If you're searching for a place to stay in Maui that's off the beaten path, but not too far from the island's beautiful attractions, then look no further, because you've found it! I'm so glad we booked our stay with Peter and Yi. (We actually moved our vacation dates just to get a chance to stay in The Garden Room, and it was absolutely worth it!) In this hidden gem, you'll get to experience Maui as a local, while still being able to visit all of Maui's amazing spots and local eateries. However, staying with Peter and Yi proved to be more special than what we had ever planned or hoped for. These two amazing hosts have a deep connection with the island. They value and respect the land and all of its beautiful creatures, as well as the Hawaiian people, and their deep culture. They gave us so much insight to the island's history and evolution which made our stay even more special. They are both extremely kind, and they truly surpassed our expectations with their hospitality and generosity. They maintained excellent communication with us before and during our stay to make sure that we had everything that we needed for our vacation, and that we were prepared for our day to day activities and what to expect. The Garden Room was equiped with everything that we required and more. Peter and Yi were very attentive, and always available for us if we had any questions or if we needed anything. However, we honestly were so content with everything that we hardly needed anything at all because we were completely set for our entire stay!
The Garden Room is so precious! It's a small haven that offers serenity, beauty, simplicity, peace and quiet, and some space away from the frenzy of tourism on the island. It is extremely clean (and I cannot stress this enough because I'm a clean freak lol), and it has all the basic amenities we needed PLUS a very quiet air-conditioning system that kept our room crisp cool when we needed it (which, trust me, we didn't ever need for too long because that beautiful breeze was just perfect at night!)
Also, did I mention the rainfall shower with excellent heat and water pressure?? Yup, that's included too.
Enjoy the peace and quiet-day or night. Soak in the sun on your cute little patio while you sip your morning coffee/tea-and get lost in the island's nature sounds...
To sum up what I'm trying to say: I would recommend this place to my dearest friends and family members. Staying here is an opportunity you don't want to miss out on. Just trust me on this one. ;)
This place isn't just a gem because of its location and cute uniqueness, it's the hosts that gave it its extra radiance of harmony and beauty!
I truly hope you enjoy your stay here as much as my wife and I did.
