Hana Bay Hale

Literally on Hâna Bay

Hale Hâna Bay sits on a low bluff directly on Hâna Bay. As a matter of fact, peeking through an opening in the trees, you can see the tip of the pier at Hâna Bay from the back lanai.

This property is offered by Hâna Maui Travel, which is the same company that we rented Koali Ranch Cottage (a separate tip) from last year. Both times have been an ease dealing with them.

This old house sits within a residential area that has mostly been converted to rentals of one sort or another. Houses, cottages, or condos, there are plenty to choose from in this locale. There's even a motel-like house with private rooms and private or shared baths called "Joe's Place" (a separate tip).

There is no air conditioning here. The tradewinds keep it cool enough. But if you live in a northern region and find that 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit to be too hot, you may find it a little uncomfortable staying here.

Unique Quality: We loved the location of this house. We loved the look and feel of this elevated frame house and all the assocciated squeaks it brings. We loved the cool ocean breeze that swepth softly and smoothly through. We loved the view of Hâna Bay and of the sunrises from the back lanai. We loved the large picture window with the view of the backyard and Bay. We loved the fact that we were within easy walking distance to Hasegawa's and Hâna Bay.

However, there was one overriding aspect that was really annoying: the ants.

With the slightest drop of sweet liquid on the counter or sprinkling of crumbs, a line of ants seemed to come out to investigate. Because of this, we had to keep all foods in the refrigerator, whether they required refrigeration or not. That was one place those pesky critters did not venture.
