Unwind in our charming 600 sq ft studio on a tranquil 12-acre organic hobby fruit farm. Enjoy stunning views, privacy, and easy access to nearby beaches, dining, and the airport. Ideal for couples, solo travelers, business professionals, and families seeking a cozy and peaceful getaway.

Our clean, well-maintained studio features brick and stucco walls, tile floors, and high-beam ceilings. Open the sliding doors to step into our expansive grounds, where nature thrives. On the ocean side, a 50-acre forest provides seclusion, while a seasonal stream flows through a gulch from Haleakala to the ocean near Jaws, one of the world’s premier surfing spots. Neighboring properties are equally tranquil, and quiet East Kuiaha Road ensures peace.

Note: We embrace wildlife and insects as vital to our ecosystem. While we strive to keep them out of the studio, you may encounter geckos or other critters. We minimize their presence in the studio but cannot eliminate them entirely. For a manicured, pest-controlled environment, consider a South Shore resort.


The Neighborhood

Despite its secluded setting, Mana Aina is just a 6-minute drive from excellent restaurants and grocery stores.

Don’t miss Ahonui Plant-Based Cafe’s food truck at 111 Stable Road, Paia.

Guest Interaction

We respect your privacy but are delighted to recommend Maui’s best spots or share local insights. As an artist and art representative, I can share my abstract art website upon request (VRBO restricts sharing personal info here).


Booking Tips

Due to Maui’s housing shortage, secure your vacation rental before booking flights, as accommodations are harder to find than airfare. Our pricing is fair, regularly updated to reflect market conditions, and applies equally to all guests. Discounts are not available.

We look forward to welcoming you to Mana Aina for a peaceful, unforgettable Maui experience!
