Cozy and comfortable
We enjoyed our stay at Pookela. The house is very well equipped and everything functioned well. Mark was available and friendly. The only downside is that the house lacks a table to eat at.
A lovely place and a lovely stay!
This was our second (and certainly not last) visit to Maui.
Mark's house was very convenient to pretty much everything we wanted to do and see.
The deck is large and covered, so even when it was raining, we had a comfortable place to sit and enjoy the weather. One thing; there are many spiderwebs along the side of the deck along the roof. Do NOT destroy them. They are Orb Weaver spiders and are completely harmless to people. What they do, however, is keep the place free of mosquitos. So please, leave them be.
The place was quiet and comfortable. The internet goes out from time to time, but you have to remember that Maui is an island in the pacific, nothing is going to be perfect (except the weather ;-) )
If you have the chance, by all means, make staying at Pookela Paradise a priority!
upcountry hideaway
Comfy three bedroom, two bath upper apartment with ocean view. One bath is "ensuite" other is in the hallway between bedrooms. Third bedroom is more of an office, but has a daybed which looks comfortable enough for sleeping. Office also has a Mac desktop for guest use if you wanted to leave your laptop at home. You can walk to Makawao and it's a short drive to Paia. Paia has a fine natural food store (as big as many in cities on the mainland) with very reasonable prices (even for Hawaii). There is also a Foodland a couple of miles away. Most everything you would need to make this home is provided. The owners kitty came to greet us every morning. She is a very friendly kitty who made me miss my cats less. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Maui.
Has great potential but is badly in need of updating.
The location works very well to explore Up Country. Makawao is a very interesting place as far as a base of travel operations. However, the house could really use some updating both inside and outside to improve aesthetics and functionality. Owner is a very nice fellow but the gas grill was not functional and I repaired the handle on the oven door myself so we could use the oven. Would not rent the location again until some updating has been completed.
Close to Natural Attractions
This location was perfect for getting to the road to Hana and sunrise at Haleakala quickly. It was less crowded than the other side of the island, and we didn't have to compete much with lots of other tourists. Even though it isn't right on the beach, it is close enough that it was easy to just drive right out to numerous different parts of the island.
Upcountry Foodies
Excellent location for upcountry farm tours, drives to Haleakala, and meals at some quality restaurants. If Makawao is not on your list of restaurants try them out! Less crowded, more affordable and fabulous. No cookie cutter Maui in upcountry. Branch out - you will be glad you did. Our lodgings were newly remodeled and very comfortable. Mark was attentive and even let us check in early. There is a visiting kitty who makes herself at home if you welcome her. Very nice amenities and a 20 minute drive from the airport.
Map
So close to all the North Shore beaches, attractions, and restaurants! And, perfectly situation between the Hana Highway and Haleakala Highway, two of the major attractions Maui has to offer! Only 10 minutes from Makawao Forest!
