Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Haiku-Pauwela

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house/location. It had all the space and amenities to make it a comfortable stay for our party of 6. We loved waking up every morning and walking over to Kraken Coffee for a delicious cup of coffee and then later walking over to the food trucks at night for an amazing variety of food for dinner. Probably our absolute favorite thing was how conveniently close Foodland grocery store was. We would love to stay there again in the future! Mahalo!

We’ve been to Maui four times in the past year, and Peter’s place has been by far the best location and value of all our visits. It’s perfectly situated—just 5–15 minutes from what we feel are the best beaches and snorkeling spots on the island. The location easily beats Kaanapali and Napili. The home is well-kept, in a quiet neighborhood just off the main road, so you get peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Peter is a kind and respectful host—he gives you your space but is quick to respond if you need anything. I don’t usually leave long reviews, but after staying at so many Airbnbs, I can confidently say: if you’re heading to Maui, this is the place and location you want. 100% satisfied. Thank you, Peter.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we slept very well. We appreciated the private patio space. This home is in a convenient location for easy walking to restaurants and shops in central Paia. It was hard to leave!

We were so thankful to stay at Sandra's lovely place. The villa was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were able to make meals, including using the bbq, and ate most of our meals on the deck and a few out by the pool. The pool was nice and warm, and we loved the outdoor shower. The entire space was very private. Sandra was gracious and accommodating with a special, last minute request, we highly recommend this stay to other guests.

the home was a great and John was very helpful throughout our stay. The instruments onsite were an added bonus as my kids were able to delicately use some of them (one currently in guitar lessons, another in piano) while I played along with my set of harmonicas. Has a heated outdoor shower which is always nice. Didn't need to bring our own beach towels and there was plenty of beach equipment available including chairs, umbrella and boogie boards. As to be expected of a jungle beach side home there are ants, termites, and critters, but none were ever a problem through our 4 night stay. No AC, but that was never a problem. Fans in all the rooms. View from the upper deck is amazing, and every morning we watched the sunrise before going out to the beaches and such. Food around town can close early so being mindful of that can be important if you want some of the best in Hana if not the whole island (braddah hutts and huli huli chicken for starters). overall, highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful property in tranquil, relaxing setting. Centrally located in upcountry with easy access to nearby towns and distilleries. The home is beautiful; you can see the little touches that make it special and shows much pride in ownership. Hoping to make this an annual event and enjoy the property again!

My family and I absolutely loved our stay! The space was beautiful, comfortable, and just a short walk to the beach—which was a huge plus. We really appreciated that the home had everything we needed, from the kitchen to beach umbrellas, chairs, and more. The community was peaceful and welcoming, and parking was super convenient. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we were able to relax, connect, and make beautiful family memories. Highly recommend and would love to return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Turtle House. Poni was wonderful, location made us feel like we were locals. Beaches were amazing, so many fun restaurants to choose from. Her guide book was second to none, recommendations were spot on. We will definitely stay here again.

Very nice property, clean and very well located.

Manolo is a very helpful and proactive host. He made sure that we were okay and had everything we needed. House is pretty, with a beautiful yard. Manolo has snorkeling equipment, flippers, boogie boards, etc. House is close to the restaurants of Paia Bay (10 min walking), which is great because parking is always a problem in Maui.

Perfect stay for us. large apartment with all amenities needed and great location

Very spacious apartment on a beautiful and peaceful property with amenities. Walking distance to the beach and short drive to other beaches and surf shops. The unit had everything we needed like a full kitchen and beach towels, as well as the washer and dryer which came in really handy. Yuana was super responsive and accommodated our requests and questions!

The OG of Airbnb, Derrick's place is unique, fun and close to everything you need for your trip to Maui. If you are looking for accommodations beyond the cookie cutter condo then this is it. Derrick was available in person and by text and was a very gracious host. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning to this little slice of paradise.

Brie's AirBnB was the perfect mini vacation for us and our children. Highlights: We enjoyed going out the back patio to the private pool on the property. The AirBnB is on the ground floor which also made it easier to come and go. But the main part is we ALL felt at home. Plenty food places to go to. We went to Nalu's and Kihei Caffe :) We are so very grateful synchronicity brought us to Brie's Airbnb. Mahalo for the last-minute booking!

Great place, clean and quiet and close to so many things. I would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay! Right across the street from Charlie Young Beach.

We had such great time during our short stay. The listing was just as described, with all the beach amenities provided, towels, chairs umbrella, etc. The location was right off the beach, yet very quiet during the night. Highly recommend staying here.

Karen is an excellent Host. The Apartment is perfect, modern, great location, well equipped, there are plenty of restaurants in walking distance but yet the Apartment is in a peaceful location. There is a beautiful beach literally minutes away. Can't wait to come back.

Great place - will stay again. Complex is nice, quiet and very cleaen. BBQs, small pool. Parking is easy. Walk across to beach and sunset :)

Our family of 5 had the most comfortable stay here! Really appreciated the beach chairs and toys available - since the beach was within walking distance, we were there any time we had a free moment! The location could not be beat. We were less than a 5 minute drive to our surf lessons, Foodland, and the Kihei food trucks. Kihei Caffe is right next door! The beds and pillows are super comfy and we had the best sleep we’ve had in an Airbnb. Felt right at home.

We were so happy with our stay. The location is great- right across the street from a nice beach area, close to fun restaurants and centrally located to everything we wanted to do in Maui. It was so nice having access to the beach chairs/umbrellas/beach toys and having everything we needed provided with the rental. Rebecca was great about giving us clear information and instructions, and responded quickly when we needed a response. We felt right at home and will definitely consider booking here again if we ever make it to Maui again!

This place is absolutely great for family and friends. Great view ans Steps away from the ocean. 1 block from t9 or so food trucks and shopping, and the food is on point. Cheapest Gas on the island 1block away and a grocerystore3 blocks away. The kitchen has anything you need to cook and the knives are sharp!!! My pet peve. Bathrooms are great as well. Angela was super easy to get hold of. We left some medication in the fridge and the cleaning crew kept it for our son to pick up the day after we left! This is. Five star operation, not high rise 5 star hotel stuff but utia 100% worth the money. Don't count it out!

Lori’s condo is in a fantastic location and had everything you could think of to enjoy our vacation! My family loved being minutes away from the beach, restaurants/food trucks, and local shops. We would absolutely stay here again when we return to Maui! Mahalo!

Our stay at Su’s was great. Two minute walk to the beach and two minute walk to the grocery store. Everything was clean and matched the description on the listing. Would be nice to have a hot water kettle and tea available for non-coffee drinkers but that is really the only thing missing.
