The house is just a short drive east along the Hana Highway from Paia, Maui, Hawai’i. The location is a very peaceful, relaxing, and thoroughly enjoyable vacation hideaway. A "baby beach" that is right off the Mama's Fish House (which was great!) is a natural breakwater jetty (modified by human hands) that protects the beach and swimming areas from the ferocious (and beautiful) Pacific Ocean waves. The beach and restaurant are absolutely gorgeous and family-friendly. Paia, by the way, has many shops and restaurants, and I found the food and service to be of high quality and the prices very reasonable.As for the house, we found it to be very “homey,” and that’s meant to be very much a favorable comment. The house is very comfortable with a great layout and has everything you could want. The walk to the beach is a veritable skip and a hop. The house does have in-window air conditioners, and they are more than adequate to keep you cool and comfortable. Appliances are new and complete to suit your domestic needs. Our son loved the separately entered guest room. With a nice outdoor patio, the house felt very spacious. We felt very much at home there and would stay again at this rental.Great place for a young (or older) family. Highly recommended!
We loved the location, close to Paia and a short walk to the beach. The house was very well equipped and perfect for our group. Thanks!
We had an outstanding vacation, and the house was perfect. The host had thought of all the little things that make a vacation go smoothly (especially when you are coming from 5,000 miles away!). Highly recommend any family looking for a VRBO near the Road to Hana
Very cute house and convenient location. Exactly what we needed for our road to Hana adventure. Would recommend!
From the ammenities to the location - absolutely perfect for our group. The house itself was wonderful and comfortable. You cannot beat the location, great town, great beach, and of course walking distance to Mama's! We will be back for sure.
Short walk to Momma's beach - what a beautiful well protected little beach. We were able to see many sea turtles in the water and on the beach. The house was well equipped and comfortable - great overall stay!
Fabulous! Location can’t be beat. Home is exactly as depicted. We loved our stay.
This entire property amazing . It was perfect for our family and we enjoyed the outdoor living area . The host has thought of everything you need for the stay. Leah was accessible via text and responded quickly . Can’t wait to go back and stay here again!
We had a great family Christmas at this location. Very relaxing with great beach access to Mama’s Beach.
This home was an ideal setting for four adults to visit a new grandchild who lives on Maui while enjoying Mama’s beach, accessible by a short walk, and the close proximity to Hookipa, Paia and Makawao. The lanai is beautifully furnished and very private, a perfect place to relax. Our host was very responsive to the few questions we had. We highly recommend this property.

I have a wonderful stay at this house. I love that I could be on one of the cutest beach on Maui just in 2 minutes walk. I also enjoy very much the outdoor sitting area where I could relax and have a cup of tea.

While the house, location and property were all fantastic the best part of our stay was our interactions with the property manager and on-site manager. Both of these individuals were incredibly helpful and communicative. The on-site manager is a lovely individual and she helped our family navigate a more intimate and personal experience with the Island.

Excellent location, located next to a beautiful beach, very nice and clean well kept home, would definitely stay there in the future. I highly recommend this place.
Loved our little Hawaiian house and living like a local in Kuau/Paia. Home is a nice combo of traditional Hawaiian but updated where it counts, AC worked well when we needed it but I loved the louvered glass windows to allow in all the cool trade breezes. The entire home is nicely decorated with all things Hawaiian in a chic and understated way. Landscaping was lovely and the daybed on the lanai saw several naps! The Kitchen was well stocked, great coffee in the morning and even doing laundry which is outside as is norm in Hawaii, still felt like a vacation. So nice to go home with clean clothes in your suitcase! Property is in quiet little neighborhood just east of Paia and at the start of the Road to Hana. You can see roof of Mama's Fish House from the yard, so close but yet so far if you didn't book lunch or dinner 6 months in advance. But not to worry there is so much good food in Paia and in the various food truck parks. Cute shops too and it just felt more island authentic than Kihei/Wailea area. Home was a great base to make treks up to Haleakala, down to Hana or exploring in Haiku/Makawao. This trip we did sunset at Haleakala which I liked better than the sunrise. Take the beach chairs from the house, some drinks and snacks and you have a comfortable wait for the sunset. We also appreciated all the beach towels and snorkeling equipment. Mama's beach is a short stroll and must see for sunset. Local manager was a pleasure to work with and checked in with us when needed.
My family and I are not the type to go go go. It was nice to have such a lovely environment to come back to after we ventered out each day. On days when we were tired, we hung around the beautiful house, read one of the many books from their library or went to one of the nearby beaches 2-5 min from the house and watched the turtles or surfers and windsurfers. Eating out is very expensive in Maui so having a kitchen that we could stock and cook in was another definite plus. The house is fully stocked. They have shampoo, cond, hair drier, lotion, reef safe sunscreen, pots, pans, plates, silverware, tupperware, lots of towels, snorkeling gear, beach chairs. There is a washer and drier with detergent. I didn't need to bring anything and wished I had left a lot of stuff at home. There was a separate bedroom and bath for our teenager so he felt like he had some space. The property is beautifully landscaped with great family areas for hanging out and many private spots for when you want some time alone. We walked to Mamas Fish House for dinner. Get reservations! I suggest getting dramamine. It helps with car sickness along Hana highway, sea sickness if you go snorkeling and it helps a little with altitude sickness when visiting the volcano. The pharmacist said it should also help a little with allergies which was my experience as well. We really had a perfect stay and our time at this house was a big part of that.
Perfect house for our stay on Maui.
The house was perfect for our first time visiting Maui. Very comfortable for relaxing after a day of sightseeing and the beach. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Plenty of TP, shampoo, laundry soap, towels, snorkel gear, beach chairs and supplies. Beds were comfortable and the separate bedroom suite was perfect for two couples. The AC and ceiling fans were very nice. The barbecue grill was nice. We had an issue upon arrival and Kelly and Leah took care of it promptly which we were so grateful for! Close to the airport and never heard a plane fly over once since they take off miles down the road. Quiet neighborhood. The local Cafe Des Amis was delicious. The Tavares Beach was close by and had many turtles that we stopped by to watch from a distance. We would definitely recommend Hale Nanea!

Wonderful stay, good location. 3 bedrooms, nicely updated kitchen. Ample supplies, beach chairs, towels, ice chest. Etc.
Already contemplating our next trip!
This house is great for family or a group of friends. It’s within a stone throw away from Mama’s Beach which is like your own private beach at times not to mention an amazing restaurant . The town of Paia is lesser known but cute with shopping and great food and people. The house fit all our needs and then some!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is adorable and really well stocked with towels, kitchen items and even snorkel gear! Very close to the best turtle beach on the island! Showers are good and the hot water lasts a long time. Very nice and cozy areas in the home to relax inside and out. Close to very cute artsy shops and restaurants. Only minor flaw was Wifi could have been a little better. Overall fantastic!
Our family had a wonderful stay in this sweet home by Mama’s beach. The location is perfect and we very much appreciated the well stocked kitchen, plenty of linens and towels, beach gear, great indoor and outdoor living spaces, comfy beds, and ease of communications. Thank you!
Loved the area with walking distance to a beautiful cove with crystal clear water, we even saw tons of sea turtles!! House was clean, beds were comfortable and there was everything available to head to the beach. My only one thing that needs improvement is the wi-fi we had a terrible time connecting to watch tv or get on our phones.
House was amazing and well equipped with everything you need and extra on vacation: beach chairs, snorkel gears and cooler. Very serene and close to the beach where my kids walk by themselves every day. One of the best VRBO places we stayed at. Plenty of room for my family to stretch out after a long day of excursions.
