There are few places in the world that exude casual elegance and draw in the AirBnB guest with the awesome tropical views like the 50’ penthouse in Kihei. Arranging the rental was straightforward and communication with Martin and Hutt was welcoming and prompt. We received a welcome letter which incurred directions to the house a couple of weeks prior to our stay. We provided Martin with our phone number so that we could text him once we arrived on the island. The relatively new house has a beautiful entry way thought a beautiful etched glass door which opened onto a grassy area and was private due to the bamboo planted along the wall. There is an outdoors daybed which we used one night to rest after a busy day. The geckos scampered and played around and provided entertainment. The house is located at about 450 feet elevation on the hillside with easy access to Kihei and Wailea. We rented the upstairs penthouse. Once you enter, one quickly notices the art, downstairs travertine floor, attractive dark wood floors throughout most of the home.

The bedroom closet was large and had nice cabinetry to put away clothing. There was plenty of room to hang clothes and there was a a thoughtful laundry hamper which was used for dirty clothes. The bedroom is a masterpiece of style and sophistication. The colors of the walls, flooring, drapes and art all are harmonious. Location specific art hangs on the walls - great choices! Airflow even on the hottest day was very good due to the doors which open onto the deck, large windows and a nearly silent fan overhead. Despite daytime temperatures in the 90s we did not use the air conditioning even once. The bed was reasonably firm and very comfortable. The master bath was wonderful with two sinks, an open shower and a separate toilet (with a fancy bidet function).
