About this property

North Shore in a quaint neighborhood so close to the beach.

Hale Makai was named top 10 Dream Maui vacation rentals by “Conde Nast Traveler Magazine” in 2024

You can't beat the location: Kuau Makai is just a few steps away from Mama's Beach in a quaint and quiet neighborhood where it is still a pleasure to walk about. The house is on 2 levels: there are 4 bedrooms and 2 bathroom downstairs and 2 more rooms, both King size with bathroom attached on the second story. Gourmet kitchen, dining and living room and a 1/2 bathroom are also upstairs and so is the lanai with a partial ocean view, perfect to sit in the evenings just shooting the breeze. Outdoors the house is surrounded by a tropical yard with a hot/cold water outdoor shower, a BBQ and laundry area, with 2 washer/dryer sets, in the back . Hale Makai is the perfect setting for a reunion of a large family or a group of friends. Children and adults alike will love watching small fish in the tide pools at Mama' s Beach as well as turtles swimming in the bay.

In 5 minutes you can drive to Ho'okipa Beach Park and watch world-class windsurfers and kite surfers. Even if you are not into water sports it's an amazing spectacle, not to be missed! If you are into water sports, you can surf from the neighborhood beach (intermediate or expert), windsurf, wing surf, SUP, etc.

Mama's Fish House is definitely an experience to be had at least once when on Maui! in the town of Paia, less than a mile from the house, you will find several small restaurants and boutiques and get your groceries at one of best natural food stores on the island, Mana Foods.

We have beautiful trade winds and ceiling fans, but no AC.

A weekly mid-stay clean is mandatory for stays of 2 weeks or longer

Parking space off street for 4 cars.

Perfect! The gathering and personal spaces at the house and amenities provided everything we could have dreamed of for our family of 9 (4-60 years of age). Quiet neighborhood, Mama’s Beach and a short walk to the Kuau store are reasons we’ve stayed here for the 3rd time.Host checked on us at arrival and quickly responded if we had questions. Private garden space allowed kids to play outside when we weren’t at the beach. Just can’t say enough!

Beautiful spacious home!

Lots of room for my adult children, spouses and grandson to gather, yet get away for some private time too. We enjoyed the very short walk to the beach and easy access to the highway into town. House was also well equipped with beach gear. House manager and owner were quick to respond to answer questions and take care of our needs.

Family Vacation

This house is even more stunning in person. There was more than enough room to accomodate 5 couples on our family vacation. The views were breathtaking- from one kitchen window you can see the ocean and from another kitchen window you could see the mountains. There was a short walk to the beach where we saw sea turtles sunbathing daily. The property manager was very responsive to our requests and the neighbors were nice as well. Well worh ever penny!

This house is amazing. There’s 3 kitchens, 2 living areas. One of the kitchens is a mother in law suite for privacy. We put one of the couples there. We had a get together with friends and this house was perfect z it was like 60 Yards from a beautiful beach with sea turtles. There was a store/deli right down the street in the neighborhood.

Journey to Hawaii

Everything was very nice and clean , the bedrooms where perfekt . The living and kitchen area , with the sofa and the porch is missing a nice atmosphere… it does not invite to sit and stay there . Would be easy to change . My recommendation in the kitchen is to but labels on the closed or onsite that everyone knows where the dishes belong I am a professional interior advisor and support people How to create with a low budget Beautiful places where everyone feels like home .

A Week In Paradise

This larger property is located in a beautiful residential area with a sheltered cove and beach just a few dozen steps away. The house easily accommodates a large family with 6 bedrooms and 4-1/2 bathrooms. It is like a triplex with two larger kitchen and living room areas and a smaller master suite with a kitchenette. This was perfect for our family: mom and dad, three adult children with spouses, and a total of three grandchildren. Each family had their own private space. We all enjoyed the two larger communal spaces and kitchens. Everything was clean and the property manager responded to our requests quickly. The grandkids enjoyed the ocean toys provided. Two washers and dryers meant no waiting for an available washer. We would be happy to rent this place again.

Perfect location for a week in Maui

We really enjoyed staying in this area. We felt it has more to offer than vacation resorts. Paia is more quaint with some really great ice cream, shaved ice, and restaurants. In fact, the poke in the little general store, just around the corner from the house, is the freshest we had on the island. Upcountry, farms, and hiking are easier to access from here. And the cove next to the house was ideal for the kids to play since it's protected and doesn't get busy. They were out there almost every day. The house itself is a little dated, but it's very spacious and fit our group of 11 with room to spare. And even on very hot and humid days, it's still breezy enough that it felt comfortable. It's also well stocked. All the essentials were provided. The only thing I wish it had is a coffee grinder since we bought various local coffees to try and then found out we didn't have a grinder.

Great North Shore Experience

This is a confluence of three rental units that can be combined for larger groups. There is a duplex--each side two stories--with living areas upstairs with verandas and views to the ocean. Then there is a "sky bridge" to an upstairs over-garage suite with separate entrance that has more privacy. Windows, verandas, views everywhere--lovely. Too many balconies to count. Colorful tropical landscaping. Refreshing trade winds through all rooms. Plenty bathrooms. Adequate kitchens. Outdoor shower. Lots of snorkeling gear, beach chairs, towels. Two, new, huge washer-dryer sets. Short path between neighboring properties to intimate beach with sea turtles. Adjacent to Mama's Fish House complex (high-end restaurant and a couple nice rental houses). Walk to Ho'okipa Beach Park, and short drive to groceries, shops, and eateries in Paia. If you like North Shore, and have a large group, this place is hard to beat.

Large space with room for all of us

There were 6 adults and 1 child and we all had plenty of room. This property is set up as 1 studio, 1 2 bedroom unit and 1 3 bedroom unit, but when you rent the house you get all areas. The condition of the house is in need of a little TLC, neither garbage disposal worked. There are 3 TV's, one worked, one did not even turn on and 1 had limited channels. Some of the windows were very hard to open and close and some of the locks were broken. The wifi/internet went out and could not be fixed while we were there (last 4 days) but they did offer us a small refund for the inconvenience. For the price we paid I expected it to be in better condition. Overall though, the spaciousness was really nice. We all had areas where we could hang out for some privacy. It is close to Mama's beach where we did see turtles on the beach. It is a good location for exploring the central and east side of the island.
