Mauka Pines is one of the best stays we’ve ever experienced! In addition to the cabin being 100% gorgeous just like photos suggest, there are lovely additions and details that made it superb. For example, there’s a Berkey water filter in the kitchen (just like the one we use at home), a stainless steel French press for the coffee that is waiting for you, soft and generous linens, and bath products should you forget yours. Sarah and Spencer also provided us with beach towels, chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear, boogie boards and even a surf board so that we had everything we needed to enjoy the area! And as other guests mentioned, we were greeted with a bowl of fresh fruit and farm eggs from on the property upon arrival.
Three recommendations if you stay here: 1) schedule in time to sit on the deck and just enjoy the surroundings. It is SO peaceful. 2) make use of the huge soaking tub! 3) take a 5 minute walk down the hill for lunch or dinner at Teshima’s; delicious Japanese comfort food and the sweetest staff we met on the island.
I could go on. We will be back! Mauka Pines has our hearts!
