Rental Details

Rental Overview

Ku'au Plaza is a very small, friendly, quiet 30 unit condo complex; the only one of it's kind on Maui's north shore. Our fully remodeled, Beach Chic style condo is ideally nestled next to Mama's Beach & tide pools and the famous Mama's Fish House, only a mile from hip bohemian Paia town's award winning restaurants and boutiques. Ku'au Store is a few minute stroll from your door. Be sure to sample their local fresh poke and great deli sandwiches and freshly made daily "to go" items...perfect to stock up for the road to Hana.
The unit is located right on Hana Hwy. so there is some road noise. If you are a light sleeper it may not be ideal fit.
You are surrounded by world class beaches; suitable for every activity from toes in the sand sun bathing, long leisurely walks and swimming at Baldwin Beach, Paia Bay or Ku'au Bay, Snorkeling at Mama's or Ho'okipa Beach Park (summer season) to the most adventurous water sports including year round intermediate/advanced windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP, foiling and more.
Driving east on Hana Hwy., you can be Hiking Twin Falls in 15min. drive, Bamboo Forest-20-25min.. Hana bound? Bonus, you'll have an ample head start on the south & west side visitors, especially if you leave before 8am.

After a long day full of "Maui magic", you will appreciate the split system blasting AC, built-in surround sound, King bed with hotel quality mattress and 100% cotton linens, new furniture and appliances. The kids and extra guests will rest well on our upgraded queen sofa sleeper in the living area. High speed internet, cable and smart tv are included.

We also provide an iron, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, hair dryer, bath towels, laundry detergent, beach towels, chairs, umbrella and collapsible cooler. If you care to BBQ there are several next to the laundry room in the common back yard area.

My unit was spotless and had everything I needed. The location was ideal for me and I enjoyed being so near Paia for excellent shopping and meals. The little Kuau Store is just steps away and has delicious coffee, poke, pastries, sandwiches and anything else you could want for your stay, including a full selection of wines and spirits. The beautiful little beach near world famous Mama’s Fish House is very close and easy to walk to in just a matter of minutes. If you were lucky enough to have a reservation at Mama’s you are in for a delicious experience! Kelly was very accessible and easy to communicate with and made sure my stay was comfortable. She was super!I highly recommend this condo and look forward to future stays.

Paia is not a good location since it doesn’t have much. And it’s the most windy part of Mayi. But this place is amazinggggg! I appreciated the rice cooker, stuff to clean the house, some beach gears. It even has spices! Place is nice & clean. The sliding door was a bit hard to open. There’s a drying rack which we could dry our wet clothes from the beach.

Nice place, clean and well organized.Even though it’s right on the road apartment is quiet and balcony to the backyard is really nice and the road noise doesn’t carry through.Had a great stay.

The place was not what I thought it would be. I didn’t know it was in a complex. It was clean. I was not able to turn the lights on in the bedroom except for the lamp.

While the outside is nothing special, the unit was beautiful and obviously recently updated with new granite, cabinets, shower etc. the kitchen was fully equipped and a joy to cook in. And the bed and linens were absolutely wonderful - made me want to upgrade our bed at home! We are sticklers about AC and the bonus was a unit in the bedroom for maximum comfort. As advertised, literally steps from Mama’s Beach - gorgeous, small but a current local hang out that had great snorkeling and a great vibe. Loved this place - lots of detail to comfort and luxury.

Clean and nice condo. Only door to balcony is very old (Stone Age) and hard to open. Rest is good.

We loved the condo and location. It was clean, exactly as it was listed on VRBO and easy to access Mamas Beach! We loved sharing the beach with the sleeping turtles as well as walking for dinner to Mamas Beach Restaurant. The drive to Paia was less than 5 minutes and of course Paia Fish Market is there and is just the best for fresh locally caught fish! !

We really loved the location near the road to Hana and convenient to Haleakalā National Park. Also Paia is a cute town with nice restaurants. The room needs some attention. Patio doors stick, broken bedside lamp, something wrong with the bedroom light.Overall it met our needs. It wouldn’t take much to make it a five star stay.

Great stay but wish the deck sliding door was easier to open and close as I would have used the deck more. It was a good stay though and perfect for our time there. Thank you for all your help.

Very close to town, very nice property, apartment was very clean and well maintained, all of the amenities you would need were supplied.

We chose this location because we wanted to see Haleakala Crater and surf on the north side. Cut down travel time at least 30 min from our usual stay in Kihei. Perfect location for both. Large eat in kitchen and fast knives made getting groceries and cooking easy beating high Maui restaurant prices. Make sure you get the checkin directions directly through Kelly herself. Vrbo is sending an older set with the wrong check in code and cell reception in front of the complex is spotty.

We loved staying at this condo! The location was perfect. We enjoyed relaxing on Mama’s Beach and it was so nice to be within walking distance to Mama’s Fish House & the beach. The condo was very comfortable and clean. A truly wonderful experience!
