The treehouse cottage is an upstairs apartment with separate entrance, a fully equipped kitchen (with stove, microwave, dishes, cutlery, refrigerator, a good coffee maker and grinder and even with coffee beans supplied), separate bed and bath room. There is also a patio with a table and chairs. What makes it a treehouse is that it indeed is built into a large tree. Birds are all around and one has a bird’s eyes view to Kihei Bay with the West Maui Mountains behind. The interior is very tastefully decorated all around the tropical/Hawaiian theme. The paintings, the artwork, the colors – it all thoughtfully provides a feeling of being in the tropics and yet nothing to be missed for convenience. There is a washer/dryer in the apt. Beach towels are available as well as boogie board and other useful beach gear. I was more into hiking Haleakala and did not use it, but I could have. The location is in a quiet Kihei neighborhood not far from grocery stores, restaurants and buzz on S Kihei Rd. Pam and her husband live downstairs and they were very friendly offering advice and help, if needed. I really enjoyed my 8 days and certainly recommend the treehouse cottage in Kihei.
