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.

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.

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.

Highly Recommended
The house was fantastic with glorious views and located in a quiet area. Its proximity to the heart of Makawao was an added bonus. The host was very professional, friendly, and very responsive to inquiries. The only constructive criticism I can offer is that the floors in the house should have been cleaned a bit better, especially for a property at this price point. Upon check-in, there was a bit of beach sand on the floors in the bathroom, kitchen, and sitting area. We quickly cleaned that up upon arrival, and otherwise, everything was wonderful. The host outsources the cleaning crews, so this certainly is not a reflection on him. He promotes this property so professionally and wants to provide a top-notch experience for his guests, I just feel that perhaps the cleaning service being used is not living up to his expectations. Overall, it was a fabulous experience, and we will definitely consider rebooking for a future visit to Maui!

Mark was a wonderful host and very responsive. It was centrally located for all we wanted to see., clean and plenty of room. Lots of extras such as beach chairs, etc. We wished there was a grill but the listing clearly stated there was not, we just missed it but was able to improvised. Highly recommend this property.

Pookela Paradise 1
Views, location and layout are fabulous. Great TV. Terrific cat. Mark, the owner is a delight. But there are some issues that must be noted and resolved. In all, the property's condition and upkeep are overstated in the ad. Here are the basics. One working smoke detector in the two-story structure. Three in a drawer, inoperable. One battery in that drawer that expired 8-2020. The other two detectors are dangling from the ceilings without batteries. First night I tried to make dinner and eb=very pot or pan I grabbed was greasy coming out of the drawers. Same with utensils. Someone needs to pay a lot better attention to details or drop the price by 50%. The cookware is clearly very old and unmatched, often with lids missing and/or Teflon peeling off the pots. Also, the ad should indicate that this is NOT a stand alone house. It's the upper story of a two level duplex and the owner lives below. Bottom line - either put some time and money back into this place to make it what the ad claims it is or change the ad to factually reflect what the renter is getting. Good experience with notable dissappointments in the property itself.
