Marianne greeted my husband and I as if we were friends. The communication leading up to and during our stay was clear and everything was hassle free. The home comfortable, laid back, clean and in a great location. I loved the decor and natural/holistic energy of the homeowners. We did not meet Gary, but Marianne was around if we needed her or for conversation and recommendations, but completely let us do our own thing, too. Haiku is up in a higher elevation than the seaside towns, so the evenings were lovely and slightly cool, a nice escape from the heat. Slept very well with the breezy air, and the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. There were water glasses, a pitcher with water, and lovely fresh cut flowers in our room upon arrival. The home is on the lager side, so we had lots of privacy and it barley felt like we shared common space, or like we were on top of each other.
Great location - one day when we were there, we did a self guided bike tour down Mt. Haleakala from the company Haleakala Bike Company, which was just a few miles down the road from the home. Also nearby was a short drive to Paia and the airport (a short 20 min drive).
Thanks for the friendliness and great time in Maui, Marianne!
