From all angles, this home is quite special, so be sure to treat it with the same respect and care as Sandra, your host, past guests and the community. Sandra's care in the upkeep and decor of the space are noticeable and notable, but the sheer location of this home alone held up to all my high expectations of the experience. You can feel that elevated care (from Sandra, and from the space) once you enter this sanctuary. If you seek peace and harmony on Maui, this is the place for you.

Perhaps the best treat-- the geographical location is delicious-- you are perched high above the water with formidable panorama views far and wide making any time of a day a luxury to stick around and lounge on the lanai taking in Maui from above (lucky for me, this wasn't my first trip to Maui, so I gave myself time to linger a little longer). The ocean view was breathtaking-- even better than the photos relay. The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful, respectful, home-y and comfortable. Lots of birds, lizards and geckos, adding to the magicality of it all.

Sandra was an attentive and considerate host. Not just going through the motions, she took great pride in her home and space, and welcomes it to all of those lucky enough to be part of it. I already knew from the pre-arrival experience that the stay would be solid, and it is true, it was one for the books. She greeted me upon arrival, helped me get my bearings all around, had snacks waiting in the fridge and was thereafter available at all times should any issue arise (they did not). Having her next door is a nice feature, and I really felt part of her home during the stay. Nice balance of care and privacy.

I will be returning to this space my next chance.
