Not only this we also need somewhere quiet & relaxing after long days on Maui's awesome beaches & seeing some of its stunning countryside. The Cottage provided this and more. Surrounded by stunning tropical garden plants that fill the air with a fragrance better than any perfume you'll ever buy,in a location that overlooks woodland, pineapple fields & Ho'okipa bay in the distance,a breathtaking view as you sip coffee or juice in the morning, one you just have to see!!.The inside of the cottage wont disappoint either,built in a traditional style with stunning wood floors & high vaulted ceilings, beautiful furniture & just about everything you have in your house Hank & Barbra have provided in the Cottage for your vacation, they really have thought of everything.

We were lucky enough to spend our time not just windsurfing & surfing but travelled the length & breadth of Maui discovering the island for ourselves places no tour would ever take you & also checked out a few of the so called exclusive places, hotels & accommodation on the south of the island (the ones you'll see in the brochure's) The Ho'okipa Bay View beats them all, here you'll have it all to yourself. Just spend a week or two & check this place out you'll be hooked for life. We'll be back for sure & it takes a day or more for us to travel there from the UK.

We did not mind the commute to the beaches or wherever we chose to go. We felt in fact that this allowed us to feel less like visitors and more like island residents. It gave us a chance each day to see the same views change as the weather changed. Driving past Ho'okipa Bay each day is a wonderful treat. We especially liked being able to take back roads to get up to the crater as we avoided traffic from the other direction.

I loved the washer and dryer location outdoors. The experience was like being in a well protected tree house. We love having the outdoor come in as well as the indoor out, so your home was perfect with all the patio doors and windows and the protected deck.

For anyone who wants to save money and not go out to eat a bunch, we found the kitchen very easy to work in. We appreciated having a cooler, beach chairs and towels provided. We were able to pack a lunch each day and take it with us.

We cooked in every evening and ate twice for breakfast at Charley's. We had friends over to celebrate Chris's birthday. Chris loved the gas grill so much that we made a last minute stop on our last night there to buy steaks to grill out with.

Next time we will stay longer so we can enjoy a few days just hanging around the cottage. It is very peaceful and there are many nice area roads to walk on.

The cottage is newly constructed and perfectly sized for two. There are so many full length windows that no matter which way your turn, its nearly impossible not to see the hillside of Haleakala, the ocean, or the beautiful landscaping. The Kline's provide everything you could ever need, such as pots & pans, washer & dryer, beach chairs, beach mats, cookware, plates, silverware, king size bed, plush bath and beach towels, the list could go on and on. If you needed it, they had it! (they also encourage you to ask them if something you need happens to not already be in the cottage.) Hank and Barbara have stocked their magazine rack with local restaurant menus from the nearby towns of Haiku and Paia. The cottage is very quiet, we were never woken up by any type of outside noise, even sleeping with the windows open. The cottage is situated 5 minutes from the Hana Highway, where you're already 10 miles into the road to Hana (past the boring part). The cottage is located such that you never have to drive very far to get to great local beaches or restaurants (10 min tops), and its under a 40 minute drive to South Maui and about an hour to West Maui.

We enjoyed spectacular sunsets, rainbows, real (warm) rain and the sweet smells and sounds that can only come from a rain forest environment.

We love to windsurf and staying on the North Shore of Maui was a must for us. We found the cottage just as beautiful and our stay just as enjoyable on our second visit. The cottage is immaculate, beautifully furnished and very well maintained and the view of the Ocean across Maui's pineapple fields is spectacular.

A great location... close to beaches, charming little towns, up-country hikes, or... perfect for just relaxing right there. There is a gorgeous view from the porch. The plantings around the cottage are lovely. The interior is charming...
