What can we say about Sydney and her property that hasn't already been said? The location was perfect - close to all of what Maui has to offer, yet just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of tourists. The house offers views that can't be described (seriously, one entire wall in the loft is made of windows - yet it offers complete privacy). The landscape is breathtaking and provides an abundance of fruit that you may enjoy during your stay. Sydney, the host, is one of the nicest, most passionate people you could ever hope to meet! She was very quick to reply to our booking request, and communication was fantastic both before and after our arrival. She was happy to answer any questions we had about the land or Maui in general, and even provided us with information on activities that were taking place around the area during our stay! The house was well equipped (even has a guitar!!), and comfortable enough that we spent a whole day just hanging out in the house. The coffee grown on the land is incredible (it's the only coffee that I have ever enjoyed black). It is so good that we have set aside our Keurig, bought a coffee grinder and traditional coffee maker, just so we can brew it here at home. On the coldest of days (-40 last week) it's a nice little reminded of our amazing trip to Maui, and our wonderful stay at Maliko Retreat!
