The best insider tip was to attend the Maui Swap Meet in Kahalui on Saturday morning from 5:30am (I think) to noon. A great farmer's market as well as clothing, etc. at fantastic prices. We completely enjoyed the swimming pool - it was a great boon for the grandchildren. The view from the lanai (and master bedroom) is awesome, and I don't use that word often. A couple of suggestions: some paper products in the house would be welcome (toilet paper, kleenix, enough garbage bags for the week, paper towels, etc., Also the dishwashing soap was in great chuncks, we managed to break it up, but.... The house is beautiful and wonderfully equipped, we had a wonderful time. I would recommend it to any of my friends. Mahalo and Aloha

Description
Makani Akau sits at the end of a small lane way in a very quiet residential area in Paia town. Paia offers a variety of restaurants, as well as, several quaint shops and an excellent health food store. Paia Beach is a quick walk (less than ten minutes). more »
Baldwin Beach, Baby Beach and Spreckelsville beaches are a quick drive down the road. The swimming, snorkeling beaches of Kihei, Wailea and Makena are 30-45 minutes by car.
Makani Akau is a oceanfront property that sits on the east side of Paia, facing west towards the sunset. The setting is just stunning! Your first view upon entering the gate is looking through the glass door, across the entry area and patio to the ocean framed by palms and the sandy beaches of Paia, Baldwin and Spreckelsville. The property is fenced and lined with vegetation on both sides to provide ample privacy. Makani Akau is walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in Paia.
All rooms with the exception of the playroom and fourth bedroom face directly to the ocean! This home just completed a major remodel in early 2009, and has a lovely new interior, refinished swimming pool, new hot-tub, new landscaping, and a secured yard. The ground level has polished concrete floors to take advantage of the indoor/outdoor style of living. Large sliding doors can be folded back on both sides of the living area so that it seems that you are living outdoors.
Between the house and the ocean is a 50 foot lap pool . The views are incredible!
The ocean is rocky in front of the house, and therefore no ocean access from the property. The sandy beach of Paia Bay is within walking distance. Baldwin Beach is just a couple of minutes by car. THE POOL IS NOT FENCED, but has an electric pool cover that should be used when small children are staying at the house. .

Home was excellent and we would rent again. Please note that we ended rental on a sour note with a discussion with the cleaning service. I had arranged a late checkout (2pm) and the cleaning service showed up at noon. Knowing that I had requested the late checkout, I informed the service that we were scheduled to leave in about 2 hours. I said if they wanted to start, that was okay with us. After about an hour, the supervisorr appeared on site and advised that we needed to vacate at once to allow the cleaning people room to work. I doubt that you want the cleaning service to have this type of impact on your customers. It did not spoil what was otherwise a great week. Sincerely, Rob DeMartini

Our family had a wonderful time in the Makani Akau home. We really enjoyed the town of Paia and the accessibility to many attractions on Maui! We will rent this home again!
