Holiday 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.

My first hostel experience at age 58. It was amazing! I was informed by other guests that this hostel is, by far, the best they’ve ever stayed in. From the moment I booked it, until checkout, I had amazing service! They answered my questions before arrival and throughout my stay. You won’t want to miss the excursions! They’re the BEST part of your stay! They provide beach towels, snorkeling equipment, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, so no need to bring your own. There are restaurants and grocery stores not too far away. Bed was comfortable but you have to request a blanket. Prior to my stay, I requested a bottom bunk because of my age and fortunately they were able to accommodate me. The staff were very professional and made me feel included. My 2 regrets: not renting a car for my 2 wk stay. Fortunately they have a Group Chat where you can find rides occasionally and other information. Other regret - not downloading the door code app. Highly recommend Howzit for all ages!!

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 stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. While the building has a motel-like appearance from the outside, the rooms are beautifully furnished, very clean, and extremely comfortable. Our room was on the second floor—just a heads-up that there’s no elevator. The location is excellent, very close to the airport, though you will definitely need a car to get around. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would strongly recommend this place for your next visit!

There are no words to fully capture how special my stay at Rob’s place was. Every morning, I woke up to the most breathtaking view of the ocean and lush greenery. The private room and bathroom made it feel like a peaceful retreat, yet the warmth and care Rob showed made it feel like I was staying with a longtime friend. Rob is the kindest, most thoughtful host I’ve ever met. He took the time to teach me about Maui’s history and the meaning of living pono, which made my experience even more meaningful. As a college girl traveling solo for the first time, I felt incredibly safe and cared for here. Rob respected my space, but was always there whenever I needed anything. This was more than just a stay—it was a deeply memorable experience. I’ll truly miss Rob and this magical place. Thank you so much, Robert. I’ll never forget my time here, and I hope to return someday.

We had a great time with my wife, despite talking about the fact that we only speak Spanish, Beth communicated very well with us at all times. We recommend the stay.

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.
