Cottage holiday rentals in Makena

we enjoyed our week long stay at Hank's place. the area is beautiful and there is a lot to do. Hank had a number of useful kitchen amenities and was very friendly and accommodating! thank you!

We LOVED everything about this location. Iao Valley is so special and the location of the AirBNB itself was perfect for getting all around the island. We visited at the end of March and never ran the AC once. It was hot during the afternoon but the morning/late afternoon/evening cool off, with the winds blowing into the valley were so perfect. AND the birdsong in the morning was so beautiful that I recorded it and sent it to my family (minus the rooster song- but that's just Maui living for ya). If you want a good cocktail check out Ester's Fair Prospect, they have a nice selection of liquor and a fun vibe, located in the city of Wailuku right next door to this place. Also we loved the goodies that were left in the fridge. The pineapple on the island is SOOO good. Sooooooo good. Forget the banana bread hype... just eat the pineapples and bananas fresh! Mahalo!

Great place for exploring Maui, especially if you want to get away from the resorts and enjoy a cute Hawaiian town and upcountry. Margit’s place has everything you need (full kitchen, lanai, beach towels, w/d, filtered water….). Her cottage is well taken care of and in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Top notch.

Unique stay just outside of Makawao, perfect location for Muai's upcountry adventures. Staying here shaved at least 45 minutes of the drive to sunrise at Haleakala compared to staying at the resorts on the south side of Maui. Very unusual home, we thought it looked like a bamboo space ship. It would work well for small family or two couples who were good friends, plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was very well stocked, be aware there is no dishwasher. Host was responsive and gracious. Would stay again if we are ever back in Maui.

This was such a lovely stay! Jenni’s place was so clean & beautiful. I have never stayed in an Airbnb that was as well stocked as this one. The location was perfect — a short walk from restaurants & the water & close to everywhere we wanted to go.

We had a great stay at Alexandra’s. The apartment is very cute and clean, and it’s in a great location to enjoy Kihei. Just a few minutes driving from all the restaurants and beaches. At the same time, the neighborhood is very quiet and we woke up every morning with the sounds of birds singing.

We wish we could have stayed longer. David a Dawn put a lot of hard work into the space. The pool/hottub and sauna were very clean and enjoyable. The Jungalow itself felt very private and great sunset. Everything you could need is there for you kitchen, bathroom, fireplace, plenty of seating everywhere . The open air and big windows make you feel like you’re living outside. The porch and balcony were great for relaxing on. Plenty of parking and easy to get in and out. The property itself is gorgeous. Great flowers plants and trees, smelled great everywhere you went. Plenty of places to go from the property and they were very helpful in telling us the best spots to check out. Thanks for sharing your house with us Dave and Dawn!

Had the best time! Thank you for a wonderful stay!! Such a bonus to meet the owners and feel so welcomed into their cozy space. We will come back if we can!!!

It’s our 2nd time staying there. Her remodel looks great. The kitchen and patio are awesome.

The property and location were amazing. However, what really made our vacation special was how thoughtful and considerate Jim was. It was a pleasure to chat with him, the amenities inside the home felt very purposeful and well thought out, and Jim paid special attention to the fact we were traveling with young children. I could not have asked for a better location or a better host. Our trip was fantastic and stress free because Jim was such a great host. I'm already trying to plan our next stay in Maui and will make every effort to book Jim's place again.

Really enjoyed this beautiful home on the Island of Maui. It was my first time on Maui with my family. The outdoor patio area was very nice. The location was convenient and close to nearby areas on the Island. Emma was an excellent host and friendly. She gave great recommendations of activities to do on the island and was a great communicator.

We loved this Airbnb! Leanne was super responsive and the place was clean and well stocked with everything we needed plus some! It was also close to several beaches. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets in the evenings. Super quiet and secluded spot! Beautiful landscaping too! Definitely recommend!

We had a great stay at Bianca's beautiful home. From the outset Bianca was friendly and so accommodating. Her instructions were clear and the property was exactly what you see from photos (if not better!) She was super responsive and flexible when we asked to check out slightly later due to a work call. We would definitely recommend and stay again. Thank you Bianca!

We really enjoyed our stay at Maggie and John’s. Nice setting and location!

Rosa and Carl are wonderful hosts. They were very kind and helpful providing lots of tips for trips. Accomodation was perfect, refreshments waiting for us after long fly from Europe. Fully recommended. Mahalo!

We love Maui and are so thrilled to have found such a lovely place to stay. Katherine and Dean couldn’t have been more welcoming, helpful and kind. Kihei is a terrific base for exploring and enjoying the island. As we drove out to head to the airport, we all said it was the best Airbnb experience we have had (among many wonderful Airbnb experiences and basically no bad ones). We will be back! :)

Absolutely wonderful stay, the place was clean, well appointed, private, and beautiful. My kids were the first ones in when we arrived, and they ran back downstairs to tell me how nice and clean the place was. Cary and his family were wonderful and welcoming, but gave plenty of privacy and space. The outdoor dining area was wonderful, and the kitchen was shockingly well-stocked. Bathroom is large, clean, and also fully stocked. Highly recommended, will definitely be returning when we get the chance, this is a great little Haiku hidden gem.

My family enjoyed staying in the cottage while on vacation. It has everything you need. The pool was perfect. My 12 year old son used the pool every day. The cottage is close to the beach, too. Best vacation so far!

This home is stunning! The gardens around the home are more beautiful and peaceful than the photos and the house was absolutely perfect for two couples. The small towns of Haiku-Pauwela, Pa'ia, and Makawao are wonderful and have so much character. The management team, Margit and AJ, were incredibly helpful and kind. There was a big storm on the islands the day we were to depart - flight cancelled, power outages, flooding, etc. They welcomed us back to the house for 3 more nights (we couldn't get a flight out until then). Margit and her husband offered to come pick us up at the airport and bring us back to the house, brought lanterns and flashlights to the house since there was no power... all during a crazy storm! We felt so taken care of and they were so kind. AJ in the office helped out with the rebooking for the 3 nights... SO MUCH ALOHA, all around!! We would DEFINITELY come stay here again. Mahalo!!

We LOVED our stay at Nic’s place in Kaanapali. The cottage was spacious and we really liked the lanai (roofed patio). Nic was super accomodating and helped us with any question we had. We were about a 10 minutes walk from a top beach, with turtles and white sand. We took advantage of the amenities in the small complex (prestine pool, shuffle board and parking). We were also very happy that they provided us with a park and play for the baby. Mahalo !

Beautiful location. Secluded and set back from the road with an incredible ocean view. House had all the essentials. Would love to come back.
