About this apartment rental

A peaceful getaway in the Maui countryside. Areca Suite is the perfect place to relax, unwind & enjoy the ocean view & tropical setting in your own private 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment with coastal ocean views from the lanai, living / dining room and both bedrooms. The apartment is isolated & safely distanced from the floor above where quiet hosts Robert & Stephanie live. You will have your own private entrance & adjacent parking area, private ocean view lanai & exclusive use of the entire ground floor apartment. Very private; there is no space shared with any other unit.

Areca Suite is ideal for a quiet vacation getaway, honeymoon or your home-base to take advantage of many nearby activities. A peaceful, clean, getaway perfectly located in the bucolic Maui countryside away from the crowds. You’ll experience the sounds of wind in the trees, tropical birdsong and native wildlife including laughing geckos and chuckling chickens. Enjoy the clear skies; sun, rainbows and showers by day, stars, moon and milky way by night.

We're located near the start of "The Road to Hana" for you to explore beautiful Maui. We're also within an easy drive of Haleakala Crater for another great day trip, sunrise or sunset. A great location for hiking, waterfalls, beaches, shopping and restaurants in Haiku, Pa'ia and Makawao and so much more....

The ground floor Areca Suite apartment is approximately 1000 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living/dining room, kitchenette (not stove/oven), washer / dryer and spacious lanai (patio). There's a dedicated workspace desk, with a view of the ocean, if you're working remotely or need to catch up on email.

Lanai: There's a lanai for your private use with coastal ocean views and dining seating for four guests, plus some comfy chairs. Propane grill and also beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards are located on the lanai.

Bedrooms: Bedroom 1 has a king bed, bedroom 2 has a queen bed. Both bedrooms have a/c, ceiling fan, dresser, bedside tables, hanging closet, luggage rack, bathrobes and slippers. Bedroom 1 also has a 32" TV with internet access for you to use your own account, Netflix, Hulu etc. In addition, a queen-size memory foam sleeper sofa in the living room offers an alternative for guests 3 and 4.

Kitchenette: Has a full-size fridge/freezer, and counter-top appliances ideal for light meal prep: Air Fryer, microwave, coffee maker w/grinder, kettle, steamer, blender, toaster, electric hotplate, plus dishes and utensils. There's a propane BBQ grill on the lanai solely for your use.

Kitchenette is ideal for guests doing light meal prep and reheating. Although we'd like to provide a stove/oven and dishwasher, that is not allowed for Areca Suite per the local building code.

Guests who prefer a full kitchen (including stove/oven and dishwasher) might want to consider our other listing here at Tranquil Palms Maui. It's called Palm Cottage, VRBO #1426728.

We are located on 2-acres in a serene setting. Feel free to pick ripe fruit in season for breakfast or a snack.

Location: Areca Suite is a peaceful, rural location to get away from crowds and enjoy nearby waterfalls, hiking and communing with nature, but still close to shops and restaurants. We are about 10-minutes to the nearest beaches (Hookipa, Baldwin, Sprecklesville), great restaurants and 20 minutes from Costco, Walmart and Target in Kahului. If you prefer the Central - South beaches of Kihei they are just a short 30-minute drive away. Jaws Country Store is 2-minutes away which has handy items and also serves to-go food and coffee/smoothies.

Nearby things to do: We’re located near the beginning of “The Road to Hana” and so there’s plenty to do right here. It s a beautiful tropical location, with lush greenery and flowers and impressive waterfalls. Twin falls is a short distance away, also Na ili ili-haele Stream & Waterfalla nd Waikamoi Nature Trailhead. The Gardens in Haiku are nearby and The Garden of Eden Arboretum is a short drive away. There’s great stores and galleries in Paia and Makawao (approx 6 miles each) or visit Haleakala for that once in a lifetime experience.

Whatever you choose to do throughout the day, you can relax on your lanai (deck) for a peaceful evening.

Clean, private and in a nice location that's a bit away from the crowds. Beautiful grounds with fruit trees, palms and geckos. We spent a week and despite the rough weather we really loved our time there. Quiet - the weather was the loudest thing there, the birds second. The home was stocked with everything needed, well organized and labeled. It was nice to see a basket of snacks and cereal for us to get started. There is no stove but the kitchen was quite usable. Internet was fine - my only problem was that I love to watch the local news in HI and due to the location of the home it can't receive broadcast TV. Unless your streaming services carry HI channels then you might have to use the local websites instead. The home is located a block away from the Jaws country store which has a few items, pizza and baked goods. Costco and Safeway are about 20 min away, depending on traffic. Mile marker "1" on the Hana Hwy is just around the corner. Haleakala Crater road starts just a few miles away. Good beaches nearby with turtles and surf. Calmer swimming beaches are on the south end of the island, about 45 min away. We loved it would definitely return. Thanks for the Aloha !

We have stayed here previously and it’s always be a great place to stay in Haiku. The hosts are responsive, nice and very accurate with their information. The suite is always clean and well equipped. Highly recommend this property if you are looking for something in the Haiku area.

We had a wonderful stay! It was peaceful and quiet! We slept amazing and our hosts were amazing! They made sure we had everything we needed plus some! They were very thorough with information and were happy to help in any way. They even left snacks, and coffee for us. You have everything you need for a perfect stay there.

If we ever come back we will know where to stay for a relaxing and stress free trip!
