The Gingerbread House was the best place for two sisters to enjoy a wonderful Maui experience. The place was adorable, clean and comfortable, equipped with everything vacationers would need to feel right at home. The central location was perfect so that we could travel the entire island without too much drive time. Enjoying evening hot tub soaks was an added bonus. We appreciated the tips and local insights in the notebook provided and took full advantage of each recommendation. Host, Poni, checked in with us even though we already had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone who is comfortable with stairs and would definitely stay here again if visiting Maui in the future.

I love the north shore and always stay near Paia. This was my first time renting the Gingerbread House and I absolutely loved it! It was located perfectly between Paia and Ho'okipa Beach where my granddaughter surfs. It was spotless, well equipped and decorated with love. The upstairs bedroom was beautiful with a walkout onto the balcony lanai. The futon downstairs was made into a bed for my son. The kitchen had everything and the bathroom was gorgeous. Everything we needed was there. My son and I walked to nearby Ku'au Bay (5 minutes) and loved seeing the basking sea turtles. We ate dinner at Mama's Fish House (the best!) just a few minutes drive up Hana Highway. Paia is a short drive or 15 minute walk away. I would go back in a heartbeat and I would rent the Gingerbread House again. ##### Katherine S. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### carolyn s., Brookline Dec 18, 2018 #### Charming, comfortable house, well-located for adventures. My husband and I spent a delightful 4 nights at Gingerbread House. It's romantic, cute and cozy. The bathroom, located downstairs from the loft bedroom, has a luxurious open feel to it. We enjoyed the ocean breezes which waft through the large screened doors from the upper deck. It was great to be provided with everything we needed for a perfect beach day: chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella, towels, etc. The location is perfect for trips to the volcana and Hana highway. Just a few minor issues--the kitchen cooking supplies are in fair condition, making it difficult to cook a simple meal. The house is off the road and quiet, but there is a lot of traffic on the roads right around the house and it is not a particularly pleasant walk into Paia. ##### carolyn s. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Erin W. Jan 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great but a few notes! Overall we had a fantastic stay at the Gingerbread House. We loved Paia town and the surrounding areas. The house is clean, check in and communication was great, and the guidebook found in the house is so thoughtful-we used and loved all the recs and info! We also enjoyed the proximity to the Road to Hana, Haiku, and Makawao. Additionally, the house is easy to find and property and amenities like outdoor space and laundry were all great. Now a few things I wish I had known...The description is accurate in terms of distances, but this house is not really walkable to anything. The highway has no sidewalk and a super narrow shoulder, so this felt unsafe on the one walk we attempted. If you stay here, you'll definitely want a car even to make it to Paia or the closest beach. The other thing is that the bathroom is sunken down from the main level of the house and has a lot of slippery tile. Since this house has 3 levels, I would definitely not recommend it for anyone who struggles with balance or has mobility issues. Overall, the house is charming, but it is small and very open and the bathroom is dated and far from the main bedroom. We stayed with our 7-year-old (3 people total) and it felt very small. That said, if it is your goal to be out and explore, this is a good spot to land and is close to many awesome things. ##### Erin W. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian D.

You are close to Paia town, with lots of places to eat and shopping - and it is only about a 30 minute drive to Kihei/Wailea if you want to head over there. ##### Laura C.

Nov 27, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute, quirky, safe, and peaceful 🌺 Our family of three really enjoyed our quiet stay at the Gingerbread house. We're not resort types and we love the Paia area, so this place was right up our alley. The host communicated well on all fronts and now that we're home I really miss hearing the waves crash on the beach and send me to sleep each night! Here's my summary: The "goods" - \*clean \*safe \*comfortable \*charming \*quiet neighborhood \*great hosts \*awesome location for nearby explorations \*good outdoor spaces (ocean views in just the right places) \*BBQ was great \*loved doing yoga each morning on the deck The "could be improved" - \*windows/screens/AC made air circulation an art \*bathroom is outdated (but our daughter loved the tub) and could be really amazing given the space \*lighting upstairs is awkward/interesting 😜 \*not the most well appointed (good steak knives go a long way) The "can't be helped" - \*Family walks from this location just aren't safe. An adult couple could walk to nearby beaches using defensive walking skills, but we weren't about to do it as a family of three...which makes cocktail hour something we needed to be more aware of. The rate we paid was pretty high compared nearby rentals, they just weren't available at the time we made the reservation. A bag of local coffee and a small bowl of local fruit would go a long way considering this. We would rent the Gingerbread House again, but probably not at this rate. ##### BryAnna V.

Needs a little TLC This property is unique and quite private for the residential location. The lanai is DREAMY! Well equipped kitchen. Needs some attention to detail such as lightbulb replacements and window repair/replacement. Also the gutter above lanai doors needs replacing. Nice guidebook/recommendations left by owner. Also needs a bit of updating. I would give it 5 stars but fir these little details. Also, dangerous road entrance. A mirror would help. We turned right to go left. (Turn around at Ku'au Store or condos) Overall, fantastic property. Convenient to most of the Island as day trips. I would recommend. 😊 ##### Carla R.

Mar 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, adorable cottage The Gingerbread House was a great location very near Paia town for our family trip. The upstairs bedroom was great with direct outdoor lanai access. Quite relaxing to hear the nearby ocean waves. Downstairs the futon worked well for the kids, but would be a bit tighter with larger children. The kitchen and bath weren't "new" but were completely comfortable and functional. The lanai even felt fairly private, given the nearby Green Turtle rental and neighbors. The location gives quick access to Paia (walking distance if you're so inclined), several nearby beaches, and the perfect place to begin the Road to Hana. Overall, we had a great 3 days in the Gingerbread House and would recommend for a home base on the Paia side of the island. Mahalo! ##### Adam S.
