Wow! Not sure where to begin with this review, but if you are reading reviews, trying to decide if this is where you want to stay... book it! This IS where you want to stay!
Firstly, Hutt, Greg and their sweet 10yr old doggo, Chief, are the most hospitable family we have Airbnb’d from. Hutt really embraces the Aloha spirit and takes his time to greet his guests, show the property and really makes sure that you have all the information you could possibly need for enjoying your time on the island! We stayed in communication with Hutt during our stay and he offered a ton of great recommendations and even told us about their totally free concierge service (just wow!). By the time we left, my husband and I were actually sad to be leaving because it felt a bit like leaving family!
Secondly, the property itself. Man! I can’t stress enough how much of a gem this little home is! This is the perfect retreat for a couple or single person looking to experience Maui in the least touristy way possible. This home is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood that is nestled up on the Haleakala mountainside of Kihei and allows you to take in the huge view of the west Maui mountain range, Lana’i, Molokini, and Kaho’ Owale. It is close enough to all everything you could do from a standard hotel or resort BUT the privacy and amenities far exceed such standardized places!
For instance, Two private hot tubs, an outdoor shower, a private deck (lanai) with a love bird resting bench to take an afternoon nap are just some of the amenities you will enjoy!
The sprawling Maui sight lines, perfect westward facing sunsets and Milky Way night time views can be enjoyed from almost any space in the house (even from the bathroom!)
You can tell that Hutt and Greg have traveled to places and accumulated a wealth of knowledge for how to create a comfortable, efficient and effective space by the level of detail they took in designing this home. The design in the gardening, landscaping and overall aesthetics of the home will indulge all of your senses!
This experience- to live a bit like a local, having contact with hosts who feel like family, in a place that could literally be the definition of beauty pretty much sums up how my husband and I feel about this Airbnb.
Thank you, Hutt and Greg! This will be a hard anniversary to top!
