my husband and I had a great stay at the gingerbread Cottage. It was extremely clean and had almost everything we needed. the bed was super comfortable and we had access to a washing machine and dryer every single day at no additional charge. Eve was even kind enough to leave Tide Pods for us to do our laundry. The bathroom was super roomy and we had plenty of storage space for our belongings. There were plenty of pots pans dishes and goodies for us when we got there. I thought it was very kind that they left Maui macadamia nut cookies and Maui coffee for us at no additional charge because hotels would charge you an arm and a leg for those additional amenities. we were also provided with boogie boards and yoga mats as well as a beach umbrella which was awesome because many resorts or hotels charge fees for those things and we thought it was really cool that Eve provided it with no additional charge. the property is nice because we truly felt like we were living like the locals but because of our location we were still close enough to enjoy all of the touristy Maui activities without having to travel too far. The gingerbread Cottage is literally like living in a jungle and the property is just gorgeous. there are mosquitoes and cane spiders ( which are huge) but we never saw a spider in our room and as long as we remembered to put bug spray on we never dealt with any mosquito problems. whenever we needed anything from toilet paper to ear earplugs to printed out boarding passes for a boat that we signed up to go for a sail on, eve was right there..... always responding within minutes of us reaching out to her and always helping us out within the hour. She was truly a very attentive host. She also has the sweetest golden retriever puppy we really enjoyed loving on and a secret garden that's open to the public that my husband and I really enjoyed visiting which is a must see when you're there. there are only a few things worth mentioning that might be bothersome for some people depending on what you expect out of the accommodations and I will mention those here. first thing is the shower. Everything on Maui is expensive so everyone has energy-efficient everything. Therefore, the shower only heats up for a couple of minutes. Eve says in her welcome book that the hot water lasts for 6 minutes but it feels a little shorter than that. she also says it only takes 10 minutes to heat up again after it gets cold but that's not true either. It takes a lot longer than 10 minutes to heat up again. So if you're the type of person that wants to take a nice long hot shower or if you're a couple and you guys want to shower immediately after each other, thats not going to happen at this Cottage. If my husband and I didn't take a shower together, we had to put aside about an extra hour or hour and a half so we could both have hot showers before we headed out. next, We were on our honeymoon so we didn't need a TV. But we were informed there was a TV and while there was no cable there was a DVD player so we thought we could watch our movies. but when we got there, there was no TV or DVD player in the room. so there is NO tv whatsoever. people should also know that there is no air conditioning and while Makawao is usually 10 degrees cooler than the outer parts of the island because it's UpCountry, there were still nights that I woke up in a sweat because I was hot. We weren't miserable or anything but there were definitely some days that especially when trying to sleep it would have been nice to have access to air conditioning and not just a stand-up fan. the only other thing that might drive people a little nuts is the Roosters. Wherever you go on the island of Maui there are wild chickens and roosters everywhere. So there's tons of these feathery guys on Eves property as they are a farm. we truly loved our feathery friends and we truly felt we bonded with them and they really didn't bother us initially..... but after about day 6 or 7 of waking up to our favorite rooster doing his morning rooster call at 4 a.m. we we're starting to get a little Punchy because we were losing sleep. So we had to reach out to Eve and she was kind enough to give us earplugs which helped me a lot but didn't really help my husband. so anyone that would have a problem with a rooster call at 4 am, you should reach out to eve before you get there and let her know that you want her to lure those chickens and roosters to another part of the property before you get there. also it's a little hard to get a decent Wi-Fi signal out there. like I said, we were on our honeymoon so the things I mentioned in here were very minor for us and didnt bother us at all really.... but depending on what you're hoping to get out of your stay we thought we should mention them because technology and basic things like long hot showers are taken for granted and people may not realize how important it is to them until they don't have access to it. We really like to be detached from everyone and everything and we don't like to be doted on and we aren't Resort people, so the things I mentioned were fine for us but for people that are typically Resort people, it may be quite the adjustment. personally, we absolutely loved our stay and we're talking about trying...
