Truly beautiful place. I thought we would have more of a far off ocean view, but not complaining at all. We would stay here anytime we return to Maui as a couple. You can tell She's takes great care of the place.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Sanctuary! The cabin was amazing and very inviting. The isolation and views were amazing. It was perfect way to end a day by coming home for peace and relaxation. The outdoor tub was a definite hit as well!!!

Cottage was beautiful and unique, we stayed 3 nights here after spending 6 nights in Wailea and have to say it was a awesome change of pace and scenery. We stayed during a full moon so we did not see many stars but the moon itself was the brightest I have ever seen, you could mistake it for a spotlight from above. Loved the porch and soaking tub, as well as the nature surrounding us, the upcountry is truly beautiful and would recommend anyone looking for a break of the typical Hawaiian vacation to stay here.

Dreamy retreat

very stunning, high quality experience. I would personally choose this place over any luxury resorts. I was amazed as soon as I entered the cottage because of the well thought music from Bose speaker, the scent, overall the gorgeous cottage. Really liked the energy of this place

The cottage was exactly what we were looking for for our stay on Maui. It was private, quiet and a completely different speed and atmosphere from what you find near the beach. The cottage is very well maintained and you can clearly tell that the owners take pride in their property. It is quite a ways up the mountain, so be prepared for driving the winding roads.

A Hawaiian Dream

My new husband & I visited Hawaii on our honeymoon & stayed in this incredible cottage. The view is absolutely breathtaking. To be able to wake up to the sunrise each & every day was a dream come true for us. The hosts are so nice & left a little welcome basket for us! We absolutely LOVED this place & hope to come back. Cannot recommend enough:))

Serene and special

Our stay was as pictured in every way! Cottage was stocked and well-appointed. The star gazing from tub on porch was exceptional, as was drinking morning coffee listening to the birds and roosters. Mahalo for kicking off our 20-anniversary trip in such a special way. Lifelong Maui upcountry fans now!

My partner and I absolutely loved everything about the Mahina Cottage! Shems was great in answering any questions we had prior to our trip. Upon arrival the cottage was so welcoming! Such great thoughtful touches really made us feel welcomed. During our stay Shems kept in touch, making sure we were doing ok , which was very comforting considering we were there during a storm. Honestly, we couldn't have been anywhere better to wait out the rain and wind. What a magical place!! We are definitely looking forward to our next visit!! Thank you so much Shems and Achintya!!!

Perfection

This is a beautiful property centrally located for all of the many activities we had scheduled for our visit to Maui. The home was clean, very private, and just as advertised. The owners have tried to make everything you could possibly need available, including beach chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, ice coolers, beach towels, etc. It is a great property and one I will use again if traveling to Maui.

Absolute Magic

WARNING - You will not want to leave. This place is an absolute gem of a find. Shems was very communicative and made check in/out a breeze. The kitchen is well stocked with coffee, spices, etc. they even left us a bottle of wine, banana bread and honey from their own bees!! Everything was clean and cute. The view from the balcony was incredible. If we ever make our way back to Maui, this will be the only place we stay.
