Location: Palm Cottage is a peaceful, rural location to get away from crowds and enjoy nearby waterfalls, hiking and communing with nature, but still close to shops and restaurants. We're about 10 minutes to the nearest beaches (Hookipa, Baldwin, Sprecklesville), great restaurants and 20 minutes from Costco, Walmart and Target in Kahului. If you prefer the South/Central beaches of Kihei they are just a short 30 minute drive away. Jaws Country Store is just 2-minutes from Palm Cottage that also serves to-go food and coffee/smoothies.
Nearby things to do: We’re located near the beginning of “The Road to Hana” and so there’s plenty to do right here. It's a beautiful tropical location, with lush greenery and flowers and impressive waterfalls close by. Twin falls is a short distance away, also Na ili ili-haele Stream & Waterfall and Waikamoi Nature Trailhead. The Gardens in Haiku are nearby and The Garden of Eden Arboretum is a short drive away. There’s great stores and galleries in Paia and Makawao (approx 6 miles each) or visit Haleakala Crater for that once in a lifetime experience.
Whatever you choose to do throughout the day, you can relax on your private lanai (deck) for a peaceful evening to end your day in total privacy.

Our stay on Maui was lovely at this home. Words don’t quite do it justice, but my dad said it was the best night of sleep he’s ever had. The hosts were so kind & made sure we were well taken care of with snacks & coffee. The amenities were great too, having a washer & dryer was so helpful, & we even found a cooler to use, which made packing lunch perfect for our day trip to the National Park. It’s not far from shopping, the beach, or the Road to Hana. I would truly give this place 10 stars if I could!

Quiet, private and everything I had hoped for. It had everything I needed and then some. Wonderful host. By no fault of their own, the internet was down and he communicated frequently about updates from the internet provider. I was lucky enough fo have a friendly visitor that, Robert tells me, is good luck!The only downside to this cottage, is that I had to leave! Highly recommend and would definitely come back.

Palm Cottage is an absolute gem! It’s wonderfully quiet and peaceful, tucked away from all the rush and busyness of the big resort areas, yet still close to everything Maui has to offer. The location makes it easy to enjoy the island’s amazing beaches, activities, and sights, while giving you the perfect retreat to relax and recharge at the end of the day. If you’re looking for comfort, serenity, and a spot that feels like your own private hideaway but with quick access to all the best of Maui, this is the place. Highly recommend!

All the 5 star reviews got it right! Wonderfully peaceful and the ideal location to explore the North Shoe, Paia, road to Hana etc. Just the re-charge we were hoping to get when we booked our stay. Quiet cottage surrounded by flora, swaying palms, etc. Loved our time, when we return to Maui we hope the Oswald’s are still renting, fantastic hosts!

Serenity and privacy in a beautiful place
Palm Cottage is perfect for an adult couple who value privacy and beautiful surroundings. It’s a country place, but not remote; local towns, the beach and the Haleakala summit are all reasonably close and gorgeous. Hosts have it well stocked and communicate effectively but not intrusively. Great stay!

Great North Shore location!
You can tell Robert and Stephanie take great pride in their VRBO and make sure their guests have a positive experience. This cottage is in a nice quiet neighborhood in Haiku with pretty landscaping and fruit trees abound. We enjoyed the lychee and grapefruit during our time. The kitchen is well stocked for any needs and they also leave some breakfast and snack items with coffee upon arrival. It’s a perfect home base to go exploring all the things to do on Maui, especially with The Road to Hana. There are air conditioning units in the bedrooms which are helpful on the hotter days. Otherwise there is a nice breeze that comes through windows and doors. We have stayed in other areas of Maui but feel a stay here provides a nice laid back experience from the hustle and bustle of the more tourist places. We also have a different perspective given our daughter lives in the area. You can’t go wrong staying at this nice cottage tucked into the beauty of Haiku.
