KALA cottage is a GREAT haven away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts. The space is exactly as described and pictured. There are restaurants (one of the best sushi restaurants on the island, nuka, is just two doors down) and a market all within incredibly easy walking distance! Haiku is a quiet and sleepy town, perfect for a relaxing vacation. Do bring ear plugs if roosters crowing will wake you up, though. There are "free-range" chickens all over the island and they like to say good morning REAL early (it'll help you wake up to see the sunrise if that's your thing).
Mike is an amazing and communicative host. We would love to stay at KALA cottage again next time we visit Maui! Mahalo!
