Cozy, stylish & airy place in Maalaea. Wonderful ocean views. We really enjoyed the sweeping views of Haleakala every morning (we had not expected that, nice surprise). The lanai is an ideal place to enjoy the scenery, watch the waves and observe the many turtles popping up their heads regularly. The adjacent long beach is great for walking and swimming at the sandy entries (morning is best). The location is very central with fairly quick drives to South Kihei, Lahaina, Paia and beyond. Of note, the pandemic-related restrictions have eliminated a lot of traffic. As a result, lots of restaurants, trails and activities are closed or suspended. Plenty choices remain open though. We enjoyed the quietness of Maui and the peacefulness of Luke's place. Being Big Island residents, we can honestly say that this an informed review and would definitively recommend staying here to our island and off-island ohana.
~We would like to add a recommendation for a restaurant, "Kamana Kitchen" in Kihei (Indian/Nepalese). Makes for tasty take-out and a romantic dinner on the lanai. ~
One more note: Luke's place allows for generous cross-breezes and has adjustable ceiling fans in all rooms. We did not use or need the AC during our stay.
