North shore maui cottage. Very clean. Excellent laundry facility. Feel of local area and environs. No big hotels. 2 great beaches to walk to in the neighborhood. Kuau store (with killer eats and just about everything you might need on short notice) is just up the street. Cottage is simple but has all one needs to cook great meals and comfortably relax and hang out. Great spot for North Shore athletes like foilers, kiters and windsurfers.

- A friend and I stayed for a week, I have friends living in Kahalui. They took us around a lot. I went snorkeling and saw a lot of turtles. - The cottage itself was very comfortable for the 2 of us, and I had put my local friends on the contract so they would come for dinner (brought fish they caught!). The kitchen was well equipped. The bathroom was fine, a little small and with a shower stall, no tub. ***It would be excellent if you could get a fan put in the bathroom to suck some of the humidity out and send it outside.***- Close to beaches (can walk to 2). - Private yard with tropical gardens (my favorites - Plumeria, Tahitian gardenia, orange jasmine), and birds. Also outdoor shower available, and hose near door to wash your feet off. - Washer and dryer which were very welcome in the heat and humidity. Also another toilet in the laundry room. - Kuau store very close and convenient.- Paia town very “cool” with shops and restaurants.- Mama’s Fish House is close by. We found it very overpriced (no prices online), i.e. local fish entree 80. Maui is expensive but Mama’s was not worth it in our opinions. Also I had made the reservation months ahead of time but was unable to get a lunch reservation on a Monday until 12:15. They open at 11:00, this meant all the tables by the windows were already occupied. - We found some great restaurants in Paia which were great and reasonably priced. - great spot!
