My partner and I love to travel. And we stay with Airbnb a lot. So when we say that Meagan's place is one of the nicest available anywhere, we don't just mean on Maui-- we mean *anywhere*.
Meagan's place has a certain "something" that is more than the sum of its parts. Everything together precisely dials in an idyllic modern-countryside lifestyle that we didn't even know we were looking for until we arrived. We immediately sat on the porch feeling the wind blow past us, sipping a drink, reading and writing while listening to the sounds of birds and creatures outside. The treelined driveway provides a feeling of seclusion, and the backyard looks out onto the rolling hills with neighbors in the distance.
Still, Meagan's place is only a short drive from the funky surfer / volcano-biker tourist zone of Paia, as well as close to the cute little "aloha cowgirl" town of Makawao. It's also an excellent staging area for visits further uphill, such as the lavender farm or Haleakala National Park.
Also, the whole place makes wonderful use of light and space, and allows you to be as immersed in (or isolated from) the surroundings as you wish. You can choose to hang out fully outdoors on the back deck, or listen to nature in that very spacious and nicely furnished screened-and-covered porch room, or relax in the large dining and entertainment area. Also, both bedrooms and the large central room are well-lit by large beautiful windows-- but the bedrooms also have thick curtains to accommodate light (or late!) sleepers.
The fixtures and features are top-notch, too: high-end washer and dryer, stylish lightbulbs, very comfortable mattresses, and even fast Internet.
Add in Meagan's small touches of ambience (the remote controlled fans, the warm glow of LED candles, excellent guidebooks stuffed with insider tips, and fresh flowers throughout the space), and it's the picture perfect concept of serene, quiet uphill living.
A real treat, don't miss out!
