Bliss

This little cabin is a perfect, peaceful, out-of-the-way spot for accessing everything that Maui has to offer. It was our home base for surf lessons, whale watching, snorkeling, sunbathing and swimming. It's ten minutes from some of the greatest surf breaks in the world, so watching the pros do it is just an ordinary part of the day. Great food (especially in Makawao), but we also cooked a fair amount in Alejandro's unfancy but well-equipped kitchen. The birds and the stars from the cabin are ... just ... aaahhh.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Feb, 2025
Aloha dear guests! Thank you for your interest in our place! 😊 Just a quick note: The gate code can be found in the section: "Directions and parking / How should guests get to your property?" It has been listed there for about three years, though I’m sorry David missed it and had to ask around. Also, I highly recommend printing or saving the driving directions digitally in case your cell service is spotty in Haiku. Looking forward to hosting you! Mahalo!

Beautiful stay!

We enjoyed our stay immensely at this property in Haiku. It's a great spot to explore Upcountry as well as Paia and Hookipa. While there can be heavy rain showers in the area, it was quite charming from the property, to stay dry and enjoy the views. The unit is exceptionally clean and has everything one could need. Alejandro was v. responsive. As others have noted, there are occasionally some small critters in the units (lizards!), a facet of being in nature in this area! but they didn't bother us and we didn't bother them :) All in all, a great stay and we would definitely come back in future travels to Maui!

Rejuvenation in Nature

Three long-time friends sought respite and rejuvenation in the quiet surroundings of the property. The studio and lands are well cared for and inviting. The close proximity to Paia, Makawao and the road to Hana (10-15 minutes) offered a great jumping off point for day trips while the solitude of the property offered a quiet location to return to at the end of the day to rest, enjoy the company of great friends and bath in the sounds of nature -- bird song, gecko chirps and the wind in the trees. Would recommend to those seeking the natural beauty of Maui. Deep appreciation for sharing your property with guests.

Lovely and refreshing

We spent 2 nights at the property and it was my best stay in Maui. I loved waking up to the forests and the chirping birds … our host and their family let us hang out with their dogs who my toddler loved playing with… very tastefully and thoughtfully set up property and super close to paia which has some amazing beaches and restaurants … overall can’t thank the hosts for sharing their space with us…

Beautiful place and excellent host

If you are looking for a quiet getaway from the city noise - this is it! Very quiet and lovely - all you hear is the sounds of nature - the crickets and the birds! The layout is also very good - we were there with another couple and The units are connected by a foyer which made it very easy for family to stay together and easily dine together etc. Alejandro is a great host, very responsive and caring. Lots of geckos to see :) beach is just few minutes drive away and also close to Makaweo and Paia, as well as right at the beginning of road to Hana. Comfortable studio unit - large and spacious.

Maui's Hidden Gem

This was my first trip to Maui in almost 20 years and my first time staying at this property. What an amazing and beautiful place. I was looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful where I could enjoy my trip without being surrounded by other tourists. This place absolutely nailed it! This place was everything I could have hoped for and more. I spent 10 days at the property and rarely saw anyone else and felt as if I was staying at my own private resort. Waking up in the morning, brewing a fresh pot of coffee, and then sitting outside listening to nothing but the birds and rustling of the gorgeous palm trees was surreal. I am already planning my next trip to Maui and will be staying here again 100% As others have said in their review, the photos don't do this place justice and it's even more beautiful in person. As soon as you enter the property and drive up the long driveway you know you are somewhere special. The driveway is lined with the most beautiful palms and various fruit trees. After 10 days of staying here I have not one negative thing to say about this place other than you need to experience it for yourself. 10/10 from me!!

About the host

Hosted by Alejandro Goya

Host profile image
My family and I moved to Maui in the early 1990s, drawn by the island's natural beauty and world-class windsurfing. Over the years, we've come to appreciate the peaceful lifestyle, vibrant community, and incredible landscapes that make Maui such a special place to call home.

Hosting guests at Mana Aina allows us to share this peaceful corner of Maui with visitors from around the world. We hope every guest leaves feeling refreshed, reconnected with nature, and with wonderful memories of their stay.

Why they chose this property

We chose Haiku because it offers a quieter, more authentic side of Maui while remaining close to everything visitors want to experience. Mana Aina is our peaceful 12-acre organic hobby fruit farm, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and fruit trees, yet just minutes from beaches, waterfalls, hiking, Paia, and the Road to Hana.

Because Mana Aina is set in Hawaii's lush tropical environment, you'll likely see geckos, colorful birds, butterflies, insects, and other local wildlife—all part of everyday island life and one of the many things that make Maui so special.

What makes this property unique

Mana Aina is more than a place to stay—it's a peaceful retreat where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience a more authentic side of Maui. Wake to birdsong, enjoy your morning coffee surrounded by tropical gardens, then return each evening to the peace and quiet after a day of exploring the island.

With spacious grounds, Mana Aina offers a level of privacy and tranquility that's increasingly rare on Maui. It's a place where you can relax, recharge, and experience the island at your own pace while remaining just minutes from beaches, Paia, waterfalls, hiking, and the Road to Hana.
