Where to start? Lori has put so much thought and effort into creating a space where you can relax and enjoy the serenity of all that upcountry has to offer. The private patio entry with beautiful orchids, comfy furniture, gas stove and cooking amenities was the perfect place to prepare and enjoy breakfast every morning in the cool upcountry air. Lori being the ultimate host stocked the pantry with so many goodies we didn’t need to go shopping - it was all there!
Inside the unit: so clean and cozy. Big king bed + smaller foldout futon for a child (or a shorter adult like my niece). No air conditioning but you don’t need it since you’re in the cool upcountry air. I’m not sure why but I didn’t experience any mosquitos which was fantastic! It’s summer now so we brought in a fan from in-laws when coming back from a day of adventuring and set it at the open doorway in the evening to quickly circulate the warm air out. In retrospect we could’ve simply asked Lori for this but didn’t want to bother her. Bathroom stocked with anything you need for shower or relaxing bath. Towels for bath provided as well as for beach. Beach toys, boogie board, umbrella, chairs provided as well.
Lori was just a quick text away and so responsive I felt like if there was something we needed we could just ask her and she would accommodate us.
The neighborhood was so quiet with little to no car traffic. My niece’s favorite thing to do was walk 2 minutes down the street and to the left to enjoy the spectacular upcountry sunsets. Even my wife who grew up in Kula commented on how gorgeous the view was.
Even if we didn’t have family in Kula to hang out with my mom would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Lori for providing such a wonderful environment to enjoy upcountry beauty. ❤️
