In a word - location. This is the property from which you can see it all and is your Gateway to Maui beaches, site seeing and adventure! The North Shore of Maui is arguably the best location on Maui, as it is much less crowded with a slew of world-class beaches and some of the best access to activities and destination spots in all of Hawaii. The North Shore of Maui also provides proximity to amazing sightseeing in Maui. Thanks to some well protected zoning, the North Shore has been well protected from the timeshares, hotels and motels of other parts of the island and has been well guarded from over development. In addition, the area is very centrally located, and due to the fact that the island is relatively small, it is also located within easy driving distance to the resort areas of Maui on the South and West side for those craving a day or two of the resort environment. The North Shore location benefits for visitors are numerous and guests can conveniently explore the natural sites and destinations of North Shore Beaches, access the adventure and exploration of the Hana Highway, as well as the sites of Upcountry Maui, such as the Makawao Forest Reserve and the galleries and shops of Makawao town itself. We also encourage taking a visit to the lavender farm, botanical gardens, and winery farther upcountry as well. The property is a great location to access the volcano and is about 10 minutes to the beach town dining, and nightlife of Paia, with great restaurants, art galleries, grocery, and shopping. If you want an authentic Maui vacation to escape the crowds but to still be within several minutes proximity to return to it all this is the right place for you. For travelers that want to be minutes to the shops and marquee dining this is the perfect locale. Now is your time to enjoy great beaches, hiking, bamboo forest and waterfall exploration, and experiencing nature first hand in this perfect spot. For those who want a more active or relaxed vacation this is certainly the right place to enjoy an authentic Maui vacation.
Baby Beach is protected from large surf and is the PERFECT place for kids (and adults too). It is located at the end of Kealakai Road in Spreckelsville, about 10-12 minutes from the house. Mama's Fish House http://www.mamasfishhouse.com is just a few miles away and around 8 minutes from the property. It is located in a private little cove just a few miles from the house. It can be on the more expensive side but it is easily the nicest restaurant on the island and Travel and Leisure Magazines 2nd best seafood restaurant in America. Colleen's at the Cannery http://colleensinhaiku.com is also close to the house and around 5-7 minutes and is a great place for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is more moderately priced with outstanding local ingredients and amazing fare.
The world famous Road to Hana begins just 3 miles from the house. It is a wonderful drive with access to a blacksand beach with caves and a blowhole (Wai'anapa'napa State Park) and the Seven Sacred Pools: (Kipahulu) and lots of waterfalls, and scenery along the way. You can view Diane Bryants website on the Road to Hana for more information here: http://www.roadtohana.info.
There is a Costco about 2 minutes from the airport in Kahalui. This is a great place to load up on groceries for your vacation. There is plenty of local produce and locally caught fish to choose from including an authentic poke bar with fresh tuna. This is a great place to stop for food and drinks as well as tickets to activities and excursions across the island including golf, spa days, zip lining, snorkel trips, dinner cruises, etc. all at 30-40% off the standard price.
