Nice place, clean and well organized.Even though it’s right on the road apartment is quiet and balcony to the backyard is really nice and the road noise doesn’t carry through.Had a great stay.
My unit was spotless and had everything I needed. The location was ideal for me and I enjoyed being so near Paia for excellent shopping and meals. The little Kuau Store is just steps away and has delicious coffee, poke, pastries, sandwiches and anything else you could want for your stay, including a full selection of wines and spirits. The beautiful little beach near world famous Mama’s Fish House is very close and easy to walk to in just a matter of minutes. If you were lucky enough to have a reservation at Mama’s you are in for a delicious experience! Kelly was very accessible and easy to communicate with and made sure my stay was comfortable. She was super!I highly recommend this condo and look forward to future stays.

Aloha Jed, glad you enjoyed the trip! Paia is a real gem here on the North shore of Maui, and we look forward to your next visit!
Paia is not a good location since it doesn’t have much. And it’s the most windy part of Mayi. But this place is amazinggggg! I appreciated the rice cooker, stuff to clean the house, some beach gears. It even has spices! Place is nice & clean. The sliding door was a bit hard to open. There’s a drying rack which we could dry our wet clothes from the beach.

Mahalo for your feedback, glad you loved the condo. Paia isn’t a resort area, which is exactly why many guests love it. It’s known for its laid-back, authentic North Shore vibe, beautiful Baldwin Beach, walkable boutique shopping, and world-renowned spots like Paia Fish Market and Mama’s Fish House. It’s also the gateway to the Road to Hana. Also tons of turtles on the beaches!
Paia is a great fit for travelers seeking charm and a more local Maui experience.
This a great location for us, we have family off hana highway. Love being able to walk to beach and mamas fishhouse. Unit overall good. Meet our basic needs.
Lack of clothes storage kids making a whole lot of noise below us. Was to far from the beach to walk

The unit is less than a 5-minute walk to beautiful Mama’s Beach, exactly as advertised in the listing.
The bedroom includes hanging cubbies in the closet for clothing storage.
We’re also sorry for any disturbance from children during your stay. The complex is typically very quiet and primarily occupied by adults, and it is uncommon for there to be noise from kids.
We loved the condo and location. It was clean, exactly as it was listed on VRBO and easy to access Mamas Beach! We loved sharing the beach with the sleeping turtles as well as walking for dinner to Mamas Beach Restaurant. The drive to Paia was less than 5 minutes and of course Paia Fish Market is there and is just the best for fresh locally caught fish! !
This was the perfect place for my son and I. The condo was clean, comfortable, has a beautiful, spacious kitchen, and is a very short walk to the beach. The property manager Kelly was very responsive and an excellent resource in helping with a few questions I had during our stay. We look forward to going back again!

The place was not what I thought it would be. I didn’t know it was in a complex. It was clean. I was not able to turn the lights on in the bedroom except for the lamp.

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay. The unit is clearly listed and advertised as a Kuʻau Plaza condominium, and the photos and description accurately reflect that it is part of a condo complex including exterior photos of the complex itself.
We also want to note that we were not contacted regarding the bedroom light. Had you reached out, we would have been more than happy to assist you immediately, as guest communication and comfort are very important to us.
We loved staying at this condo! The location was perfect. We enjoyed relaxing on Mama’s Beach and it was so nice to be within walking distance to Mama’s Fish House & the beach. The condo was very comfortable and clean. A truly wonderful experience!
We had a great time on our family vacation! Thank you for the different accommodations we needed and the good communication through the stay.
Until next time…
While the outside is nothing special, the unit was beautiful and obviously recently updated with new granite, cabinets, shower etc. the kitchen was fully equipped and a joy to cook in. And the bed and linens were absolutely wonderful - made me want to upgrade our bed at home! We are sticklers about AC and the bonus was a unit in the bedroom for maximum comfort. As advertised, literally steps from Mama’s Beach - gorgeous, small but a current local hang out that had great snorkeling and a great vibe. Loved this place - lots of detail to comfort and luxury.

Looks much nicer in photos.
Good central location to see the sights. But this place is way too much $ for what you get. Won't stay here again.
Great stay but wish the deck sliding door was easier to open and close as I would have used the deck more. It was a good stay though and perfect for our time there. Thank you for all your help.
This was our first time to Maui and Paia was the area we wanted to be in. We found this condo was situated well for the things we wanted to do (beaches, Hana, Haleakala). The condo was clean which is important when you travel so far. Good kitchen for cooking and very comfortable interior. Kelly was really responsive and helpful for the few questions we had and so everything just fell into place quite well.
Really enjoyed our stay.
We really loved the location near the road to Hana and convenient to Haleakalā National Park. Also Paia is a cute town with nice restaurants. The room needs some attention. Patio doors stick, broken bedside lamp, something wrong with the bedroom light.Overall it met our needs. It wouldn’t take much to make it a five star stay.
We chose this location because we wanted to see Haleakala Crater and surf on the north side. Cut down travel time at least 30 min from our usual stay in Kihei. Perfect location for both.
Large eat in kitchen and fast knives made getting groceries and cooking easy beating high Maui restaurant prices.
Make sure you get the checkin directions directly through Kelly herself. Vrbo is sending an older set with the wrong check in code and cell reception in front of the complex is spotty.
Kuau property was fabulous! The condo was spotless and looked just like the photos.
It was very comfortable, VERY clean and had everything we needed.
We really enjoyed having the beach necessities too!
This property is close to everything and you can easily walk to the little market!
I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
