Why Choose a Vacation Rental on Maui’s Northshore?
Maui is known for its resort areas like Wailea and Kaanapali, but those who choose the Northshore often want something different — a chance to unplug, connect with the land, and enjoy the local lifestyle. Haiku provides that, offering tropical rainforests, wide-open acreage, and proximity to the island’s best surf breaks like Ho’okipa Beach and Jaws (Pe’ahi).
