My wife and I spent 5 days on Maui and stayed here the entire time. Halekalani, in the town of Kula, is a fantastic home base from which to explore the entirety of Maui. The view from this house is absolutely fantastic, and it's in a very quiet neighborhood. If staying here, be sure to do some star-gazing at night if the weather cooperates; the stars visible from here are mind-boggling. The summit of Haleakala is only about 45 minutes from this house, which makes trips up there more convenient. Trips down to the beach are a little long, but my wife and I didn't mind that; we'd much rather be up on the mountain anyway! As an added bonus, the nights are cool, which makes sleeping here very pleasant.

Other things to recommend this house are the awesome shower and the terrific kitchen, both of which we enjoyed. This house truly felt like a home away from home! Having a friendly dog like Kula to welcome us back each evening was so nice, and Jeff was a friendly host. We would definitely stay here again, and we hope to do so in the future. Maui was easily our favorite island to visit while in Hawaii, and Halekalani is definitely on our list of places to visit again (and again!). Thank you, Jeff, for such a pleasant place to stay; this was our first airbnb experience, and it was a great one!
