We were looking for a beautiful, restful retreat for a week on Maui, and decided to try an area to which we've never been before. We love Pa'ia town and looked for a place nearby and close to the beach. When we saw the pictures of the Plantation home, we loved what we saw. However, things are sometimes not exactly as they seem on AirBNB, so we reserved it with some trepidation, but a lot of longing to be in that beautiful spot. We could not have been more pleased when we arrived. Daniel and Manuela welcomed us warmly, introduced us to the place, and then left us to enjoy their lovely property. They were helpful, pleasant and unobtrusive. They were also delightful people so we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them, though they never interfered in our days.
The bedrooms are airy and bright and open to the lanai if you like it that way, but also private and secluded if that's your preference. We especially loved the sitting room off of the master– a beautiful space to read or have coffee in the morning. We loved sitting there and watching the geckos on the rocks outside. We like to cook, and aare pretty particular about kitchen equipment. The kitchen was well-equipped to handle even an elaborate preparation. And the proximity to the beach is perfect– a short walk away to one of the most beautiful beaches you can imagine. One night there was a full moon and we walked out to enjoy the magic.
All in all, the amenities were perfect, the hosts delightful and the area both full of beauty as well as activities. We couldn't have asked for more.
