This Airbnb is located in a residential neighborhood on the slopes of Haleakala in central Maui. There is private parking spot available for your car at the driveway of the owner's home.
We had the pleasure of meeting Steve who showed us the ropes of the Airbnb unit and how to properly access the star dome. Guests have access to the second story of the owner's home which includes a private bathroom, microwave and mini-fridge, and private indoor bedroom (in case of inclement outdoor weather). The star dome can easily be accessed from the bedroom via a spiral staircase to the roof of the home.
The star dome headlines the Airbnb listing and for good reason because the views of Maui's night sky away from major city areas provides a grand spectacle. The ability to view hundreds of visible stars, constellations, planets, and The Milky Way lend a unique experience that not many Airbnbs can replicate.
The pathway to the dome on the roof is illuminated by string lights and the temperature-controlled dome with its thick bed covers was a very relaxing stay despite how cold the area gets at night.
We left early the following day to see the sunrise at the summit of Haleakala (advanced registration required via the state park's website) so it was a short stay for us at the Airbnb. However, this was certainly one of the most memorable Airbnbs we have ever stayed at and Steve was one of the most pleasant hosts we had interacted with. Everything about the unit was well thought out and I highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a unique experience in Maui.
