Cute, Private & Tranquil Hideaway, Ocean Views. Near Hana Hwy. A/C.

A peaceful getaway in the Maui countryside. Areca Suite is the perfect place to relax, unwind & enjoy the ocean view & tropical setting in your own private 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment with coastal ocean views from the lanai, living / dining room and both bedrooms. The apartment is isolated & safely distanced from the floor above where quiet hosts Robert & Stephanie live. You will have your own private entrance & adjacent parking area, private ocean view lanai & exclusive use of the entire ground floor apartment. Very private; there is no space shared with any other unit.

Areca Suite is ideal for a quiet vacation getaway, honeymoon or your home-base to take advantage of many nearby activities. A peaceful, clean, getaway perfectly located in the bucolic Maui countryside away from the crowds. You’ll experience the sounds of wind in the trees, tropical birdsong and native wildlife including laughing geckos and chuckling chickens. Enjoy the clear skies; sun, rainbows and showers by day, stars, moon and milky way by night.

We're located near the start of "The Road to Hana" for you to explore beautiful Maui. We're also within an easy drive of Haleakala Crater for another great day trip, sunrise or sunset. A great location for hiking, waterfalls, beaches, shopping and restaurants in Haiku, Pa'ia and Makawao and so much more....

The ground floor Areca Suite apartment is approximately 1000 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living/dining room, kitchenette (not stove/oven), washer / dryer and spacious lanai (patio). There's a dedicated workspace desk, with a view of the ocean, if you're working remotely or need to catch up on email.

Lanai: There's a lanai for your private use with coastal ocean views and dining seating for four guests, plus some comfy chairs. Propane grill and also beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards are located on the lanai.

Bedrooms: Bedroom 1 has a king bed, bedroom 2 has a queen bed. Both bedrooms have a/c, ceiling fan, dresser, bedside tables, hanging closet, luggage rack, bathrobes and slippers. Bedroom 1 also has a 32" TV with internet access for you to use your own account, Netflix, Hulu etc. In addition, a queen-size memory foam sleeper sofa in the living room offers an alternative for guests 3 and 4.

Kitchenette: Has the essentials, fridge/freezer, coffee maker, kettle, steamer, blender, toaster, microwave, single electric hotplate plus all dishes and utensils. There's a a propane BBQ grill on the lanai solely for your use. Ideal for guests doing a little light cooking and take out, rather than preparing large meals (there is no stove/oven). If you prefer a full kitchen please see our other VRBO listing at Tranquil Palms, Palm Cottage. In the VRBO search bar type in 1426728 and you'll find it.

We are located on 2-acres in a serene setting. Feel free to pick ripe fruit in season for breakfast or a snack.

Location: Areca Suite 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 are 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 Central - South beaches of Kihei they are just a short 30-minute drive away. Jaws Country Store is 2-minutes away which has handy items and 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. Twin falls is a short distance away, also Na ili ili-haele Stream & Waterfalla nd 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 for that once in a lifetime experience.

Whatever you choose to do throughout the day, you can relax on your lanai (deck) for a peaceful evening.

Clean property with overly kind breakfast & snacks added when checking in. The rules felt a little daunting & we felt like we needed to be very cautious with everything we did, so that made the stay feel a little stressful.

Wonderful gem on the north shore
Robert was super communicative and easy to work with, and the place is gorgeous and was perfect as a home base for our adventures. It's a refreshing and relaxing spot that really allowed us to just soak in the Maui experience!

Absolutely perfect!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I loved everything about this place! Such an awesome location with the most quiet, serene, and lovely grounds! The owners have done a fantastic job of making sure the unit has absolutely everything you could begin to need plus some. They provided food goodies were such an added bonus, and so appreciated. This would absolutely be the first place I choose to stay if I ever come back ♥️

Robert and Stephanie have a wonderful rental that I would recommend to anyone looking for a unique stay. The property is beautiful, with ocean and sunset views, fruit trees, and a quiet, relaxing air. The interior was spotless. The AC wasn't needed at all with the airflow from the windows and fans. I also truly appreciated the starter kit of breakfast foods that saved me a trip to the grocery when I arrived and just wanted to settle in. The communication was fast between me and the hosts, and I had no issues during the stay. They were very quiet above me. If/when I return to Maui this will be the first place I look for vacancy! It's located in such a great spot that everything seems accessible within 15 minutes whether it's beaches, food trucks, zip lining, etc.

Fit our needs
Areca Suite worked well for our first 5 days of a 14 day trip to three total islands. We wanted to see a lot of Maui and the location was perfectly placed for all our adventures to Haleakala for sunrise, the Road to Hana, Molikini Crater, west shore beaches, and Iao State Monument. We also discovered Baked on Maui just 2 miles away.

Little paradise in Maui
If you are looking for a quiet stay in the middle of nature and want to enjoy a magnificent view, this is it. Plenty of room for 2 couples… If you want to discover the island, especially Hana , this is a good base.

Fantastic Experience!
From the moment the suite was booked to the day we left, the communication with the hosts was superb! This suite exceeded my expectations! The host thought of every little detail to make our stay great! The suite was very clean, comfortable and inviting. The host provided a binder of "how to" instructions for the AC, TV, appliances and a variety of local and island attractions and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property and we've already decided we will be returning!! Thanks Robert and Stephanie for providing such an excellent experience!!
