Meagan greeted us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the cottage. She made my son adam and I feel very welcome. The retreat is exactly as its described but words can only say so much. The property is inviting, beautiful and relaxing. We stayed at several other properties on Maui and this was by far the winner. You are close to beautiful beaches, the road to Hana and an awesome health food store. Mamas fish house is close by as well. Although expensive... I thought it was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. My only complaint is that we didn't book our entire stay here. This property is especially nice for couples. I should say however that my son who is 13 loved it here. The island was unusually hot that week but the cool ocean breezes circulating through the cottage kept us comfortable. This was a short but sweet stay.
