We had an OK experience at this property; it somewhat failed our expectations, which we have to admit were quite high based on the pictures/price. There were issues with the hot water for about two days which was an unpleasant disruption but they were taken care of eventually and we received a 5% discount as compensation. The pictures are quite representative of the property (the house itself) as well as the nature surrounding it. That part is absolutely beautiful, serene and relaxing, although it does come at a cost---there are more ants/bugs upcountry compared to parts of Maui that are closer to shore (we are Maui regulars). So that can be a nuisance for some. Perhaps the most unrepresentative part is the pool area. While indeed it exists, it is located directly in front of the main house which makes it a little bit uncomfortable to use---it appears to be designed for the main house (which itself has occupants) so it's not very welcoming for the cottage guests. Perhaps the manager/owner could do something to encourage cottage guests to use the facility. That issue aside, the sunbeds by the pool were quite run down so the pool area was not actually that usable. Improvements along that dimension, and especially including a larger number of sunbeds, would probably help and in fact make the pool area more welcoming to cottage guests.
