Breathtaking Relaxation: As you sit on the cottage's veranda 3,500 feet from, with the occasional low-level cloud at your fingertips, you will out from the house over the isthmus of Maui and the beautifully sculpted West Maui Mountains. In the other direction lays sleep Haleakala, its summit covered in gentle clouds and rolling green hills sculpted thousands of years ago by lava flows. As the day moves on past the islands of Kahoolawe, Molokini, and Lanai, enjoy breathtaking sunsets every night as you look to the West from a veranda that encircles the cottage. Wake up with the sounds of songbirds and the smell of fresh flowers.

The living area, dining area (with seating for six), and gourmet kitchen blend together, flowing toward the spacious veranda and inviting the indoors out. Wrapping around 3 sides of the cottage, the veranda affords access to the hot tub, chaise lounges, rocking chairs and table for outdoor dining. The kitchen is fully equipped with the finest cookware and stainless steel appliances, bringing out the chef in every guest. A four top gas range, spacious granite countertops, convection oven, espresso maker, mixer, blender, and side-by-side refrigerator with icemaker are all placed deliberately to facilitate the making of a rewarding meal. A dishwasher and garbage disposal make it that easier to clean up.
