We had such an amazing stay at Kelly & Shawn’s beach cottage. So close to town and the beach. The home had everything we needed. They provide all of the beach gear you need. We love Paia so much and can’t wait to return and stay here again.
Great location for travelers who want to be near Paia. Very comfortable property.
We used this as home base while we explored the North side of Maui . Paia is a gem of a city and we love the many restaurants so near by . Might consider new bedding , but otherwise everything was great
We loved our stay at Kuau ko - it was the perfect spot to come back to after adventures around Maui. Shawn and Kelly couldn't have been more hospitable and friendly. The house is really clean and well designed to accommodate us for our week there. Loved cooking in the great kitchen. Loved it!
It was just great!
Thank you to Kelly, she cooks the best Pupu!!!
Central to do all different activities
Kelly had nice suggestions and was so welcoming!

Thank you Kelly and Shawn - your house was the best and you both, hands down, are the most welcoming holiday rental hosts we have ever met.
If you are looking for a modern, well equipped house in a calm and relaxed part of Maui then Kuau Ko is the place. As a family of 4 - with 2 teenaged boys - the house had plenty of space, was close to great restaurants and perfectly located for easy access to everything that made for a very memorable holiday in Hawaii.
The cottage was perfect. Airy and light. Clean. Well stocked with everything you might need for the beach. The location was a perfect jumping off point for Hana, the crater, and all the great beaches near Pa'ia. We loved being in a neighborhood as opposed to a row of condos. The property manager was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
The house was clean and well organized, stocked with things we needed. She even had a first aide kit that I’ve never seen in any other airbnb I’ve been to. I actually had to use it so it saved us a trip to the pharmacy. This location was quite convenient, too. Kelly was very accommodating and responsive. She’s also pleasant to talk to. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property, Very noisy location
This is a very candid review substantiated with photographs. We had hopes for a relaxing, peaceful location.
Pros: Proximity to Paia, beaches.
Beautiful structure!
Cons: Very noisy!
Gravel driveways for multiple properties
immediately abut the front and rear of rental.
Vehicles in and out during night.
Small dog at neighbors directly adjacent to
property yapped the entire stay. Renter in front
unit chirped car alarm nightly when returning
(once at 3:00 am).
The smaller rental in front is very close.
Their lights shine directly into this unit. There are
no window coverings on this unit in the
sitting/kitchen area, so there is no privacy due to
the front rental unit looking directly in. The front
unit does have a pull down shade covering on the
exterior windows.
Smoke detector/alarm was taped up with black
duct tape in bedroom. (?)
On the last day when I retrieved an item dropped
behind the bed, discovered someone's eye
blinders, a used foam earplug, nasty dust/hair
on the floor under the mattress which was on a
wood slat frame.
*** Photo's were taken of smoke detector concern,
items/dirt under bed, lights from adjacent
residence shining into unit.
This cottage is perfectly located -- tucked back from the road, but only 4 block walk to the beach and a 1-mile walk into town. Plenty of beach provisions are provided, and the bedroom layout is perfect for some privacy.

Misleading photos regarding location
We paid a premium to stay here based on the awesome photos. The house in general is nice but needs an interior paint job, the two bedrooms are small and do not have closets, the small armoire’s are too small for two adults. The photos of the house leads you to believe it is a quaint location with lots of privacy, this is not the case. It is on a very busy highway and the house is just one amongst a cluster of houses, all of which are very close together. Walk out your front door and there is another house 20 feet in front of you, the tiny back yard is where the shared laundry is, the plants in the backyard are a mess, with dead foliage and garbage littered around. The house to your right is being renovated, behind you is a new construction happening but only in the evenings. Paia town is very busy and has lots of homeless people on the street and in their ‘tent city’, derelict and abandoned vehicles are all over the island, lots have been burned out and they just leave them there on the shoulder of the road. Many locals are not friendly to tourist.
We had a great experience in Paia at this cute bungalow. Owners were helpful and responsive, very personable. The home had everything we needed, super comfortable and cozy. Close to town and beaches. Would love to stay again.
Nice, quiet and quaint spot, out of the touristy areas. Convenient location to many things and nearby towns. Window coverings in the common areas would help keep the place cooler during the day when visitors are away and the house is closed up. The bedroom AC units had a hard time keeping up, but according to the news, the island had record highs during our stay. Appreciated the pitcher of cold filtered water in the fridge!
Location away from touristy areas; yet close to local hotspots
Our family loved this perfect home. The hosts provided all amenities, plus short drive to great beaches, restaurants, and local organic food market- can’t beat it!
Hope to do it again next year!
We had such a great experience staying here! We traveled with our young children and there were plenty of beach gear and sand toys and kids fins. The owner was so pleasant to communicate with. Everything was clean and tidy. All the essentials were there including shampoo, conditioner, towels, paper towels, utensils, pots, pans, and even condiments of all sorts to use with our cooking. We especially loved the floor plan with the two bedrooms on either side of the house. It felt very private. And the huge porch was so nice to just sit on it there was an early morning drizzle and have a cup of coffee. We loved the easy access off Hana Hwy. We could easily get to all locations, and shops. We will certainly be back in the future!
My husband and I stayed at this home for a week-long Maui vacation in celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary. It is the best maintained VRBO home we've ever stayed in. Everything the description listed was provided, and more. Although it is close to other houses, it is private and quiet, though you will naturally will hear the constant North Shore wind blowing through the landscape, and birds.
Before we arrived, we received prompt, accurate answers to our detailed questions formulated while packing for the trip. Upon arrival, we were greeted by owner Shawn, who has deep roots in the area, and he briefed us about the house and gave us the lowdown on where to get the best local food (including the freshest fish) and groceries, and advice on getting to the closest beaches. He answered texts when we had questions, but otherwise left us alone as we preferred.
This location was great for driving forays all around the island and sampling great Maui restaurants. The home was also stocked with the equipment we needed for cooking and grilling our own food, spending days on the beaches, watching the smart TV, and just hanging out comfortably.
Mahalo Shawn and Kelly for providing this home base in paradise for our relaxation.
Paia is one of our favorite places and this location is an excellent stepping stone to so many places. Our hosts were quick to respond to questions and very helpful being close by.
Fabulous home in Lahaina. The home was spacious, clean and updated. The porch was fun!
Shawn is an excellent host. Home was appointed with every possible amenity including a washer and dryer. We really enjoyed our visit and recommend this place.
We had an excellent stay at Kelly and Shawn's beautiful spot! Everything was as advertised except they didn't mention being treated to beautiful birdsong in the morning. :) We wanted for nothing and the one time we needed something they were quick to respond. It's located super close to Paia and we felt more like a local staying here than elsewhere on the island. Highly recommend!!
