We loved Pineapple Cottage. We are two type A personalty clean freaks and were in awe on how clean the entire house inside and out were. Steve and Ivy are very welcoming and have everything you need. They left fruit, snacks, chocolate, coffee and wine for us. Ivy’s banana bread with our morning coffee was the best way to start our day. We highly recommend Pineapple Cottage for a peaceful Hawaiian vacation.
The Pineapple Cottage is a well-appointed and peaceful place to stay with a lanai looking out into lush greenery and the ocean in the distance. Steve and Ivy were welcoming and available as needed. The location is away from the touristy areas and not far from great beaches. Mahalo for a great stay!
The cottage is situated on beautiful grounds in the quiet country side of Haiku with Hookipa and Paia a short drive away. The deck was just the most beautiful and peaceful place to relax. It had a view of the ocean and was situated right on the edge a beautiful ravine filled with native plants and trees with a stream running through the bottom. While the stream was barely visible through the trees, the sound of the rushing water was very nice. While too steep to climb down, the ravine opened up a great vista of the natural world. A variety of plants and a banana tree formed a natural barrier between the yard and the ravine. The hosts live on the property farther down the large property and were readily available if needed but totally unobtrusive. It was obvious they take great care and pride in their property.
Pineapple Cottage is probably the loveliest property we've ever rented. Ivy and Steve were friendly and accommodating but not intrusive, and the location was perfect for exploring places like Haleakala and the road to Hana. Haiku is a great town with friendly nontouristy restaurants and a market that served us well. The cottage is lovingly cared for and the view from the lanai is better than in the pictures. We wanted to take a gecko or two home but left them to greet the next guests!
The Pinnapple Cottage is a special place with very special hosts. Ivy and Steve were awesome hosts with an awesome, impeccable, pristine property .We were treated like family . From homemade treats made by Ivy and special wine and goodies left for us , to the special recommendations by Steve , and the beautiful island art created by Ivy on every wall, it all filled our body and spirit. From the moments we entered the long tropical driveway we both felt an immediate sense of beauty and peace . Having stayed a month we had everything we could possibly need and more for us and our grown kids and grandaughter,. We had beach towels, chairs, boogie boards, toys and much personal attention from the whole Nikens family including their sweet animal members , as well as many recommendation for outings, endeavors and eats. We made fresh juice from the oranges and grapefruits picked by Ivy and Steve , and watched with joy as our grandaughter picked fresh bananas outside the Lanai. We spent much time on the lanai over looking the creek which had lots of water and gorgeous trees with sunsets . We had many evening dinners outside on the lanai with the sky filled with very bright stars . We enjoyed many beaches , waterfalls and upcountry outings and hikes. This location alllows for so much diversity of endeavors and retreat .There is so much more we could say but we shall keep our stories close to our hearts and plan to come back again.. Mahalo to Ivy and Steve
Thank you Steve and Ivy for hosting us for another wonderful Maui vacation! Everything was lovely and comfortable! We will be back again next year.
An ideal location for a family stay. Felt like staying at a family cottage. Everything you could need/want was available, property was gorgeous and comfortable, and hosts we're exceptionally welcoming. We loved it.

Everything was perfect. Steve and Ivy are great hosts! We had so much fun with Mia and Odi their dogs and meeting the Aussie puppy.
So clean, organized, tastefully and thoughtfully furnished. Kitchen dishes and other supplies had the host's thoughtful touch. Bed was comfortable. Great breeze for sleeping. The porch is magical, private and the birds, sounds of the trees and stream and there is even a view of the ocean. We hope to return for another stay.
Thank you Steve and Ivy! We absolutely loved the pineapple cottage everything was wonderful and better than we expected. We will look forward to visiting again ❤️ — The Strongs
We loved our time at the Pineapple Cottage! Steve & Ivy were awesome hosts, and our kids loved playing with their dogs. The house has great views, and waking up to the sound of the stream in the gulch below was so great. Haiku is lovely and off the beaten path. We'll definitely be staying here when we're in Maui next.
