Wailea Vacation Rental house

I have read all of the reviews posted here, and every single one of them is true, and complete, so it is difficult to feel I have anything to add here . . . but I'll try. The word that sums up my family's time at The Butterfly House is "MAGIC"! Yes, the architecture is perfect, the setting beyond your wildest imagination and the location more convenient than you could hope for, but when you walk through the door, and go from room to room, from inside to outside, from upstairs to downstairs, what you feel is serenity and grace. You are instantly home, for however long you have the good fortune to stay there. We were a family of 6, and no matter what each of us did during the day in Maui, we all looked forward to coming back to the house at night, watching the sunset and reconnecting -- this house, this space invites closeness and interaction, and yet is designed in such a way that we could each escape to our own private corner of paradise. Let me add, for what it is worth, we have been coming to Maui almost every year over the last 20 years: we have stayed in houses, condos, hotels, cottages, and some structures that defy a label. This house and the experience we had staying here provided an absolute once-in-a-lifetime vacation that none of us will ever forget -- we all still talk about it almost every day, and we've already been home 2 months! That is the kind of impression you are left with when you leave. If you find yourself in a position where you are able to afford this level of luxury and comfort, or if like me, you saved up almost a year to have this ultimate Maui vacation, my advice: DO IT! Stop thinking, start planning and start packing for a retreat that will change the rest of your life. We did, and I will never forget or regret my decision. Thank you for sharing this architectural masterpiece with us. You gave us MAGIC, and we can't put a price on that.

This was our sixth trip to the islands, and our fifth to Maui. We have stayed in resorts, condos, and two other rental houses, but this one tops them all. The house was spacious, well designed, and the flow-through ventilation was superior. The house has air-conditioning, but because of the cross-ventilation it was seldom needed. The kitchen was well equipped and large enough for all eight of us to gather in. There are two master suites, one upstairs and one downstairs, and two other bedrooms which share a bath. As an architect myself, I really appreciated the attention to detail and quality of construction contained in this house. The infinity edge pool and outdoor kitchen was an outstanding area to relax and watch the wonderful Maui sunsets. The pool has a large "beach area" which is relatively shallow and was a great place for our small granddaughter to play. The house is located in a neighborhood, but because of the way it is located on the site, it affords complete privacy. It is also high enough on the side of the hill to have terrific views of the ocean and adjacent islands, but is just a five minute drive from Keawakapu Beach, one of the nicest beaches on the island. We've found our home on Maui!

We can never go back to Maui again and stay anywhere else! Nani Pulelehua is truly an exceptional property. We had a dream vacation. The home goes 'above and beyond' one's expectations...from the wonderful views, infinity pool/hot tub/outdoor eating area to a beautifully decorated interior. We were two families on holiday together - who found the property ideally situated from the best beaches in Maui (our best - Big Beach and Makena - swimming with the turtles!), great shopping for the girls, lots of golf courses and close to grocery stores. What a treat it was to cook in a state of the art kitchen - WOW to the HUGE granite kitchen/dining room table. Plenty of room for everyone to help out, relax, find a quiet spot. We would not hesitate to recommend this property to friends. Thank you once again for such a wonderful holiday in your 'beautiful butterfly'.
