We did stay Oct. 14 for 1 week with our family, 2 children in the 2 bedroom apartment, breathtaking views, beautiful and clean garden, fresh fruit and coconut right off of the trees, large and abundant property, no neighbors and silence. You can see stars at night and the moon shimmer on the Pacific Hawaiian ocean at night. Geographically located in the center North, you need to take your car for all the beautiful spots to explore, which we felt convenient, not to crowded and part of the journey to see all the different attractions on the island. We were stunned and felt humbled when we discovered during and our last day 7 large sea turtles resting on the Ho'okipa Beach Park. We also liked Jaws close by for coffee, pastry and snacks. Jaws can be found at Haiku-Pauwela, HI 96708, and is only 2 miles from the property. Make sure you are not missing on the local beer Maui Coconut Porter which is mouth watering and a must have in the fridge and for dinner. Troy Wagner is a super responsive and nice/generous host, Gabi is the caregiver and fun to have around.We would come back.

We had never been to Hawaii before. We picked this place because we wanted to be away from the tourist centers. It was lovely. Peaceful, on the north side of the island. It was great for my kids. there is a huge yard with fruit trees they can run around in. For fellow parents, understand that the second bedroom is out the door and across the lanai. It worked out fine for us but other families might not be OK with the situation. Also for those new to the islands there are bugs. Spiders in the house, ghost ants and other creepy crawlies. We didn't know and were a bit weirded out for the first few days. We loved however listening to the gecko's chirping outside at night. We delt with the bugs by putting all open food in the refrigerator. We cooked several times at the house and it was easy and convenient. We had a cane toad that showed up on our lanai most nights. We named him Bob. We did not know that they were poison. So we kept our distance but enjoyed him too. It was also nice to have access to laundry machines. We washed a couple of times after getting clothes super dirty and were grateful for it. The kids also loved the pool and used it most days. It was wonderful to wake up in the morning and see the ocean in the distance and feel the cool breezes. There is no air conditioning, but with the trade winds and the windows open it was fine. The beds were super comfy too. Understand this is not a hotel room. It is part of a house. Our TV did not work in either room at the time. We did not tell the caretaker but are sure if we would have it would have been fixed. We ended up not watching TV at all. All in all it was a wonderful stay. Paia is my favorite place in the world now. I miss it already. I learned so much being there and the house was a big part of it. It is not perfect by any means but it is calm and peaceful. That is why you are going there right?

Typically go to Kauai and have had the opportunity to stay with family in the past in private plantation house as well as resort condos or VRBO House. It's quieter and we tend to shy away from the large tourist crowds. The songs from the birds and the geckos were the loudest sounds heard at Maui Ocean Breezes. We didn't see any other guests and had so much privacy in our apartment and on the lanai. Gabi was a wonderful host, very responsive and welcomed us with coconuts where we enjoyed the freshness of the coconut water and then the sweet coconut meat. We were thrilled to also enjoy a freshly picked lemon from the lemon tree and some celery from the garden as well.

We were able to check out the stand alone cottage and the retreat above the apartment as well. Will return and select the cottage. Wonderful property, clean and the amazing view and breeze kept us comfortable and captivated. The only downside was spotty wifi and limited cellular reception. Asked Gabi to reset the wifi, which helped a bit. Given all of the other positive attributes of this beautiful property, the wifi was a minimal inconvenience.

Venture into the nearby towns - Haiku - try the food truck (Mediterranean food) and Nuka Japanese restaurant. Paia - loved Café Mambo's Fish & Chips and Mana Foods groceries - biggest avos you'll find! Makawao - for Komoda's malasadas and short bread cookies.

Our stay at Maui Ocean Breezes was exceptionally pleasant, quiet and in tune with the natural surroundings. We'd breakfast on fresh bananas on the porch watching the sunrise, watch colorful geckos scurry about, discover many plants and fruit, sit on the lawn next to huge toads at night, do yoga in the tranquil meditation hut. Gabi and John were excellent hosts; always there when you needed them, but otherwise unobtrusive. The dwelling - "Hibiscus Hideaway" was airy and simple, decorated with whimsical ocean frescoes, but had all the necessities and more. The only caveat was that the WIfi was too weak on the porch to be really usable, though this was not a problem indoors. We were more than pleased with our stay and would be happy to come again.

Awe-inspiring!!! You drive down Hana highway past the new Jaws Country Store and turn LEFT towards the ocean.
