Kula Jewel is truly a private house in otherwise very busy Maui. Staying in the upcountry was just what we needed. You are never very far from the touristy areas but most everything you need is right there in Kula. Pamela's recommendation on Kula Bistro was right on - we ate there twice. We also enjoyed the Kula Lodge and Sandalwoods which are very close to the house. Pamela made every effort to make our stay comfortable without being in our way. She is truly an amazing hostess and the best we have encountered in many years renting vacation homes. The fruit trees, pool and hot tub were nice bonuses to the overall property. Lots of amenities in the house and most every appliance you could want. One of our best trips to Maui.
