Our stay at the star cottage was phenomenal. The location can't be beat, right along the Hana road, it's within close proximity to the Kihei harbor, big beach areas, and western island. But our most enjoyable times were on the property: morning smoothies and walks to the cliffs, lunch by the pool, afternoon naps in the hammock, and evening hot tub sessions.
If you're a last minute traveler, I highly recommend flipping through the Maui Revealed guidebook to help guide you. Another tip is be sure to stock up on snacks, because once you've decided to stay on the property for the day, you won't want to make the drive into town!
