provide all of the beach gear you need. We love Paia so much and can’t wait to return and stay here again.

Great location for travelers who want to be near Paia. Very comfortable property.

We used this as home base while we explored the North side of Maui . Paia is a gem of a city and we love the many restaurants so near by . Might consider new bedding , but otherwise everything was great

Great stay on north shore Maui!

We loved our stay at Kuau ko - it was the perfect spot to come back to after adventures around Maui. Shawn and Kelly couldn't have been more hospitable and friendly. The house is really clean and well designed to accommodate us for our week there. Loved cooking in the great kitchen. Loved it!

Thank you Kelly and Shawn - your house was the best and you both, hands down, are the most welcoming holiday rental hosts we have ever met. If you are looking for a modern, well equipped house in a calm and relaxed part of Maui then Kuau Ko is the place. As a family of 4 - with 2 teenaged boys - the house had plenty of space, was close to great restaurants and perfectly located for easy access to everything that made for a very memorable holiday in Hawaii.

Charming!

The cottage was perfect. Airy and light. Clean. Well stocked with everything you might need for the beach. The location was a perfect jumping off point for Hana, the crater, and all the great beaches near Pa'ia. We loved being in a neighborhood as opposed to a row of condos. The property manager was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Super host and great location

The house was clean and well organized, stocked with things we needed. She even had a first aide kit that I’ve never seen in any other airbnb I’ve been to. I actually had to use it so it saved us a trip to the pharmacy. This location was quite convenient, too. Kelly was very accommodating and responsive. She’s also pleasant to talk to. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property, Very noisy location

This is a very candid review substantiated with photographs. We had hopes for a relaxing, peaceful location. Pros: Proximity to Paia, beaches. Beautiful structure! Cons: Very noisy! Gravel driveways for multiple properties immediately abut the front and rear of rental. Vehicles in and out during night. Small dog at neighbors directly adjacent to property yapped the entire stay. Renter in front unit chirped car alarm nightly when returning (once at 3:00 am). The smaller rental in front is very close. Their lights shine directly into this unit. There are no window coverings on this unit in the sitting/kitchen area, so there is no privacy due to the front rental unit looking directly in. The front unit does have a pull down shade covering on the exterior windows. Smoke detector/alarm was taped up with black duct tape in bedroom. (?) On the last day when I retrieved an item dropped behind the bed, discovered someone's eye blinders, a used foam earplug, nasty dust/hair on the floor under the mattress which was on a wood slat frame. *** Photo's were taken of smoke detector concern, items/dirt under bed, lights from adjacent residence shining into unit.

Gina, we are sorry you had issues during your stay. We wish you would have brought them to our attention we most certainly have dealt promptly with the items within our control. The dog no longer yaps, he has a bark collar. We will communicate our concerns to the neighbors if Tama barks again. Yours is our first complaint about tenants in the smaller unit. We are extremely selective in who we allow on our property to assure our guests have the best experience possible. Sorry that happened. We ordered blinds for the entry side of Ku'au Ko. I will speak to the cleaners. We have only had 5 star cleaning reviews in the past so must have been a rare oversight. Would have appreciated knowing these things when they occurred. We would have rectified them and offered you a gift card. The tape on the smoke detector was to cover the light which was bothering guests. The smoke detector is fully operational. I would have rated your communication 2 stars and overall 3 stars had I known you would fail to communicate your concerns during our stay and then write a harsh review. Please email me the photos, I don't see them here. I'd like to pass them on the the head cleaner. Mahalo

Adorable cottage in great location!

This cottage is perfectly located -- tucked back from the road, but only 4 block walk to the beach and a 1-mile walk into town. Plenty of beach provisions are provided, and the bedroom layout is perfect for some privacy.

Misleading photos regarding location

We paid a premium to stay here based on the awesome photos. The house in general is nice but needs an interior paint job, the two bedrooms are small and do not have closets, the small armoire’s are too small for two adults. The photos of the house leads you to believe it is a quaint location with lots of privacy, this is not the case. It is on a very busy highway and the house is just one amongst a cluster of houses, all of which are very close together. Walk out your front door and there is another house 20 feet in front of you, the tiny back yard is where the shared laundry is, the plants in the backyard are a mess, with dead foliage and garbage littered around. The house to your right is being renovated, behind you is a new construction happening but only in the evenings. Paia town is very busy and has lots of homeless people on the street and in their ‘tent city’, derelict and abandoned vehicles are all over the island, lots have been burned out and they just leave them there on the shoulder of the road. Many locals are not friendly to tourist.

Quaint Getaway Spot

Nice, quiet and quaint spot, out of the touristy areas. Convenient location to many things and nearby towns. Window coverings in the common areas would help keep the place cooler during the day when visitors are away and the house is closed up. The bedroom AC units had a hard time keeping up, but according to the news, the island had record highs during our stay. Appreciated the pitcher of cold filtered water in the fridge!

Loved this place!!!

We had such a great experience staying here! We traveled with our young children and there were plenty of beach gear and sand toys and kids fins. The owner was so pleasant to communicate with. Everything was clean and tidy. All the essentials were there including shampoo, conditioner, towels, paper towels, utensils, pots, pans, and even condiments of all sorts to use with our cooking. We especially loved the floor plan with the two bedrooms on either side of the house. It felt very private. And the huge porch was so nice to just sit on it there was an early morning drizzle and have a cup of coffee. We loved the easy access off Hana Hwy. We could easily get to all locations, and shops. We will certainly be back in the future!
