Glorious!

Claudia and Kevin are truly conscientious and dedicated to their guests’ comforts, and respond quickly to any need. We really enjoyed their grounds; the pool was a delight and fresh papaya and oranges picked from their trees for morning treats was special. Hale Mauka Makai, inside and out, is a setting for a glorious stay in Maui.

Perfect home on Maui

We had a wonderful stay at Hale Mauka Makai. The house and surrounding property are absolutely beautiful-sweeping views of the ocean from one side and pristine pool and Haleakala views from the other. Claudia was just fantastic to work with, taking the time to show us around the house, property and orchard-even sharing fruit with us. We loved everything about our stay. So appreciate having a quiet, meticulously maintained and beautiful place to truly relax on vacation. The neighboring cows were wonderful as well! Can’t wait to come back-this is a special place to be sure.

Paia paradise

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay. The house is beautifully decorated and meticulously maintained. The photos do not do it justice. The grounds are extensive and afford complete privacy with plenty of fruit trees and views of both the ocean and Haleakala. The pool is lovely and with its motorized cover, stays pleasantly warm. Paia is a short <10min drive away. Claudia and Kevin could not be more gracious hosts. We would love to stay here again!

A Tropical Paradise

We booked a stay at this ideal property as part of a retirement trip for my parents and could not have asked for a more ideal booking or better hosts. The property is located right outside of quaint Haiku and within a short drive to the town of Paia and Mama's Fish House. The owners, Claudia and Kevin, also included every item you would ever dream of needing for a comfortable stay and the multi-acre, private property has numerous fruit trees fresh for the picking. Its truly a tropical paradise and it felt like having a home in Maui for our visit! We will be sure to book again when returning to Island.

This house is PARADISE!

I recently stayed at this home with my husband and 4 kids and we had the best time! It was hands down our best Hawaiian vacation on any of the islands. This was such a unique experience as the home is situated on such an expansive piece of land. The kids had so much room to roam around, play at the pool, pick fresh fruit and feed the cows (and deer) that lived next door! It was a perfect launching point for so many adventures, visiting Makawao, Paia, Haleakala, Road to Hana and the beaches. The house was also absolutely immaculate and completely stocked with everything we needed. Claudia and Kevin are incredible hosts and very responsive. We can't wait to come back!

Just the Best!

We are frequent visitors to the Hawaiian Islands and have rented several properties after abandoning the usual luxury hotel stays. This was our first property rental on Maui and boy did we luck out! The location was perfect - very private, away from the crowds yet close enough to restaurants and island attractions. Having the property owners nearby and always there to respond to any needs or questions was a real plus. We appreciate Claudia's interest in connecting with us, making recommendations, encouraging full use of the property including the various fruit trees and her personal vegetable garden, yet respecting our privacy. When we return to Maui, this home will be our first choice!

Paradise Found

Wanted a place away from the busy tourist environment. Hale Mauka Makai was that plus much more. Very private with beautiful grounds on several acres. A swimming pool all to ourselves. I won't even try to describe the interior of the home. I will just say that it is beautiful but yet comfortable & inviting. Claudia is the ultimate host. Very concerned that our stay was all that we expected. Only negative is that adult children would like me to take them back every year.

Wonderful in every way!

Our family (including two kids under 10) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It's hard to list all the highlights as there were so many! The setting was beautiful and private. The house was well appointed throughout. We appreciated how well stocked the kitchen was to feel like home and have everything we needed to prepare meals. Our kids loved the beach gear/sand toys and we used them daily. The private pool was lovely. We picked oranges and grapefruit from the trees near the house and enjoyed fresh squeezed juice daily (what a treat!). Claudia was an exceptional host who truly thought of everything to make our stay wonderful. We have rented homes around the world and this was one of our favorites.

Beautiful stay in paradise

We stayed with 6 of us (family of four with two kids, plus two grandparents) for a week in August 2022. We had a great week. The location is great, it's close to Paia yet secluded and peaceful. The views from the back lanai, where the outdoor dining table is, are amazing. We never wanted to go out to eat because it was so peaceful and calming to be at the house, eating dinner as the sky turned beautiful colors with the sunset. We loved having the cows visit at the fence of the neighboring property, they were so sweet. Claudia was amazing, giving us a great tour of the property and loading us up with fruit. There are so many fruit trees on the property, and it's such a beautiful experience to be able to pick your own fruit. We also loved the saltwater pool, and spent a lot of time in it. It gets nicely warmed from the sun so its super comfortable. Definitely do not hesitate to book this amazing property!

Just what we needed for our Maui vacation!!

This home is exactly what we needed for our family of 4. We spent two weeks at the property, and could have easy spent more time based on how convenient the property and location is to everything. Claudia is such an amazing host and was always available for any questions, needs or concerns. Her attention to detail certainly made for a worry-free and enjoyable stay. We also loved how the property is more than a place to stay, but a place to experience based on the beauty of the grounds, views and amenities around the home. The grounds are kept with several fruit trees and gardens that allowed us to eat fresh fruit and vegetables when cooking out. The town of Haiku is also located near, which is a wonderful places to eat and shop, while keeping with the slower pace of this side of the island. This being our 3rd time to Maui, we were able to relax and see areas we had yet to experience when the rest of the island was some what crowded. If you are thinking you need a home away from home while visiting Maui, do yourself a favor and enjoy Hale Mauka Makai as part of your Hawaii experience... we certainly will again!!

