Private, Serene & Cute Cottage. Ocean Views & A/C. Near Hana Hwy.

Relax & enjoy the peace & quiet, coastal ocean views, lush tropical setting & complete privacy at your modern cottage with private lanai.

Palm Cottage is ideal for a quiet vacation, honeymoon or just a peaceful getaway. Come to quiet, rural Maui to get away from the crowds; yet only a few minutes drive from shops, restaurants & beaches. Our lovely 2-acre property, with seasonal fruit for you to enjoy, is all about peace, quiet & tranquil serenity. Fully licensed & permitted as a B&B.

Palm Cottage is a spacious rental cottage with a large kitchen / dining area / living room open floor plan and plenty of room to spread out and relax. The two bedrooms are on either side of the bathroom to allow for privacy. There's a dedicated workspace desk if you are working remotely, or just need to catch up on email. Enjoy coastal ocean views from the living room, bedroom 1 and the lanai. Our lovely 2-acre property, with seasonal fruit for you to enjoy, is all about peace, quiet & tranquil serenity.

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 perfectly located near the start of "The Road to Hana" for you to explore beautiful Maui, and 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 full kitchen (fridge/freezer, electric range, sanitizing dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, kettle, all dishes and utensils) has everything you need to cook for meals in. There's a propane grill outside as well. The spacious great room with comfy seating and smart TV is open to the kitchen. Both bedrooms have air-conditioning. There are ceiling fans in all rooms for added breeze and a whole-house cooling fan. There is also a full-size Samsung washer/dryer for your private use.

Your private lanai is a perfect place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine or dinner while gazing across the lush setting to the ocean. Comfy dining seating for four is provided on the lanai. There is also a dining table for four inside should you choose.

Palm Cottage is located on 2 acres with numerous fruit trees for you to pick fruit (depending on what’s in-season). Citrus, Avocado, Lychee, Guava, Papaya, Bananas, Cherries and more besides.

Breakfast: We provide packaged snacks and breakfast food items for you to have a self-catered light-island breakfast at the time of your choosing. Tea and coffee are also provided. The above is meant as a starter supply of breakfast foods to get you going until your first grocery shopping trip. But let us know if you need restocking on any items.

Here are some reviews from our guests:

"We have absolutely loved our time here! Thank you so much for sharing the cottage with us! We are already wanting to come back for another visit."
(K & B, MN, USA)

"It is a magical little place... your work on the cottage to make it so wonderful is to be applauded. Everything is just top notch."
(J & K, WA, USA)

"We prefer the quiet beauty of the countryside. That is what the Oswald's place offered to us. A place to listen to the birds, watch the sunset, and just be."
J & C, AZ, USA

“Everything is wonderful here at the Cottage. We’ve been out every day except for yesterday when we had a delightful time staying in and relaxing. We became great friends with your cottage and wrote to our family and friends at home about it and you! Thanks for making our stay SO perfect.”
J & S, CA, USA

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.

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.

Perfect location
This house provided the perfect location for driving the road to Hana and making the trip to the top of Haleakala. We enjoyed pizza at Jaws (walkable), breakfast from Baked on Maui (in Haiku),Aloha 'Aina BBQ (food truck nearby), and the breakfast treats and snacks provided by the host. It was an easy drive from the airport too.

Quiet, relaxing, and well priced. My family greatly enjoyed our stay. Robert and Stephanie do an excellent job maintaining the property and making guests feel welcome. We loved the location close to the Hana Highway and other Maui attractions such as the upcountry, Haleakala, and the central valley. The cottage was quite spacious and had all the basic kitchen amenities. Highly recommend.

This was a great stay for us. Very quiet, peaceful property surrounded by lush vegetation and a view of the ocean. Comfortable seating and beds, and very clean. It was so nice to have a welcome package of coffee beans and snacks! Owners communicated flawlessly and were super helpful when we needed them. Really appreciated having beach equipment available, too. We will be back!

The perfect house for exploring the windward side of the island. We were grateful for the AC in the bedrooms so we could sleep easily at night after being out and about during the day’s humidity. We loved being right off the Hana highway and the easy access to a drive to Haleakala. Paia just down the road has lovely walkable beaches with visits from turtles in the early morning and afternoon. We also loved Jaws just 2 minutes walk from the house for early morning coffee, lunches and even pizza for dinner. We’d stay here again for sure.

Private cottage
After staying in resorts for 13 nights it was nice to stay in this cottage nestled in vegetation on the hillside overlooking the ocean. It was very quiet and we never even saw our hosts although they live on the property. They did respond promptly when we had a problem with a smoke detector. It was especially nice that there were lots of supplies of things you might need and everything was labeled so you didn't have to guess which switch turned on which light etc. I would recommend this cottage highly.

Wonderful & peaceful cottage in Paradise
We stayed at the Palm Cottage for 5 nights in February 2023. It was absolutely perfect, inside & outside. The cottage was very clean and well set up and the beds were very comfortable. Robert was very helpful when we had a question about the TV. There were snacks left for us and also breakfast to get started. The carport was convenient during some heavy downpours. We highly recommend the Palm Cottage for your next stay on Maui. It's just off the Hana Highway if you want to travel to Hana & it's also close to Paia, a great place to eat and shop. Excellent in every way!!

Peaceful and relaxed stay in Maui
Such a great stay and location. The property is comfortable and quiet. The location is close enough to Paia and Haiku and beaches on the north side of the island. Keep in mind the northern facing beaches are not calm in the winter, but great if you want to surf (or just watch). A bit further of a drive to get to the calmer winter beaches in Kihei and Wailea but not too bad a drive through the Central Valley of Maui. Everything you need for the beach is at the unit. We put the boogie boards, beach chairs, and umbrella in our car and brought them everywhere during the entire stay, and used them everyday. Never got to snorkel but there is plenty of gear provided for this too. Robert and Stephanie were gracious hosts. We met them at the beginning of the stay and never saw them again even though they were less than 100 yards away in their residence. They responded very fast to any questions on the Vrbo app. Palm Cottage is secluded and private but part of their large property with citrus and avocado trees galore. The timing wasn’t great for fresh picked produce but we would definitely make this a preferred location if we stay in this area of Maui again. Thanks to both of you (and Ellie) for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful and serene cottage on lush green and immaculate property. Far away from the crowds. This is the real old Maui as it should be experienced. The cottage is beautifully appointed, close to Haiku and the gateway to the Upcountry and Haleakala. Also minutes from Paia and the road to Hana.
