Romantic 2 King BR Cottage - Privacy, Ocean-View, Jacuzzi, Air, WiFi, Lux. Bath

This cottage was far beyond our expectations - the view is amazing, the accommodations are great, and Bev and David go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The house is neat and clean, the porch and hot tub were so fun, and Bev was easy to contact if we had any questions or needs. The location is great for the road to Hana and visiting Haleakala, several beach options are close by - it is near the town of Paia which has great restaurants and shopping, yet it's dark and quiet at night so you have an amazing view of the stars. We can't get back there soon enough!

We are sadly packing up to leave our wonderful 3-night stay at StarWind cottage. This lovely home, and especially the stellar hosts Bev and David, far exceeded all our expectations. I've never encountered such thoughtful attention to detail in any other vacation rental. Fresh fruit and flowers, so many healthy snacks and drinks, an abundance of beach towels and other beach chairs and equipment, guide books, bug spray, etc.... I couldn't begin to list all the special touches, but please know that they didn't go unnoticed. My son especially enjoyed the outdoor shower and the hot tub. We were planning a nice dinner last night at Mama's Fish House, which we love, but decided to stay in for the evening to enjoy even more of our time here in this beautiful, peaceful setting. We cannot wait to return!

My wife and I went on vacation with our newly married friends to Hawai'i and this island-style home is where we stayed for our last four nights in Maui. Nestled in a Jungle-like area off of the Road to Hana, this location proved to be the perfect balance of close to interesting things we wanted to do, and far enough away from it all to be a very relaxing getaway. The views off of the elevated deck are stunning and the sunsets are breathtaking against the backdrop of the rolling hills, lush forest, and tall peaks of mountains. One of the hosts met us as we arrived and made us feel right at home, showing us how to use the hot-tub, where towels and beach gear were located, and provided us with a helpful guide-book to the area of the island the house is located. We felt very welcomed to this home and felt that our privacy and enjoyment were top priorities of our hosts. While there is no central air, the window units in the bedrooms provided plenty of comfort for sleeping and the main living area with the fans on was pleasantly mild during the day. During our stay here, we had easy access to the Road to Hana (a full-day activity I highly recommend), the sunrise on the summit of Haleakala, as well as a short trip to the airport at Kahului, and a short drive to our snorkel charter in Maalaea Harbor. Overall I would highly recommend making this tropical, lush little hideout a home-base for any trip you plan to the island of Maui!

With splendid sweeping views and a beautifully appointed house, four of us enjoyed a relaxed and happy week on Maui. Our gracious hosts, Bev & David, were generous and most helpful with all aspects of our stay. The kitchen was well stocked, the fridge was full and there was an abundance of towels & linen. The spa on the deck added a touch of luxury and was welcome morning or night! Thank you Bev for the wonderful variety of fresh fruit, especially the sweet pineapples and bananas. Fond memories from your Australian visitors.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The sweeping 180 degree view of the valley and volcano crater is inspirational. The cottage is well designed so that the view is front and center from every room and we never grew tired of sitting in the hot tube and enjoying the exquisite view. The hosts, Bev and Dave, are just a phone call a way for any need, yet are respectful of their guests' privacy. The house is wonderfully equipped with everything one might need, including Kona coffee, snacks and fresh fruit. Bev has paid attention to ever detail in decorating and equipping the cottage. We look forward to returning to Maui and hope to stay longer at the cottage next trip.
