Po'okela Paradise was lovely! The location was perfect for our Maui visit, making it easy to get to everything. We loved the views from the patio, comfortable beds, and the spacious living/kitchen/dining area. Mark was an excellent host! We would definitely book again.

Pookela Paradise is superb. The host made us feel very much at home. The views from the house are spectacular. The walk into town is easy. We didn't have to drive too far to see or do anything. We'd love to stay again.

As local contracted workers in Hawaii, Mark is a gracious host and his place was completely accommodating for our needs.

I travel to Hawaii every year or so to visit family and have not had great experiences at vacation rentals there. I decided to try again and hit the jackpot with this place. It was clean, spacious, and, very importantly for me, had an extremely comfortable bed. It was only me, but it's so large and spacious that it would be of fantastic value for a small group or family. The view from the dining room and lanai was fantastic, the neighborhood quiet, and it's within walking distance to one of my favorite places in Hawaii, the village of Makawao. The host, Mark, was extremely accommodating and kind. The next time I go back to Maui, this place is at the top of my list.

Great views out the front room window, dining room and deck. Close to Maui family so that was a huge plus!

The house is beautiful but there is a house being built next to it on the property with all the attending noise and bad smells. The neighborhood is also quite noisy. The house was not very well supplied. The owner is on site and very friendly. Maui is magical no matter what, and we all had a great time.

Great property. Walking distance to historic Makawao. Beautiful view of the mountains and bay from the deck and dining area, great sunsets. Full kitchen. Laundry access is a plus! Comfy beds. Overall it was nice staying in a neighborhood. Only downside is the noise of the neighborhood: rosters crowing a lot of the night, dogs barking, etc. So just bring ear plugs.

Thank-you Mark for making our stay so enjoyable. Your offer of a late check-out when our flight was delayed was so generous. We will stay again!

It was a fantastic stay here in Makawa. My friends and I are here celebrating a big birthday and home was just perfect for us. The views are incredible. The weather in Makawao is so cool. In the evenings you just never need an air conditioning. We met Mark the owner, who was super nice and accommodating. I will come back here with my family again if it’s available.
