This is a SUPREME location. We loved making plans at night for our day trips ahead. Nestled in the rainforest of Maui the birds are the sweetest little friends to wake up to in the morning! It's a BEAUTIFUL and easy drive to anywhere on the island. I highly recommend Baby Beach for a shorter drive! We also had our snorkel trip cancelled by the company hosting that trip and made the best out of it by renting snorkel gear (I recommend Snorkel Bob's) and setting up camp at Po'Olenalena Beach. Now, make sure you go in the morning and snorkel the rocks to the right of the beach if you're ready to see angel fish, other beautiful fish and tons of friendly sea turtles! If you can splurge the Maverick Helicopter ride (65 minutes) was a once in a lifetime experience. It allowed us to see the entire island in one swoop! As far as the cottage, Jackie was a fantastic host and very responsive. Also, recommend Colleen's for breakfast and the Haiku grocery store right next door. This has the biggest selection of groceries we could find for a short drive. There is drinking water at the cottage (reverse osmosis) out of the sink so that was really great. The outdoor shower was divine. The beds were SO comfortable! I do hope we are able to come back someday. Mahalo! :)
