Island paradise

We don’t have enough good things to say about our stay here. The cottage overlooks the sea and is located in a private botanical garden. The cottage itself is light, airy and so well-appointed. You even have the option of an outdoor shower! Terry and Michael are wonderful hosts. I had a mad thought to make coconut bread while there and they kindly gave me some flour and baking powder to do it. We really can’t recommend this place enough. If we ever find ourselves once more travelling the Road to Hana, we’ll be back!

Beautiful garden and view!

It is hard for me to put in words how much I loved our stay. Terry is a wonderful host! My favorite part was exploring the gardens. I would love to have stayed longer!

Tropic Paradise

What an interesting and enjoyable space. Peaceful, private and beautiful! Everything you need from a small gas grill on the spectacular front porch to a fully equipped kitchen. Abundance of interesting decor inside and a literal flower, plant and tree garden outside. The ocean breeze, intermittent showers and ocean vistas rounded out a great stay. The hosts were readily available if needed, but scarce otherwise. Only 5 miles from Hana, but seemed like a different island. Highly recommended!

Pictures do not do it justice

Terry was an incredibly generous host. She welcomed us into her home which was absolute bliss. The garden setting is peaceful and my daughter absolutely adored the cat, dog, and chickens. We even had fresh eggs and herbs from the farm for breakfast. The spectacular ocean views were mesmerizing. Will definitely come back next time we are in Maui.
