Firstly, it is important to note that in some prior reviews it was noted that both warmth (in cooler winter months at night) and privacy (due to lack of blinds/shades on windows) was a negative...this is NOT the case! The house has blinds on all windows if necessary including in the shower and Jeff has also added a couple of new oil filled space heaters which are more than sufficient to take off the morning chill in the winter (which immediately disappears once the sun is up in any case), so these should not be concerns for anyone looking to book here. This property is exactly as described but the experience of staying there cannot be described! Such a perfect location to feel a bit closer to nature and also to get a sense of the amazing abundance of the landscape of Maui. The house is so comfortable. The kitchen, for those who like to cook, is a dream, during our stay we made dinner in the home every night it was so enjoyable. For anyone looking to visit Maui and considering the usual beach locations we would strongly encourage that you consider Uncountry. It's still very close to everything and the cooler weather and quiet, laid back atmosphere is a perfect recipe for a relaxing vacation. Jeff's dog Kula even won the heart of my wife who is a bit of afraid of dogs! He came to door to greet us every morning. Also really cool to pick some fresh lemons and limes from the trees right outside the back door! Mahalo for a great stay, Jeff. Happy New Year!
