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.

Peaceful mountain views
was a great place to come back and relax after our day of adventuring. Was centrally located to do all the things we wanted to do. The dinner table was spacious and we played board games there every night with the games we brought.

Fantastic stay
It was a fantastic stay here in Makawa. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Peaceful home in charming Makawao
We loved our 8 day stay in this house. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful and the home is in a lovely and private setting- close to many splendid day trips to Hana, Haleakala, a great beach in Paia and the awesome town of Paia itself. Staying in this Makawao home, we felt so much more like locals and less like tourists vs. the condo strip in Kihei. The owner was very accommodating when we needed an early check in. Our one recommendation would be to supply guests with basic amenities for the kitchen (salt, spices, sugar, paper towels, etc) and wash cloths for the bathroom. Also, the master bed is a bit bouncy and sinking and wasn't too comfortable. A new mattress would be ideal. I would still recommend this house with its spacious and simple feel. We had a magical time.

Rosemary & Paul P., Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Liked: Cleanliness
Dated but Cozy and Central to everything
The house in general was well located - central to everything. It was spacious, had beautiful views and equipped with everything one would need. We rated it 3-star only because it needed a good cleaning, there was no mention of additional units on the first floor with this unit up on the second floor and in general our good neighbors were loud at times. The furniture was well worn and some items need replacing - ice maker not working, microwave missing the glass turn table and cushions could use some minor stitching repair and cleaning. Further, our neighbors though very friendly, we’re pretty loud. From the immediate apartment below, the house on the same property and from across the road! Regardless, we did enjoy our stay as it was near everything we planned to do.
