Nov 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Finally found a great vacation rental 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. ##### Doug C.

May 30, 2018 #### Beautiful, peaceful, great location! Loved this slice of Paradise including Miss Kitty (neighbors social cat) who greeted us at our car before and after every adventure. We wanted to stay away from the sea of humanity this time and explore more of the interior of the island. The house was comfy and well equipped and placed us closer to Haleakala and the Lavendar Farm, as well as great eats in Haiku. Makawao is charming and has everything you need including a great market. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Linda I.

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. ##### Tarit T.

Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen K., Brandon, Manitoba, CANADA Feb 19, 2018 #### Home away from home! Our stay on Maui was great in big part because of our booking at Pookela Paradise. Mark was very easy to communicate with and provided a very nice place for us to stay. The house is well set up and has great views. It has all the things we needed and is in a perfect location as long as you have a car to get around the island. We were even able to store our bags on the last day so that we could take off for the day and not worry about what was in our car all day at the beach. Thanks, would love to stay here again another time. ##### Karen K. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah C. Apr 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Ample living space with a great view 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. ##### Sarah C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan M. May 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Pookela Paradise 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. ##### Susan M. Stayed 10 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory A., Dallas Jul 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location We wanted a central location to explore the whole island and this couldn’t have been better. It’s just around the corner from Makawao’s main drag, which is really convenient for restaurants etc., but it feels rural because of the property’s layout. And other than the far east and west sides of the island, we got to most places within 30 minutes drive. The property is well-kept, has all conveniences (with the notable exception of air conditioning) and was an excellent home base. I really loved having cool mountain evenings after hot summer days at sea level. It was an experience I wasn’t expecting to have on this trip! We traveled with our two kids (7 and 4) and they’re already asking when we can go back to the Hawaii house. Highly recommended! ##### Gregory A.
