Pamela Polland is a wonderful host! She is gracious and dynamic, and our family shared a fantastic meal with her at the Kula Bistro... an evening not soon to be forgotten. We happened to find Pamela on an NPS-sponsored video online for Haleakala Nat'l Park: she did the narration. When we contacted her to get a copy of the music on that soundtrack, she mentioned that she had 2 rentals, including the Kula Jewel: coincidentally, we had booked the Kula Jewel a couple of months earlier! It was all meant to be! The Kula Jewel is a haven set in the garden of Eden: fruit trees bursting with fragrant blossoms and fruit that Pamela encourages you to take; a not-too-cold swimming pool and private hot tub; views of the Valley and West Maui Mountains (Pu'ukukui) to die for, and a clear view of the observatories at the summit of Haleakala from the deck when clouds part... Pamela even called us to get out to have a look! Pamela is kind, considerate and her house is immaculate and welcoming. We made great memories there with our family of 4. The house can easily accommodate 4 more, though be aware that there are only 2 bathrooms, located on the main floor. Experience the true meaning of Aloha at Pamela's!
