The Kula Jacaranda Studio on the slopes of Halelakala is a designer's dream created by a truly creative family. The space is modern, clean and contains everything you could possibly need for a stay in paradise with up-to-date appliances completing the list. Nothing has been overlooked for your comfort and convenience; you would never need to leave the place. You are greeted with small gifts and surrounded by the art of Curtis and Julia Cost - it is like having your own private gallery.
The view towards West Maui Mountains and Lanai is spectacular at any time of the day. There are areas where you can sit, one by a little pond, and just be at peace while contemplating the sights, smells and sounds around you. Colorful flower plantings, volunteer plants and huge trees populate the property - a veritable oasis for the soul.
You can also walk about the 5 acre property and discover many wonders. Early morning was my favorite time for a walkabout - walking in wonder.
If you don't know the area, the Costs have a list of all the places to see locally, the restaurants close by and grocery stores if you plan to cook your own meals. As I said, they have thought of everything.
And , of course, the Curtis Wilson Cost Gallery and Gift Shop is now located on the property. You will fall in love with the work and the place.
With aloha,