Absolutely Unforgettable and Amazing Stay

Our stay at Hale Mauka Makai was by far the best and most memorable of all the experiences we have had on Maui since we started coming on vacation to the island for the past 20 years. Everything is beyond perfect, starting with the hospitality of the owners. Claudia and Kevin are amazing hosts, everything operates perfectly, the property is so well taken care of, way beyond our expectations. We loved staying in the veranda and enjoying our meals with the ocean view and the amazing garden. The interior of the house is so beautiful and inviting to stay inside too. My kids had a great time at the pool, which comes full of toys ! Also we have to highlight the hosts generosity by allowing access to fruits and vegetables they produce with such care in the beautiful orchard. I have no doubt that Hale Mauka Makai is our first call for a future stay on Maui. Strongly recommend for those that seek a place that offers the magnificent hawaiian beauty with all the comforts of a five-star plus lodging. Finally, have to close with a personal thanks to the hosts. You provided and unforgettable experience to us. MAHALO !!!

North Shore Paradise!

We had a very enjoyable 4-week stay at this beautiful VRBO in Haiku. We appreciated being on the north shore and, by association, getting to explore more on this side of the island. The house is clean, airy and well maintained (weekly housekeeper). It comfortably accommodated our family of three, with each person having access to their own en-suite bathroom, a saving grace for us! It has a fully equipped kitchen with appliances which I found especially useful for morning smoothies and cooking my own spicy dishes from time to time. The owner very generously invited us to help ourselves to fruit and veggies from her charming garden which we did! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and sprawling. The pool is one of the best we’ve experienced at a VRBO-expansive-all of us together in it did not feel crowded; it is also comfortably deep enough at almost 8 feet. We got to experience several days of poolside lounging-what would a beach vacation be without this?! The pool swimming also helped us practice getting our strokes down for swimming in the ocean. The owner always made herself available to address any concerns we might have had, very pleasant and friendly. We also felt we had privacy both within and outside, neighbor homes, although relatively close, are still not able to peer in or overhead, a very desirable feature for us. There is not enough I can say about this beautiful home, if anything, we look forward to going back!

Dreaming of living there

We stayed at this house for 3 1/2 weeks in July 2021 (we were three couples and a 9 year old). I can’t think of anything about our stay at Hale Mauka Makai that I’d change except for wishing we’d stayed longer. Don’t be skeptical of how the reviews make it sound amazing. It is. We loved the beaches, boat outings and restaurants we visited during our stay, but the house and hospitality of the owners made our vacation feel perfect. We spent most of our time lounging around the property, reading, swimming, drinking and having great conversations with friends and family, playing music, and just staring at the ocean. Some of our favorite things: Claudia and Kevin, the roosters, gecko noises, the cows, the bamboo, the palm trees, eating freshly-picked papayas every day, all the other veggies, fruits and herbs from the yard, and the trade winds blowing through the house. We never needed AC. The pillows were so amazing that I plan to ask where they bought them. I’ve rented houses all over the place and this is the first one that felt like home, in large part because of the owners and how they are connected to the aloha spirit and the land. Any need/concern we had got immediate attention from the owners who are just beautiful people who give the property its amazing feel. Claudia even offered to store my daughter’s bike in her garage in case it still was the right size for her the next time we come back. I agree with the reviewers who say the pictures don’t truly capture how nice the house is. The surrounding area is wonderful as well. We loved the food trucks in the Haiku market area, the towns of Paia and Makawao, the turtles invading the nearby beach every evening, and the cute Japanese restaurant in Haiku. We also had a wonderful time outrigger canoeing at Claudia’s suggestion. I would jump at booking this place if it happens to be available on the dates you want. Really. You’ll fall in love with the whole experience and want to return.

Started with a great introduction to the property by the host Claudia. The stay was fantastic and felt like home.

Missing the roosters

We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed the lovely large pool for short laps, picked oranges for our morning juice, played hard and slept well. We brought a croquet set and played killer matches through the lawn and orchard. It's a good location for exploring different parts of the island, especially if you get on the road early. Our penultimate adventure was kayaking in the early morning to see the whales. Claudia is a fabulous host and her suggestions re: food truck delivery and water sports companies were excellent. Do be prepared for an early morning competition between roosters.

Our stay in paradise…

My wife and I rented this house to avoid the hotel crowds. It was our honeymoon trip and we didn’t feel like sharing the pool, bar, etc. with everyone else. This was a perfect spot for privacy. Our own pool, our own orchard, our own slice of paradise. The host lives close so the one time I needed to contact them, they were the within minutes. Great spot…my wife is already talking about a return trip.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Ledesma

Host profile image
Claudia, Kevin and Nohealani are the members of our happy family.
We absolutely love sharing our little paradise we have created here on our 4,3 acres in Haiku.
We have built our homes, have landscaped the grounds and maintain it all ourselves to this day.
We continue to add to the beauty, as well as functionality of the land with orchards, vegetable gardens and a palm nursery, all whilst keeping the privacy intact.
We love living off of our land and so do our guests.
We love to be active, play in the ocean when our work schedule allows us, but we also enjoy the calm and serenity of our property.

Why they chose this property

Away from it all, complete privacy, but so centrally located, that you are close to all of the attractions Maui has to offer. It embraces you as a local resident and invites you to live the real Maui life!

What makes this property unique

The energy of this beautiful land fulfills you the moment you step foot on it. That is how it began for me in 1995 and continues to do so for my family still and the many wonderful guests we welcome.
