Activities
If you like to walk, try this 30 minutue hike: Go through old pineapple field roads next to the property to a horse pasture at the ocean's edge. Climb over an old barbed-wire fence and follow the path down to a beautiful rock beach to enjoy your own private cove. Or perhaps settling down on the bluff at the edge of the Pacific cliff with a good bottle of wine would be preferable.
Pole House private cove
For the serious hickers, sunrise lovers or explorers, we invite you to discover this magnificent gem that rose from the sea floor millions of years ago to create what the Magic Isle is today. As it stands proudly and dormant in the background, Maui's volcano is a stunning wonder and an ascent above clouds to enjoy during your stay.
Haleakala crater
If you have the yen to swim at the beach, just drive 10 minutes to the famous Ho'okipa Beach Park who once held the annual Aloha Classic international windsurfing competitions which still attracts surfers, windsurfers and kite surfers from around the world due to its irresistible conditions. Just enjoying the daily display of experts in their respected field is an experience in itself worth the drive.

If you keep going 5 more minutes and pass the lovely town of Pa'ia, you will come accross the beautiful Baldwin Beach Park which offers one of the nicest beaches on the island for its breathtaking colors, long daily walks and to challenge the boogie borders in you. Have small children? Just look for 'Baby beach' at the end of Baldwin beach with its calm and shallow waters protected by a reef 20 yards out.

One of two falls at Twin Falls
If the opportunity to swim in a pool beneath a waterfall offers more appeal to the adventurous in you, head toward Hana for about 10 minutes until you reach mile marker 2. Park and hike on up to Twin Falls through natural lush vegetations and man made forest path to discover some of nature's beauty.
Golf courses abound on Maui. The majority of the well-known courses are to be found at Wailea or at Ka'anapali, about an hour away. However, there are public courses in Kahului and Pukalani. The closest course to the house is at Maui Country Club in Sprecklesville, a private club that also has tennis courts. You would need to contact them directly to arrange a visit.
Mama's Fish House romantic setting
 Eating is a big pastime on Maui.
Mama's Fish House, rated the number one fish restaurant by US News and World Report, is just five miles away. It's a bit pricy but worth the experience as it offers one of the most unique setting you will ever encounter, having its own little private sandy beach cove.
Pa'ia has good restaurants aplenty.
Please make sure to enjoy Colleen's also, just along the road from where we are. They serve the best meals for your money.
