About this property
Hunter Hales KALA cottage is the Perfect Getaway!
Hunter Hales “KALA” is one of two identical 810 sqft cottages on one half acre lot privately located just behind the Haiku Town center. This listing is for “KALA”cottage. Conveniently located at the start of the Road to Hana. Enjoy the quiet laid back life style of a classic Hawaii country town.
You will feel so at home within the detailed cottage, equipped with everything one would possibly need while on vacation. Including a full kitchen, full bathroom, charcoal BBQ and private parking area as well as a private washer/dryer for each hale.
This is local Maui vacationing at it's best!
There is a comfortable Queen bed accommodating 2 guests comfortably, Each cottage has additional pull out couch for “Kala” futon couch for “Hoku”. The hale is to be rented to one group at a time. The backyard is the perfect space to wind down in the light of the setting sun after a day full of Maui adventuring!
The cottages are conveniently located within walking distance to the hub of our charming Haiku Town. There are many restaurants and cafes within the small town center, including local fish Tacos, exquisite Japanese and Sushi, Indian, Thai,Mediterranean, Kombucha, Vegetarian, Vegan, Steaks, Pasta, Burgers and Local Grinds!
With Haiku Market grocery store, open 7am - 9pm well within walking distance from your front door there is an option to cook many meals from home. There's also a gym with yoga classes and more, Maui Jujitsu taught by world class teachers, hardware store, post office and even "Haleakala Bike Company" for the adventurous way to descend down the sloops of Mt Haleakala.
Located just off Hana Hwy, 25 min from the airport, 10 min to the adorable seaside town of Paia, tide pools, swimming beaches, windsurfing, surfing, kite surfing and more! Twin Falls Waterfall, The Bamboo Forest and rainbow eucalyptus trees are also day trips not to be missed.
The hunter cottages are set for you to hit the beach!!!
Each cottage comes with a good quality drink cooler, beach towels, a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella and two Tommy Bahama beach chairs. (best beach chairs ever!!) The beach equipment will be in the bedroom closet when you arrive. We ask that you do not bring any sandy beach equipment back inside the cottage.

About the host
Hosted by Mike Grier
I have lived in Haiku for over 20 Years and would never want to leave. I'm a carpenter by trade and have a wood shop here in Haiku. I surf, windsurf and stand up paddle, being in the ocean has been a priority for me since I moved here from Canada in 2001.
