Definitely a private oasis as described! We loved the architecture, setting, landscaping and personal touches at this bamboo cottage. Relaxing in the hot tub was pretty darn nice after a long day also. The location is excellent for north shore and upcountry activities and accessing Haleakala. Not as convenient for the south shore/Kihei or Lahaina area but the drive is still very doable to those locations also. If you want to stay away from condo central and off the beaten path, consider this place!
