Brian's studio is in a super quiet neighborhood, attached to the main house and has it's own private entrance. mornings were very peaceful, with no sounds of local wildlife.
I always expect to hear chickens and birds before sunrise when staying in Hawaii (which I actually quite like) but to our delight we were allowed to sleep peacefully thoughout the morning, which was awesome after a long day driving completely around Haleakala. (don't do this)
Brian keeps a RinseKit in the studio - we actually brought this with us in our Turo rental wherever we went and it allowed us to wash off sand and dirt on the spot. This was an awesome amenity and it ensured we kept ourselves clean so we weren't dragging sand into the car or into the studio.
The studio is located in South Kihei, super close to Wailea shops and restaurants, Makena beaches, etc. It's also just a couple minutes drive to all grocery stores, Kihei shops and restaurants, and just 17mins from Maalaea harbor (the 2nd windiest harbor in the US!)
If this place is available, book it. Mahalo, Brian!!
