I really enjoyed my stay at Hula Hale. It was a cute, quiet studio with a great lush outdoor garden, patio area. I had a nice, hand-written note from Claire saying "aloha" and even inviting me to joint them for some fireworks on the Fourth. It made me feel very welcome and comfortable.

There were treats, chocolates and chips, on the kitchen counter upon my arrival, and also some delicious coffee to brew in the morning. Stevia sweetener and creamer too. A very nice touch.

I was happy to find some band-aids under the bathroom sink, as I ended up with multiple gashes on my foot after a surf session. (The coral was much sharper on Maui than where I surf on Oahu.) Those were helpful to have around. I was also glad they had the shampoo and conditioner bottles because it is such a pain to bring all of the 3oz liquids on-board the aircraft theses days. I got a small sunburn and was glad to use the after-sun Aloe gel that was in the bathroom too. All nice touches.

I loved going to "Baked on Maui" in the mornings for breakfast and coffee. It is just a short walk down the road and very convenient.

I would definitely stay at Hula Hale again and recommend it to anyone thinking about it.

Mahalo.
