Our stay at the guest cottage was magical, we can't imagine a more perfect spot to spend our first vacation in Maui. There are so many great things about this property. Rick and Dale have put a lot of love and attention into the landscaping and beauty of the property. There are banana trees, lime trees, pineapple plants, beautiful flowering trees, and plants. The pool was clean and refreshing after a very early morning flight.
Island life starts early and ends early. There are many wild birds in the neighborhood. Java sparrows, doves, cardinals, love birds, and other wild birds hang out on the property and come to the feeder in the mornings. All the birds and flowers in the neighborhood create a tropical paradise. The neighborhood is very quiet other than the sounds of nature but is very close to the busy areas of Kihei, Wailea, and Makena. The area is beautiful, safe, and in a great central location to explore the whole island.
The check-in and communication are super easy. Rick took time to orient us to the island with a visitors map and gave us very helpful tips about the island. The cottage is clean, well maintained, private, comfortable bed, nice inside and outside shower, full kitchen, and outside grill. We were greeted with fresh-cut pineapple and the refrigerator was stocked with bottled water. We really appreciated these treats in the heat. Rick also left us fresh limes from their property and fresh mangos from the neighbors. We loved the "farm to table" experience and everything was delicious.
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this lovely cottage. Rick and Dale and wonderful, kind, and very personable hosts.
