We decided to stay here as it was closer to the start of the road to Hana and to Haleakala compared to other stays and resorts and it was a great choice. Very clear instructions, great kitchen & appliances options for those who'd want to use it, and we loved the overall ambiance of the place. Partner is already talking about returning for another trip in the future.

Fantastic little getaway

This property is perfectly located close to Haiku, Paia and the start of the Road to Hāna. Easy drive from here to Haleakalā as well. Property was very safe, including an electric gate. Owner was friendly and helpful and there were no noise concerns with neighbours in the other units. Parking was ample and access was 24/7. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stay on Maui that is affordable and close to all the major amenities and many attractions.

Nice location but rooms need a renovation

The apartment is big. Bed is comfortable. The shower need definitely a deep cleaning or a renovation. There was mold in each corner. The kitchen is small and is the home of ant’s, for us it was not really comfortable to cook.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Nov 2023
Aloha Dear Guest! I'm delighted to hear that Fabian found the apartment spacious and the bed comfortable. I wholeheartedly agree with your observation about the caulking around the bathtub, and we have plans to address it this week or the next. I've also inspected other areas in the bathroom, and they seem to be fine at the moment. Given Haiku's humid climate, it's essential to keep an eye on these issues periodically. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I understand Fabian's concerns about the kitchen size and occasional ant visits. As I mentioned in my listings, we live in a natural, wild environment, and sharing the property with wildlife and insects is part of the experience. For a more pristine environment, I recommend the large and luxurious hotels in Wailea, where they not only fumigate their buildings but also their landscapes. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance during your stay. Warm regards, Alejandro

A Peaceful Retreat

Peaceful and well-kept property in a rural agricultural area of Maui, convenient to explore the Road to Hana and Haleakala National Park. The studio was comfortable and clean with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom. The California King bed was firm and very comfortable. The Starlink wifi worked well for our wfh needs. The studio is located 0.2 miles from entrance to the property, which is where the trash bin is located to discard trash before check out. NOTE: This is a gated property, and at the time of our trip the gate code was not listed under check-in instructions (it was under driving directions instead). Make sure you screenshot the code before your trip, since cell reception is very poor and you might find yourself parked at the gate without a way to get in.

Natural beauty and a peaceful setting in Ha'iku

We just spent a week at this property- the description and pictures posted here are exactly what we experienced. The studio is bright and airy with lots of windows and great access to the outdoors, and provided everything we needed. We particularly appreciated the comfort of the king size bed - as we get older we find that having a good night's sleep is very important and we enjoyed 7 great nights! Never underestimate the value of a great mattress :). After spending the previous week in Kihei and West Maui, we really appreciated the serenity and the natural beauty of this property, and the opportunity to just relax in beautiful surroundings. This is a great base to explore the North Shore, the Upcountry, Haleakala and Hana - and experience Maui at its best. But you are still only a 45 minutes drive to Kihei and Wailea and 75 minutes from the beaches at Ka'anapali and Kapalua . Alejandro and his family were wonderful hosts - close at hand and responsive if needed, but never intrusive. We would return to this property again.

Some will enjoy it. Isolated.

Place is clean and open and airy... Read "amenities" closely since you may be surprised about what is and is not provided. Internet is from the Jurassic era and incredibly slow. It says TV but you need to read closely and notice that on the next line it says DVD player....there is no "real" TV with on-air and/or cable/dish, etc. It is on a nicely kept "farm" with a few fruit trees that have no fruit most of the year. It is VERY REMOTE so if you like solitude and having to drive everywhere this is for you. Bed is incredibly hard, which some will like but others.... The price is fairly low for Maui, so I guess you get what you pay for. And, oh yes, bring any toiletries you may need beyond a single roll of toilet paper and some paper towels.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar 2020
Dear Keith and Guests, I’m so glad you found our place clean and open, the price was one of the lowest you were able to find, and that our property was well kept. Also, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, since it presents us with a great opportunity to look further into improving our guests' experience. I'm sorry Keith that we did not meet your expectations, but if you ever decide to stay at our place again we won't charge you for your first night neither for the cleaning fee. We look forward to welcoming you again during the summer season, when most of our fruit trees are generally blooming with produce. Also, I only wish I would have known while you were here of your other needs, I would happily have provided you with a thicker mattress topper to make your stay feel more comfortable and at home. Please know that we find challenging to satisfy everyone's bed needs simultaneously, so we opted for a medium soft bed. As for the toiletries, to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable stay, please pay closer attention to our listing so you are expecting what is listed & described there. Please note that our studio offers TV/VCR/DVD plus movie library as we include on our site. Since from your feedback we are now looking at adding satellite Dish/TV + faster internet. Regarding internet speed, unfortunately the whole island's internet is connected to the same internet source, so when Maui’s lodging occupancy rate is over 96% as it was during your stay in February, the internet speed decreases dramatically everywhere; including at our farm. I’m sure this will be improved over time. For our future guests, we are happy to have created a prime environment at our property that helps disconnect from busy lives, is peaceful & quiet, and is 10 to 15 minutes away from touristy areas. Thank you! Alejandro.

Great choice for us

This is our third time staying on this beautiful property. It really suits us, as we like a quiet environment with alot of natural beauty. It's necessary to have a rental car as it isn't walking distance to any towns, but that was fine with us. Almost everything that we wanted to do was 5 or 10 minutes away. The studios are all really nice and well equipped. Any time there was an issue, Alejandro and his lovely family were quick to respond. I would definitely recommend this property!

The studio was an excellent find. It had everything we needed and the arrangement of the kitchen, living, dining, sleeping areas is such that it hardly feels like a studio at all--very cool! It was very comfortable and well appointed, very clean and tidy. The overall property is great for wandering around and admiring--lots of greenery to explore! Alejandro was also very attentive and accessible, and his dog Romeo is incredibly loving and peaceful. We also enjoyed seeing his art on the walls. Mahalo!

The studio was more comfortable than I was anticipating and I am so grateful I chose to stay at Alejandro's property. The property's energy is incredibly peaceful, still and quiet. If you are looking for a quiet sanctuary for your stay surrounded by nature this would be a good match. It's also one of the cleanest accommodations I've ever stayed at. Loved the hand-made soap provided in the bathroom. The whole experience was wonderfully easy - check out/check-in with the lockbox and quick attention to any questions I had really worked well for me. Will stay here anytime I go to Maui.

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.
