Ideal location for exploring the island. Close walk to everything in town and easy drive to Kahului and Kihei.
Lanai and backyard were awesome with many places to hang out and relax. Turtles off the beach daily.
Overall, a great spot for a large group!
Great location you can walk to everything in town, great food. Awesome views and sounds from the surf. House was a great fit for our needs and the loft space was a perk.
Had a big family and friends time there. Loved the walk to town location, the on the ocean roar of the waves, the fans and a/c though a/c was not needed. great kitchen. everything one needs, easy as peasy. fantastic vacation. thank you
Perfect location, house clean but a bit disappointing
After a two week stay here I can say the location is by far the best thing about it. Itâs right in the middle of town, on the ocean, and walkable to many shops and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked (one on the main level and one upstairs). There were plenty of bath towel and beach towels, but we were pretty upset there was not a single beach item in the house (beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, cooler, etc.). Communicating with the property manager was fairly easy and they did provide two of the things we asked for - a laundry basket (the W/D inside werenât working so we were using the one outside and thought it was very strange that there wasnât a basket), and a fan for the loft upstairsâŠthis was an extra sleeping area with a mattress in the floor that was quite hot as there wasnât AC up there. However when we asked about any beach items (chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards) they said they would check but didnât provide anything so we had to go to Costco and purchase every item ourselves. Weâve stayed in numerous beach houses and never been in one that didnât have a single beach item. We also were a bit disappointed that there werenât any curtains in the living spaces as there were two beach bungalows in very close proximity to the house which didnât allow for much privacy. The beds were also extremely uncomfortable which was also unexpected with the price of this rental. Overall, the location was great but we wouldnât stay here again.
Exceptional! Such a lovely home in heart of Paia. The location of this property is perfect ~ Walking distance of shops, beaches and restaurants while tucked away in a peaceful ocean front setting. The home was clean, very well equipped and the kitchen had everything we needed. Property management was phenomenal and made sure our stay was an incredible experience. We had beautiful ocean front views from the master and downstairs bedrooms. We loved returning from hiking and exploring all day to relax on the lanai and lower deck for the sunset. There were 6 of us in the home and we had space to spread out and enjoy our time together. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again in the future.
This is a really great house and location on Maui. The house is as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment. The grounds were really good. We could watch sea turtles playing in the waves every day. Mike, the property manager, was very responsive with the few minor issues we had. He stopped by several times to see how things were going. Chris, the cleaning manager, was always available to get us things like kleenex when we needed it. The house is large enough for at least 3 couples to be able to get together as well as get some privacy if needed. The beach equipment was great (towels and even a cooler with ice packs). We loved the house and the property. The location is perfect with lots of shops and great restaurants within walking distance in Paia. Overall, it is a spectacular property.
Our stay at Milo House was absolutely wonderful! The house had plenty of room for the 7 of us. We particularly loved the two lanais with beautiful views. We also really enjoyed the proximity to Paia and to the beach. We could walk to so many restaurants and shops within minutes and a swimmable beach was only a few minutes' walk away, as well. We all highly recommend Milo House and are already considering coming back!
A beautiful spot on the north coast of Maui in Paia. Well-appointed house (they even had tupperware for leftovers and a rice cooker, not things you always find) in a beautiful location. We really enjoyed our vacation!
This property was great for two families traveling together. There was ample space for us each to have a separate space, but all be together too. Great views from both the upstairs and downstairs facing the ocean. We loved listening to the waves and seeing the turtles in Paia Bay. Location was excellent and we loved being in the center of Paia. We had a wonderful stay.
You can't beat the view and privacy that this property offers. With four bedrooms and two kitchens, proximity to downtown Paia, proximity to the beach, this property is a great value. The property manager, Stacy, was super responsive and helpful leading up to and during our stay. Thank you for a memorable stay!
We loved our stay at the Milo house! As soon as we arrived the view took our breath away and we continued to enjoy it for sunrises, sunsets, and star gazing throughout our week at the house. Everything in the home was comfortable and well-suited for cooking and hanging out as a family, but we were also a few steps away from all the shops and restaurants of Paia, and a short walk away from a beautiful beach for swimming. Stacy and the other caretakers of the property were very friendly and easy to communicate with.
The property was great! It was well put together and the accessibility to the town was so convenient. The property was clean and all we needed was there. We had a great time and were very impressed. The inside of the Cottage was a little dated but was very clean and cozy. The only thing we had an issue with was the the propane bbq was not very good. It should be upgraded to a better one. Other than that it was great!!
The location was nice and close to shops and restaurants. The view from the deck was awesome. We needed a roasting pan and the manager bought one the next day. The only suggestion is that the owner could supply some basic spices for cooking. We cooked all our meals and had to purchase everything we needed. Prices at the Safeway and Walmart by the airport were better than the local market in town. We had a great time exploring Maui using Milo as our base and place to relax watching the waves and surfers after a long day.
