Pamela's studio worked great for us as a stepping stone to sunrise at Haleakala. The listing is less than a mile from the start of the road up to the summit, which allowed us to get on the road at 4:30AM instead of an hour or two earlier if you are staying in West or South Maui.
While it was the location that drew us to this place, it was Pamela's hospitality that made our stay exceptional. She was friendly right from booking the place back in January and gave us a guided tour of the place upon arrival, highlighting all of the helpful amenities. She gave us countless helpful tips, including getting to the delicious and generously portioned Kula Bistro before the dinner rush at 6PM and bundling up even more than we had planned for sunrise at Haleakala, for which she generously provided extra layers to keep us warm. Stargazing from the hot tub was a beautiful experience itself, for which she graciously offered to turn off her upstairs lights to enhance the view. She even gave us tips for the rest of our upcoming stay in Kihei.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Pamela and highly recommend staying here for a launch point up Haleakala or even for an extended stay due to her generous hospitality.
