   Read moreThis is a delightful Maui jewel. When you walk in you feel like you're visiting a world explorer's house. They have six rooms that all connect to the main room, however it's rare that you will ever see the other guests except maybe at breakfast. That's fine, as you're there for a relaxing stay on the island. And it's quiet. The only noises I ever heard there were the birds chirping, water fountains trickling, and a truck backing up (we were in the suburbs after all).
While the place is technically in Lahaina it isn't anywhere near civilization. It's a 12-minute drive to the city, and Uber drivers don't like coming out here. So make sure you rent a car. And this place gets dark at night. There aren't any streetlights. The good part about that is the night sky lets you see a LOT more stars than the city. It's a wonderful experience. Launiupoko Beach Park is a 5 minute drive from here, and is a very nice beach that's rarely crowded.
Our hosts were super nice, and nothing was ever rushed. We could do everything at our own pace. We could also borrow beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, and boogie boards.
The room was clean and pretty well maintained. Despite being in a tropical environment we didn't have much of a problem with insects. There's a safe and mini fridge in the closet. There is a TV with local cable. The toilet is in a separate room, however there isn't a vent in there, so every now and then you should open all the windows to air out the room.
My favorite part of the room was the private outdoor shower. Don't worry about being seen as that wall is a good 7 feet tall. There was one time when the people in the room next door were taking their shower at the same time I was. I wanted to shout over the wall "Hello, neighbor!" but I restrained myself as I didn't want to be "that creepy guy".
Some things of note, because this is a bed and breakfast...
-There is no restaurant or bar -There are no laundry facilities, however there is a fine 24-hour coin-operated laundromat in Lahaina -There is no concierge, however the hosts can give you good ideas for fun
So yes, please stay here if you want a quiet and relaxing experience away from the bustle...