Family of 12. Rented the big house and one cottage. Right on the ocean and landscaping was beautiful. Beach out front of property was rocky, but nice sandy beach with waves 2 houses over. The property manager, Stacey, was always available to help with questions. Highly recommend this property. We will return.
The Milo Cottage was the perfect for our group of four 50-something men who sought to avoid the crowds in places like Lahaina and Kihei. The four-bedroom and two-bath house is located in a private gated compound on the water. Believe me, the views and seclusion will not disappoint! While the main commercial thoroughfare of Hana Highway is literally behind the house, most of the urban noise (except for the occasional garbage trucks in the early morning!) is drowned out by the sound of the nearby ocean. The upper balcony. lower deck, and additional living room/kitchen offered alternative private retreats within the house. The main kitchen was appropriately stocked, so we could easily several meals during our nine-night stay. We made good use of the gas grill on the lower deck. There is a good coffeehouse (the modern "Better Things") and an excellent grocery store on Baldwin Ave. Decent stores aimed at tourists are also within walking distance. Paia Beach may be accessed by a short walk down Hana Highway, but we generally climbed to the seawall and carefully waded through a slippery tidepool via our the private oceanfront in the back. You can't swim behind the house, but you can admire the many swimming giant turtles in that area. The nearby beaches in Paia are never crowded, so we found ourselves taking a daily dip in the morning and afternoon. The only crowd we encountered at the beach was the drum circle at secret Beach one Friday night. Anyway, Paia served as a good launching point to Haleakaka, Hana, Iao Valley, Lahaina, and so on. It is much cooler in Paia in the summer than much if the rest of the island due to the tradewinds. We all really enjoyed the stay at the Milo Cottage and hope to be back in the near future.
Perfect location for the paia and baldwin beaches and walking to town. The house was a great size for two teenagers two 12 year olds and two adults. The views and lanai were fantastic and we simply loved staying here. Mahalo!
LOVED this property. Love the location. Everyone was super friendly. Close to cute little shops but feels a world away. We would totally stay there again!!!
Milo Cottage was clean, comfortable and quiet. There is easy access to nearby shopping, restaurants and beaches. We would recommend it highly and hope to return in the future.
Hard to imagine a better location for our Maui trip. The description was very accurate. In town, but yards from the ocean and a short distance to a very nice beach. Lots room for our group of 7. Was clean and stocked with just about everything we expected. We prepared most of our meals there and except for seasonings had everything we needed. The yard is beautiful and well maintained. The king bed was very comfortable, and I think everyone was fine with the others. The inside does show some wear, but it was a very small distraction.
Stacey was a pleasure to work with and helped us get everything situated for our large travel party of 8 adults, a 5yr old and an infant. The property was perfect and most mornings we sat out listening to the waves while drinking coffee. The double kitchen worked out wonderfully for us too- snacks and drinks downstairs and main food we did upstairs. There werenât any complaints from anyone!
The property is walking distance from a popular shaved ice front that is amazing! We definitely frequented that store just about every day of our trip. In addition the property is so close to the shops and restaurants of Paia, that you can walk everywhere you need to go. The beach, clothing stores, a little super market (with a ton of gluten free options if you need them)- if you need it Paia has it.
Being near the Hana Hwy also had its perks- its close to Twin Falls, and a few other Hana attractions. We also drove to Haleakala crater and saw the sunsetâ it was indescribable.
We were all so pleased with how our trip went and I even caught my dad looking at more flights to return! Mahalo Stacey for your help in booking the perfect family vacation!
This house could not have been more perfect. Itâs right off the main road in Paia so youâre just steps away from all the best shops and food. Plus you have the most amazing private beachfront - we saw and swam with turtles every day! Best kept secret about the house. Already thinking about when we can come back and stay again.
We so enjoyed our stay at Milo Cottage, especially after having postposed our trip one year due to Covid!! The house is beautiful and had plenty of room with my husband and myself staying downstairs and our sons and their wives upstairs. The view from both lanais was fantastic! We frequently walked into Paia to the little grocery store and enjoyed eating at Milagros and the Paia Fish Market. Watching the sea turtles so close to the property was amazing as well as going to the nearby sandy beach!
Thank you Stacy for allowing us to stay the extra hours!!

We went to Maui on our honeymoon and fell in love with the island. We lovingly built the home in Kihei on the south side and lived there off and on for 15 years while working. Now that we are retired we live on the north shore in Paia, next door to the rental cottages. We love sharing the tropical beauty and ambiance of Maui with others.
Why you should book one of these pieces of paradise? The views are incredible, on both sides of the island. Maui has been named the best island in the world several times by Condeâ Nast. You will enjoy your privacy, while being able to walk to nearby shops and restaurants.
