We absolutely loved staying in Palm cottage and can’t say enough good things about it! Robert and Stephanie had it well stocked for us upon arrival with yummy banana nut bread, fresh coffee beans and other breakfast snacks and the kitchen is well equipped for any cooking needs. We also enjoyed cooking on the gas grill! It was wonderful each morning to enjoy drinking coffee while sitting on the lanai taking in the beautiful views and listening to the birds. We also saw numerous rainbows which was special! We also made sure to enjoy sitting in the yard amongst the flowers and fruit trees. There is a beautiful lychee tree next to the cottage with numerous fruits and I found a ripe one which was delicious. We also enjoyed picking lemons and adding slices to our water. The location of the cottage was perfect for all the excursions we took and especially enjoyed the Garden of Eden on the Road to Hana, sunrise on Mt. Haleakala, snorkeling at Makena landing(saw many beautiful fish and 3 sea turtles), swimming at Polo beach, whale watching out of Maalea, driving the whole west coast and Feast at Lele in Lahaina( truly amazing and worth the cost!!) We also enjoyed a couples lomi lomi massage in Paia at Aloha massage! In addition Ho’okipa lookout is close by which we stopped at a few times watching the windsurfers and beautiful Baldwin beach too. We loved that Paia was close and that is where we bought our souvenirs as well as trying shave ice at Ululanis and enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Paia Fish Market (we were not able to get a reservation for Mama’s Fish House, but would have gone there if we could have which is also close) the cottage also had soft cooler options that we used as well as nice beach chairs! It was nice to have a washer and dryer to use during our stay too! One thing we learned in Maui is the micro climates and this area is beautifully lush and can have brief showers whereas the south side is drier and hotter which is great for the beach and that the weather continually changes during the day but was enjoyable no matter what! All in all Maui is a magical place and this cottage makes it all the more special!!
