We loved staying at the Sky Studio during our week long visit to Maui. This was our second visit to the Island, and we found the studio stay to be superior and a better value than our stay at one of the resorts last time. I doubt you will find amenities like the studio offers at a resort: the private outdoor shower, your own private deck, parking just steps from your front door. It's a great value.
We loved having a quick and easy access (just a short drive down the hill) to our favorite south Maui beaches in Kihei, Wailea and Makena. We went snorkeling and swimming almost every morning and enjoyed relaxing on the deck back home almost every afternoon. Hutt and Gregg provided a set of beach chairs, an umbrella and cooler for trips to the beach (plus two nice big beach towels)--awesome. The location also has the same easy access to dining, either fancy upscale spots near the resorts in Wailea or more casual and fun spots in Kihei.
The design, furnishings and finishes inside the studio are new and very nice. The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen is not a full kitchen (no oven/range), but had everything we needed for coffee, breakfasts, snacks and making cocktails: full fridge and freezer, coffee making gear, counter space, kitchen tools and utensils, etc. The kitchen counter and counter stools also provide a nice workspace for using a laptop. The couch was a comfy place to relax and watch TV after dark. There was a sound bar we used to play music (bring a 3.5mm audio cable for your phone).
The studio opens to the deck through two large sliding glass doors, and there are sun-shading drapes inside and on the deck to provide shade. The yard and garden are beautiful. You'll see little geckos, and you'll see and hear birds. You can open up the studio to the outdoors and the sweeping view of the sea and the stars or button it up as cozy as you want, depending on your mood and the weather or time of day.
There were a few other folks staying in other units on the property part of the time we were there, but it was never noise and always felt very private.
Communication with our hosts was great.
