Vacation rentals in Makawao

Todd was responsive when messaged and the stay was pleasant. No AC but the nights are cool and the ceiling fans are strong (and have remotes). It was nice to have a little stock of amenities to use and contribute to such as sun spray, laundry detergent, and other things that aren't the easiest to travel with. I was in the area for work and it was really nice to have a quiet place to stay that was away from the tourist hubbub. I wouldn't recommend this place without some vehicle accommodation from the get-go; the nearest bus stop is about 1 mile away, same as the nearest grocery store. The location is beautiful, though, and I really enjoyed all the times I walked and driven.

Howzit is a great brand of hostel and there is one At the Big Island as well.Howzit organizes Activities or tours every day.I suggest that if you have time, you should participate in Howzit's activities. It's a very interesting experience. You can also make friends and meet people you like.Looking forward to having the opportunity to return to Howzit and Maui again.

Wow! Where do I start. I’ve travelled and stayed in AIRB&B”s all over the world. Every now and then you come across a place that truly drives the experience. This is one of those places. Beautiful, quiet, island country feel, private and safe…. I felt like I was living in a dream. Place was CLEAN 🧼 Bedding was super clean and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design. It’s upstairs, so you can walk out and hang out in the patio and witness a 360 mountain and ocean view…. It reminds me of countryside Japan so much. Vernon was super responsive and kind with check in instructions… This is the greatest deal on the island and at this price and experience, Vernon will take a lot of business from the competition. 10/10 !!!! I’m very picky, I recommend this place to EVERYONE visiting the island, you won’t regret it….

An absolutely beautiful home in a really cool area! We used this as our home base for exploring Maui’s upcountry and I can’t imagine a better place. Views are incredible, awesome patio space and a huge living room. About as close as you’re going to get to Haleakala National Park. Really, really cool home. Wish we could’ve spent more time there. We had planned to catch the sunset up on Haleakala but decided to get takeout and watch the sunset on the patio instead — highly recommend! (Great little group of food trucks down the road) Had a brief interaction with Steve and Diane on our way out and they were lovely.

We loved our experience here. Beautiful views of nature from every room. Lovely rain showers and breezes keeping things cool. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. Good location for both road to Hana and Haleakalā. We appreciated the snorkel gear, toys and beach supplies. Highly recommended! One thing to note is that the laundry and supply area is a little tricky to access (it's below the house), was not a problem for us, but may be difficult if you have mobility issues or are unstable on your feet.

We love Maui and visit the island frequently. Each time we try to stay in a new location to get a feel for that area. We chose Haiku this year and were lucky enough to hit on the Pineapple Cottage. It was easy to find, yet tucked down an access road so that it felt very private. What can I say that others have not mentioned? The house and location were great and the hosts were extremely nice and helpful. We could not have asked for a better experience. Now that we are back home, we will surely miss the oranges, grapefruit and avocados that were supplied to us from Steve and Ivy’s garden. Oh, and don’t let me forget the homemade banana bread that Ivy left for us in the frig. We stayed for three weeks and would definitely return again and again.

Penny was a great host and went above and beyond to make us feel at home!

The place was lovely, nestled between a lush garden and a beautiful ocean view — truly picturesque! They offered breakfast options, which was a nice touch and made mornings easy. We did spot a small lizard in the bathroom, but it had been mentioned in the listing beforehand and didn’t bother us. We only wish we had more time to enjoy the lanai — it looked like a perfect spot to relax.
