This cottage in up country Haiku is perfect! Lovely grounds landscaped with tropical flowers and fruit trees surround this property. Wonderfully appointed kitchen has everything you need to dine in. Super comfy king bed. Our host, Hank, generously provided fresh oranges and bananas whenever we asked. Quaint Haiku and Makawao towns near by for groceries and fun shopping. The awesome surf break Ho’okipa is just a 10 min drive down the road. Truly a gem on Maui’s north shore. Thank you Hank!

We had the most amazing time here! The cottage was beautiful and very secluded. The bed was very comfortable, and the home was very well stocked. Hank was a wonderful host, even dropping off a fresh avocado from the property. We enjoyed the Lenai that surrounded the home, with coffee each morning. We already want to come back! Thank you, Hank, for a wonderful time.

Another magical stay at my happy place. From the moment you pull up to the cottage to the moment you turn off the lights at night, Hank's place will lull you into a state of calm you’ve never experienced before. With all you need for a most comfortable stay with a view you can’t wait to wake up to in morn, a convenient location to all the beauty the area offers.

Just returned from 10 days at Hanks cottage in Haiku.The place is so well appointed. Comfy king bed, nice furnishings, all you need in a kitchen and nice bathroom.A deck that wraps around the house, with a view over the trees out to the ocean. The place is surround with trees, hedges and flowering shrubs. Total privacy! Great retreat after a busy day. Hank was a great host!

This was our 7th time staying at Ho’okipa Bay cottage. We asked, can it be any better than the previous 6? Yes! It can! Hank has provided everything we needed…beautiful home, comfy bed, incredible views. We love going to the touristy areas during the day. Then returning home to the lanai, soaking tub, outdoor shower. What a way to re-energize after a long day. We will treasure our memories of Hank’s place and look forward to returning. Our happy pace! Joy and Tom

My husband and I enjoyed a week in this simply delightful cottage. After 4 days in a beautiful (but very busy!!!) Wailea resort, it was fantastic to check into this immaculately clean, quiet, private, well-stocked little cottage. In 15 years of traveling to Hawaii this was the most lovely, peaceful place we have ever stayed. Everything was consistent with the reviews we read prior to booking. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, as well as a welcome basket of snacks and fruit, and there were clear instructions for those little things you need to know (how to turn on the range or the freezer ice maker, etc). The neighborhood is peaceful and there are groceries and great restaurants less than 5 minutes away. Upon booking, the owners were immediately communicative and helpful and provided guidance as to which special restaurants and outings needed to be booked well in advance, so that we were able to enjoy everything we wanted to do on Maui. (One tip: don’t book too much because you will find yourself simply wanting to sip a beverage and relax on the lanai.) We have found our go-to place on Maui and look forward to a return visit next year.

We could not be happier with our stay, and although there is much to do and see in Maui, we found ourselves looking forward to making it back to this serene cottage. Appointed with everything we needed and a spectacular lanai to catch some rays, cool off in the outdoor shower, and enjoy a grilled meal to the song of birds, was a dream! Hank was a great host and very helpful and responsive. The property was well located, and the rest of the island was easy to get to. Would highly recommend a stay here as Maui is busy, but this secluded hideaway makes you feel like you are the only ones on the island!! We will definitely try to get back soon!! Thanks for the wonderful stay!!

Hank's cottage was a perfect spot. We nicknamed it our treehouse as there were sliding screen doors on three sides that let you appreciate and enjoy the landscaping around the cottage which was provided natural beauty and privacy. Hank thought of everything and the cottage was very well provisioned and very clean. What was hinted in a few of the reviews but not fully understood until we explored the area is that there are two towns within 5 minutes of the house which provide some funky, far less touristy options and a grocery store so going into down doesn't need to be heading back to Piai. We liked Colleen's, The Public House and Casanova for dinners and met a lot of nice people.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and beautiful house. The entire process was smooth, and the house is well furnished. We’ve come to really enjoy the Haiku area It’s rural enough for quiet but within 15 minutes to Kahului and several small towns, and quite handy for day trips to Hana or Haleakalā. If you want an escape from the tourist areas of Maui, this is a wonderful option.

