Evergreen Cottage @ Maui Adventure Villa

On the positive side, the location was great for access to the National Park and Hana. However, VRBO's description was inaccurate. This is not a cottage. The second "bedroom" is a screened in porch with two couches that are too short and hard for anyone to actually sleep on. The place was marginally clean. Evidently the cleaning woman was drunk. So we cleaned it ourselves. There is no view of either water or mountains but a lot of plants. It can be noisy with machinery and neighbors fighting at 3 am and shining lights into the porch. The owner is difficult to contact since the wifi is spotty at best; worked about 10% of the time. He also was defensive about our concerns but eventually tried to work with us.

Would go again, stayed 11 days in studio with kitchen + nice screened in patio. This like a traditional, simple Hawaiian cottage in a nice, quiet neighborhood. "A REAL HAWAII EXPERIENCE" On north shore of Maui convenient to Paia, Hikui road to Hana, famous Jaws surf spot etc.,try Coleen's Mama's Fish House both excellent(Mama's expensive check 1st)

Great owner & good value.Hope to return soon.

John was very friendly and welcoming on arrival. The description and house are exactly like the listing, no surprises. We had a great, relaxing couple of days in nature before meeting up with a large group at a resort. Perfect hub some Road to Hana adventures.

This place is full of geckos. Everyday we have to deal with couple. Also we experienced some big roches. My 14year old daughter was always freaked out with those geckos. I was not able to sleep properly and always used to check the ceiling and under the bed. My 1 year baby got really sick from those geckos and her peditration thinks that she got some stomach bacterial infection from geckos' wastes. The cottage doesn't have any privacy. You can be clearly seen from all directions through the windows. The other room has only screens with no glass or curtains. It was rainy and windy when we were there and had to move the couches inside the kitchen place to avoid getting wet and to avoid the cold wind. Also you can see gabs in the gottage walls that is an easy accesss for all kinds of bugs, insects and those geckos.

John, the owner, was really very nice and we like him. But I don't recommend the place for anyone with kids. It's been 3 weeks trying to get my 1 year old baby back to her normal.

We can’t wait to come back and stay here again. The cottage was very clean and touches like high quality linens and beach towels made our stay more enjoyable. The view is beautiful and the surroundings are quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas on Maui.
