Wow! This is my 5th or 6th stay in the area and have to say this was one of the best and would 100% stay here again. For what its worth this trip was me and my gf. Her first visit to Hawaii (we live on East Coast of mainland). i think shed agree with this assessment.
First off the hosts Long Sheng and Saki couldnt be more gracious and lovely. We felt absolutely accomodated by them. Pure aloha!
As to the unit itself, dont be put off that its not 'on' the coast. one has to drive everywhere anyway, so might as well stay farther up the hill where the views only get better! Nice to be in a neighborhood slightly setback from the tourist fray. Very soothing. super chill.
Also, not sure the photos totally capture the vibe of this place, but its spacious and open. Maybe to open for some, but very groovy. Plus the views extend forever! So the space is virtually unlimited. Great sunsets from the porch. Perfect way to wind down after a day at the beach or out and about OR to enjoy that first cup of coffee as sun creeps out from behind Haleakala. Awesome! I eapecially liked seeing the stars from bed! OMG! i wanted to take home with me.
One thing to be aware of, things wind down early and start back up even earlier here. Maui midnight is approx 9p and wake up is approx daybreak. Dont worry, the local birds will explain. Its just the rhytm of how it is here. Lean into it!
Enjoy!
