On the Edge of a Gulch, Privacy, Charm, Unique Style Cottage - Permitted

Maui County Rental permit - BBPH 2011/0001
TA-063-891-2512-01/ GE-063-891-2512-01
TMK-270360090000
Romantic, unique, charming coral rock cottage perched on the edge of Maliko Gulch. Swing in the hammock, or play tennis on the clay court. This is a property for nature lovers, romantics, and anybody looking for a quiet escape from reality. Wake up surrounded by plants and trees, and an endless blue sky. With lodging like this, why would anybody consider staying in a condo with thousands of other tourists?

The Iolani Guest cottage is fabulous for a Maui Honeymoon, quiet escape, or anybody that would enjoy a quiet Maui vacation rental cottage.

The property occupies a large two acre parcel of land, in the lowest section of Haiku (out of the rain band) and just a couple of minutes from Hookipa Beach. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with hundreds of trees and plants. A clay tennis court is available for guest use.

The cottage sits to the side of the property, with its own garden and lawn. It has a wonderful, tropical garden view, and looks into the edge of the gulch. The cottage has coral rock exterior walls and a patio with teak outdoor dining furniture, gas grill and sun loungers. The interior has a custom kitchen (granite counters, top quality appliances including a sub-zero fridge), living area which opens to the deck, two bedrooms (each with king bed), and a custom, tiled bathroom. Other amenities include telephone, TV, DVD, stereo, laundry, WiFi. This is the perfect cottage for guests wanting a reasonable price, but an upscale interior. One of the best features - a unique, coral rock outdoor shower, fabulous to rinse off when you come home from the beach covered in sand.

Perfect cottage in Maui

We had a wonderful stay for our family of four. The cottage had everything we could need and the location was central to all the various activities on the island. There were beaches and restaurants within a 10 min drive. The interaction with the management company was easy and they provided a lot of useful information.

Secluded Peaceful Cottage

Iolani Cottage was perfect! It was so secluded and peaceful. The property is at the end of a dead end road, so there was no traffic. Although there are three homes on the property, we didn’t see or hear anyone while we were there. The cottage was just as pictured. It was so nice to sit out on the porch in the mornings and evenings. We are already looking forward to coming back again!

Enjoyable stay at lolani Cottage

Our family of four enjoyed the stay at this well-equipped cottage. The home is in a quiet neighborhood away from hotel/resort scene yet close to restaurants and shops in Paia and Haiku. Great beaches are just minutes away. The outdoor shower was a family favorite.

Cottage in Haiku

We loved our little cottage. The location is the best. The property is top notch. We had an issue with the coffee maker and management had a brand new one on our doorstop that same day. Would recommend this place to all our friends.

Really Sweet Spot

We were lucky be lulled by a few nights of rain accompanied by the sweet songs of the birds and singing night creatures in the gulch. Really sweet little spot for a north shore stay. We were very grateful to be there, thank you for having us.

Haiku cottage

We had the best time during our 2 week plus stay at this property. It was a quiet little sanctuary to come home to after being at the beach or exploring the island all day. The property had everything we needed, plus some, and the manager was very responsive as well. It is a little further away from some areas but that is what we wanted(to not feel like tourists!). The only bad part was having to leave:(

Peaceful and beautiful property

We stayed for our wedding with a couple of our closest friends. The property is secure, safe and beautiful! The cottage has no AC but has fans which was nice. The outdoor shower is great we used it daily to rinse off. The bathroom shower drained very slow so we used the outdoor shower mostly! It’s super private. The entire check in and out process was easy. This property is further away from Most things so a rental car was a must: we mostly left the property for the days and spent the evenings there. We would stay again!

Can’t wait to go back!

We absolutely loved this cottage! It’s located just a few minutes from the beach and downtown Paia, but it’s so peaceful and quiet that you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere! We loved everything about this house! It was the perfect size for our family, has tons of outdoor space, comfy beds, and the amenities you want/need on a long Hawaii vacation. Also loved the outdoor shower and spacious lanai. Be back soon!!!

Unique, comfortable & easy

This truly is a great location. Just off the beaten path but still a VERY convenient location for exploring any part of the island by car. We especially loved the outdoor shower, the sunset views, the quiet starry nights with a symphony of chirping crickets and frogs. The neighborhood streets are great for evening walks and morning jogs. My only feedback (minor) is that the kitchen knives are almost unusable, they need sharpening.

Just the kind of beautiful, quiet experience we were looking for

Arriving late at night is a challenge in that it is dark and unfamiliar, etc., But when the sun rises, what a paradise. The grounds of the estate are wonderful! The guest house is situated such that you don't feel as though you're in someone's back yard. The tennis court is a wonderful perk. The town of Ha'iku is close by. It has a great grocery store, some good food trucks, and a quality restaurant. Mama's Fish House is close by, but the meals we made at the guest house were just as memorable for us. The house, itself, was very tidy with high end finishes, appliances, and kitchen items. Virtually no bugs barring a few spiders outside. Wonderful birds in the morning! We spent the last two nights in Kaanapali, and missed this guest house the whole time. This is far.more our speed, and if we return to Maui, will only stay here!

Loved it! Away from all the hustle and bustle of Maui, yet a short drive to all destinations. We loved it. The only issue we had is that there was just one bathroom, but we knew that a head of time. Beautiful views, peaceful, and quiet.

This place is charming!

This cottage was sweet. We fell in love with it as soon as we arrived. It is on a beautiful, gated private estate and is very quiet (which is what we wanted!). And we were so glad that we stayed on the North Shore - away from all the southern tourist destinations. We traveled around the island during our 2-week stay and there was no place better to call home than this cottage in Haiku. The cottage has all the amenities you would need and a clay tennis court on the property. It is ideal for small families and is superbly located close Paia beaches, markets, etc. Of note: if you go to Paia beaches or even south of the island, you go the opposite way of "Road To Hana" traffic, so traffic is never an issue. Baby Beach rules if you have toddlers or younger. While we have a little one, we are already considering another visit to this same location next year. It was awesome and we had sun every day of our two week trip. Mahalo!