We both felt so comfortable and at home in this lovely open concept accommodation. The owner and manager were very helpful. They both offered hand picked oranges, tangerines, bananas and lemons that grew on the property. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed with everything one could need. We will definitely be back.

The guest house is a wonderful traditional design, and its private location is surrounded with tropical landscaping and a view of the hills and ocean. Casual yet luxurious comfortable furnishings, and well supplied for beach trips. Hank is a great host. Aloha.

We absolutely LOVED staying here. When we arrived our breath was taken away - not only from the sunset view, but from the cleanliness and attention to detail taken for the cottage. Everything was beautiful - from the fresh fruit and snacks greeting us on arrival, to the immaculate furnishings and build of the cottage. The photos definitely don't to it justice. It was easily our favourite accommodation and location we stayed in. Hank, your host, is incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to our questions and messages. The grounds of the property are beautiful too - and make for a good stroll with a coffee in hand. We both wished we had more time at this wonderful cottage, and loved the location in Haiku - close to upcountry and close to the beach. We will be back! Thanks Hank!

This house was one of my best finds on VRBO since and I have been using the services (along with other timeshares I have used before VRBO). If you want a quiet out away place away from the giant resorts this is your place. Oh, and I did I say you are within an hour of anywhere from this place. 10 to 15 min.to the Twin Falls on the Hana hwy and 10 to 15 min from Paia. Around 30 min to the airport. Loved this place and yes does have a view of the shore. The stars at night and the soaker tub were great. Hope to come back this place soon. The host was really nice and ask to try his homegrown short bananas the best I have had.

Beyond perfect. Did I enjoy falling asleep to the lovely sounds outside our cottage or waking to those same sounds in the morning. We slept like rocks. The king size bed was delicious. Had breakfast on the deck with our friendly little gecko every morning. Hanks cottage is everything and more. The view is spectacular as is the lush foliage beautifully maintained. Perfectly located. Great restaurants nearby. Our intention was to feel like we were living in Hawaii. Mission accomplished Can’t wait to return.

My husband and I stayed at the cottage during our (much needed ) getaway from the kids. The host has thought through every detail of a couples trip. We had fresh flowers throughout the house, a welcome basket of fruit and healthy snacks, detailed directions to local restaurants and beaches. The outdoor soaking tub was a nightly ritual that allowed us to watch shooting stars. The open panoramic sliding doors and vaulted ceilings made it feel as if we were sleeping in the open air. The breeze was filled with the aroma of the tropical gardens all around. The location was also perfect . You could drive into the nearby towns and explore or across the island to west Maui in an hour. Then at the end of the day, retreat to a private paradise.

The cottage was an ideal home for us while on Maui. It was clean and had everything we needed with great views and beautiful landscaping. Hank is a great host who is not intrusive but eager to make sure everything is going well with the stay. The location was very convenient for getting everywhere we wanted to go and was close to excellent restaurants. Everything about it was beyond expectations and made for a wonderful visit to Maui.

This is our second time at what we call Hank's Place (or Hank's Hawaiian Hideaway, sometimes). It is tied with one other place (in Spain) as our favorite share rental in the world. Hank is a wonderful and reliable host -- there when you need him; not there when you don't. Best of all, it is a FRAGRANCE-FREE RENTAL!!! (Not counting the soaps and shampoos that are provided; but the bedding is, the most important part; and also, no annoying potpourri.). Although you are on the "rainy side" of the island, that is no problem for us. The trade-off is that you are in paradise, surrounded by beautiful nature in every direction, and complete privacy. I could not recommend this place higher. We hope to come back every single year.

We were looking for a private place to stay away from the resorts and we found just that. Hank was more than kind. The cottage was perfect for the two of us. We loved the surrounding community and probably would have never found the local charm without staying here. We did not want to leave.

This Cottage is elaborated and well equipped in a beautiful surrounding. We had a great stay and with the privateness we felt much more comfortable than in a big resort. With the position in Haiku you could reach everything within a short drive. Beautiful beaches are nearby... close to Paia. We also loved to look at the turtles at the Hookipa Bay. Barbara and Hank are very kind owners. Everything was perfect!!
