My favorite things about my stay at Joel and Amy’s were the location—beautiful upcountry near coffee and awesome bakery!—the outdoor space and outdoor shower, and the hosts’ thoughtful communication, including local knowledge like which way the breezes blow for best airflow.
The interior of the house is clean and basic. It’s quite rainy in this area depending on the season so if you’re looking for a sunnier Maui, this may not be the place for you. As a woman traveling alone, I can say I felt very safe in the neighborhood and the space felt private even though it’s close to other structures.
