Classic board games, Direct TV for those that want television.

We are just 2 miles from, 7 Sacred Pools, aka The Pools at Ohe'o or also called 'Ohe'o Gulch'. Additionally we are 10 miles (30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic) to the town of Hana, where the famous Hasegawa's General Store and the Hana Maui Resort are located.

We are only 30-40 minutes to Maui's black and red sand beaches. Waioka pond, known as 'Venus pools', are a short 20 minutes away and Alele Waterfall is just 2 minutes away.

Unforgettable
Nothing but peace and relaxation. Exactly what we were looking for. At first we wondered how it would be to work with the outdoor kitchen and eating space, but our first meal immediately dispelled any concern and we were thrilled with the arrangement (and the kitchen is very well-equipped). We walked to the fruit stand (much more than only fruit) about a mile away every day and Mercury has a great list of activity suggestions. We would revisit in a heartbeat.

Beautiful and serene home and property!!
We absolutely loved staying here at Mercury and Samadhi’s peaceful sanctuary. My husband and I stayed here in 2019, and fell in love with it then. It’s a wonderful place to relax and unwind from the craziness of life! Stunning sunrises and sunsets from their property! We highly recommend this VRBO!!

The property is even more beautiful than the pictures. Waking up to the magnificent view from bed each morning, and enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch was a perfect way to start each day of vacation. Sam & Mercury were wonderful hosts.

Our stay was magical! The Hana highway was unlike anything we’ve ever driven but we took our time and it was a beautiful and fun experience. Once we arrived we immediately relaxed. The property has amazing views, Mercury provided a list of fun things to do in the area and we were able to hit most of them during our stay. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and exploring. We also really loved making our meals in the outdoor kitchen.

Pure paradise, and relaxation!
This place is an amazing place to stay ! The host was great. She wanted to greet us, even though we arrived late in the evening there was fresh fruit growing on the property we were allowed to eat and enjoy the space was clean and relaxing. I would recommend this to any couple trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts staying here was definitely paradise ! and I look forward to booking this location again!

Mercury is an outstanding host! Everything about our 50th Anniversary stay was absolute perfection! We can’t wait to come back. We spent three weeks in Hawaii and this was the highlight of our trip. I noticed that some of the reviews mentioned the fact that the house and the suite share a deck. We had the deck entirely to ourselves. It is true that the decks connect, however the house windows are heavily curtained and we never felt the slightest lack of privacy. Mercury invited us to use her deck as well and we ate all of our meals there.

Cute but uncomfortable to sleep in
We showed up at this beautiful property and found the instructions awkward. There is a small house straight in front that the owner lives in. To the right is a house the daughter lives in, and the studio apartment vrbo is attached to that home (in the front part). Our vehicle got stuck in the grass which hasn't been cut for awhile, definitely not the manuicured lawn seen in the photos, but rather overgrown gardens and yard. The walkway is right next to the daughter's home. She's very pleasant, but there is a shared wall, and even a doorway between the two living quarters, so to me it doesn't seem like a private getaway for newlyweds. She told us to read the rules, which seemed odd, maybe calling it a guide to where things were would have seemed more friendly. The lanai kitchen is stocked well, and there were fresh eggs and other items in the fridge, but we didn't know if they belonged to the daughter or if they were meant for us. The shower is amazing. At first it was odd since there's no curtain, but the owners were no where insight, so we felt safe to shower. The bed was the worst part because of my husband's hip problem. Its like an old waterbed frame with a two piece futon mattress inside..really huge, but the pads were placed so that you'd have the crack between pads at an uncomfortable spot no matter where you lay. And the wooden frame was painfull getting in out out of the bed. If you don't mind the bed or owner right there, its nice.

so peaceful
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely spot. It takes awhile to get there because of the slow winding road, but it is worth it. We loved cooking and eating breakfast outside on the deck each morning. Saw a rainbow each day. The yard is large and beautiful with so many different trees and flowers. Mercury was a lovely hostess.

gorgeous property and a remote get away
The property is stunning, surrounded by lush landscape and gorgeous views. The hosts are gracious. The studio is small but comfortable. And while you have access to your own outdoor area, it's adjacent to the owner's home so it's not the most private. The remoteness of the property needs to be taken seriously. While the location is close to the Pools of 'Ohe'o, it's a rough 40 minute drive into Hana and there are no services until you get there. You'll need to bring everything with you.

Before we arrived, my partner and I had a bet going about this place: he thought the photos must have been AI generated because the place looked too beautiful. Well I won, because this is the most beautiful place we have ever been, and every aspect of our stay was beyond our expectations. The room itself has two walls of windows with a built in XXXL comfy bed. The bathroom is spacious and decked out for royalty. The outdoor kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with this and that to enhance whatever you are cooking. The grounds are spectacular with ocean views, horses, sunrise and sunset, starry nights, fruit trees, water feature, outdoor bathtub and shower, flowers and art everywhere. Mercury was a perfect host. She was so warm and welcoming and made sure everything was just right. There were beautiful botanical arrangements all over the room to make everything feel even more special. The journey there is amazing, driving from the "Road to Hana" or the back side of Hana Highway; I definitely recommend driving the full loop. There is a lot to do around here if you like walking in nature and ocean swimming. Which you must, if you are coming to Maui!

So restful!
The B&B is marvelous! The views are amazing. It is truly a place to recharge. Cooking on the deck was fun - and challenging when windy. The bathroom is large with beautiful windows as well. It was more breathtaking than we expected. However be prepared for a bear of a drive! Although a bit hair-raising, the views were without equal and it is great to say I did that drive. Mercery and Samadhi were wonderful hosts. We wholeheartedly recommend this B&B!!
