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.

Absolutely gorgeous and remote stay in rainforest

Sam and Mercury have curated a beautiful oasis in the Hāna rainforest region that anyone would be lucky to stay at. They are so welcoming to all guests and give you all the privacy during your stay but are there to help with anything you could possibly need. The accommodations are too beautiful for pictures and so serene and peaceful. It is a little slice of heaven. The location is also perfect for any adventures you want to go on in the Hāna region. We would happily stay here again in a heartbeat if we got the chance.

We loved staying on this beautiful property. The room had everything we needed and the deck was amazing. The views and property were beautiful. Communication with the owner was great and she was available if needed. The proximity to the national park was wonderful.

What a wonderful time we had!! Gorgeous location. While the deck is connected to Mercury’s home, the stay is super private. Sam and Mercury were generous and kind with provisions, local recommendations and fruit from their property. We were treated with a rainbow the first and last night of our stay! Loved all the critter noises (frogs, birds, etc), sleeping with the open air and waking up to the sunrise. Cooking on the outdoor kitchen was a dream. Great walking distance (1m) to a local farmstand with coffee, fresh fruit and baked treats. Perfect base camp for local trips to National Park, Hamoa Beach, and Black Sands.

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.

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!!

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.
