OUR PROPERTY

Welcome to our beautiful North Shore haven! We love sharing our non-touristy, authentic side of the island with adventurous travelers looking to experience true local living. We have all your comfortable amenities, just bring clothes and your Aloha spirit!

Our charming 600 sq. foot surf cottage features unique, colorful homemade decor and serves as the perfect base for adventure. Staying here puts you 45 minutes closer to the Road to Hana and Haleakala crater than the main resort districts, saving you precious travel time!

THE SPACE

Our cottage is most comfortable for a couple celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary. However, it includes a small second bedroom to comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests total if you don’t mind sharing the intimate living space and bathroom.

• Indoor Comforts: 2 Queen memory foam beds (including a custom handmade headboard), a sunlit cozy living room with a TV, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

• Outdoor Living: A private, covered outdoor patio with a picnic table and sun chairs, surrounded on three sides by our signature surfboard fence. Enjoy tropical garden views of Haleakala on a clear day.

• Guest Favorites: A warm outdoor shower with hot and cold water (an absolute guest favorite after a day at the beach!).

• Walkable Convenience: Simply walk out the property's back gate to reach the local coffee shop or small grocery store!

THE NORTH SHORE EXPERIENCE (What to Expect)

To ensure your vacation expectations are perfectly met, please note how our side of the island differs from the resort zones:

• Lush & Naturally Cool: Situated on the edge of the rainforest, our area is vibrant and green. Refreshing trade winds keep us 5–10 degrees cooler than the rest of the island, allowing our traditional home to self-regulate comfortably with windows and ceiling fans (No A/C needed)

• Authentic Local Vibe: Located in a quiet, traditional neighborhood an hour from tourist hubs. Nearby towns are wonderful for daytime shopping and dining, with shops closing by 5:00 PM and restaurants by 9:00 PM.

• World-Class Surf: Our beaches are famous for big winter waves and windsurfing—perfect for sunbathing and watching the pros, though water can be too rough for casual swimming from October to May (winter months)

• Island Life Sounds: Because we keep the windows open to catch the breeze, you may hear our island's wild roosters early in the morning. We thoughtfully provide earplugs for your comfort!

• Popular things guests do when they stay with us: visit Haleakala, Road to Hana, Yoga retreats, Deer hunting, Remote work on Maui, Surf, Windsurf, Kiting, Winging, Mama's Fish House, celebrate Honeymoon / anniversary / birthday

IS OUR COTTAGE YOUR PERFECT MATCH?

• Book with us if: You want a peaceful, adventurous getaway, want to live like a local, and love exploring by car. It is ideal for returning visitors or first-timers who want to escape the resort crowds (we love when first-timers split their stay between our side and the resort side!).

• Consider a resort if: You require full air conditioning, a bustling nightlife, or immediate access to calm swimming beaches. If that is your style, we highly recommend staying in Kihei, Wailea, or Ka’anapali and visiting our area for a day trip!

Our main priority is making sure you have the absolute best visit to Maui. If our local haven sounds like your dream getaway, we can't wait to welcome you!
