Couples & Honeymooners. Privacy & Romance! 7 Sacred Pools

Ala Aina Ocean Vista is a unique, 100% solar-powered private ohana with front and back private entrances situated on a former banana plantation. Nestled in an exotic lush tropical setting, our accommodation promises peace and quiet and offers guests sweeping ocean vistas. Enjoy watching the ocean from your king-sized bed surrounded by windows overlooking tropical trees, Hawaiian flowers and rolling green lawns.

Our dwelling offers a fully-equipped outdoor efficiency kitchen on the large private deck. You can cook under the stars! There is an inside private bathroom with marble floors and tiled shower (roomy enough for two), as well as an outside bathtub and shower with lotus pond in your own little garden. Classic board games, Direct TV for those that want television.

We are just 2 miles from, 7 Sacred Pools, aka The Pools at Ohe'o or also called 'Ohe'o Gulch'. Additionally we are 10 miles (30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic) to the town of Hana, where the famous Hasegawa's General Store and the Hana Maui Resort are located.

We are only 30-40 minutes to Maui's black and red sand beaches. Waioka pond, known as 'Venus pools', are a short 20 minutes away and Alele Waterfall is just 2 minutes away.

The best part is we offer each and every guest a romantic and quiet accommodation experience.

Magical setting

A little work to get there but the setting and activities on this side of the island are fabulous and worth several days. Eating option are limited so need to pack in some groceries. Beautiful, relaxing setting!

Great place to relax in an out of the way location

The location is unique and worth the opportunity to be in nature with the ambiance to match it. The indoors is about the size of a standard hotel room. The outdoors is for cooking and relaxing with nice views and under the stars. We enjoyed our stay for the 2 nights we were there.

Wake up to amazing views

A beautiful property and welcoming host! We enjoyed waking up to a 180 degree of the ocean and beautiful surroundings. It was so peaceful and exactly what we were hoping for in a more relaxed vacation. We did not use the outdoor kitchen so cannot speak to preparing food at the unit attached to the host's house, but wanted to recommend planning ahead for meals given the more remote location (whether you're making yourself with the available camping stove or making a run into town). Tasty food trucks and restaurants in Hana (about a 30 minute drive) and very close to Haleakala National Park. Thank you Mercury and Sam for the delightful stay!

Perfect Getaway

First of all, Sam and Mercury were so friendly and accommodating. Their property is a gem in a reclusive spot that offered all of the privacy that we could have asked for. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for cooking meals. And as someone who cooks often, having sharpened knives is such a small detail that makes a world of difference, and these ladies did not disappoint. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful and serene home and property!!

We absolutely loved staying here at Mercury and Samadhi’s peaceful sanctuary. My husband and I stayed here in 2019, and fell in love with it then. It’s a wonderful place to relax and unwind from the craziness of life! Stunning sunrises and sunsets from their property! We highly recommend this VRBO!!

Paradise!

If you are a nature lover, this is the perfect location to unwind! The drive to the property is long, but the most amazing route I have ever driven. Waterfalls, rain forest, beaches, cliffs, ocean, coves, you name, you see it! The property is located in an area without high volume traffic so it’s very peaceful! You have the ocean in front of you and mountains behind you. It’s so relaxing and calm, just what we needed to give us a break from all the tourist action!

Camping Elevated

Property is as advertised. Outdoor kitchen was well stocked for a a “camp” kitchen. Property is lovely. Remote and Quiet. Owners very nice and helpful. Bring everything you need with you. The town is not that far in mileage, but it’s slow because of the winding road and the selection is minimal.

The property is even more beautiful than the pictures. Waking up to the magnificent view from bed each morning, and enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch was a perfect way to start each day of vacation. Sam & Mercury were wonderful hosts.

Beautiful property and unique place to stay!

Our stay was great! If you are planning on doing the road to Hana this is a great way to take your time doing it without having to drive so much on one day. We stayed a couple nights here and we're able to go to the national park and chill at the property one day and then do the road to Hana backwards on our way back to our other resort. The the property is beautiful and we really enjoyed the amazing sunset. Their is a little kitchen outside on the deck which made making our meals very fun. Mercury, the daughter, lives right next to where you stay. You're place is separate, but is connected to her house. She will be around, but gives you privacy and will just check in on you once or twice . She's very nice and a good host!

Pure paradise, and relaxation!

This place is an amazing place to stay ! The host was great. She wanted to greet us, even though we arrived late in the evening there was fresh fruit growing on the property we were allowed to eat and enjoy the space was clean and relaxing. I would recommend this to any couple trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts staying here was definitely paradise ! and I look forward to booking this location again!

Tropical Paradise

Our stay was magical! The Hana highway was unlike anything we’ve ever driven but we took our time and it was a beautiful and fun experience. Once we arrived we immediately relaxed. The property has amazing views, Mercury provided a list of fun things to do in the area and we were able to hit most of them during our stay. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and exploring. We also really loved making our meals in the outdoor kitchen.

Unforgettable

Nothing but peace and relaxation. Exactly what we were looking for. At first we wondered how it would be to work with the outdoor kitchen and eating space, but our first meal immediately dispelled any concern and we were thrilled with the arrangement (and the kitchen is very well-equipped). We walked to the fruit stand (much more than only fruit) about a mile away every day and Mercury has a great list of activity suggestions. We would revisit in a heartbeat.
