God's Peace of Maui

Location: Highly praised for being central to Maui’s upcountry, near Haleakala National Park, and convenient for exploring.

I stayed in mid-November, in the Hibiscus Room, which was a separate cabin. I met Mika and he gave me a tour of the place and my accommodations. I also met Tammi later in the day. Both were very friendly and charming. The Hibiscus Room included a queen-sized bed, a dresser, side tables, a refrigerator, and a standing fan. There was also a ceiling fan, four sliding windows, and a private deck with chairs and a table that faced a working Pineapple Field. It also came with bath towels and a beach towel for the jacuzzi. The bathroom was a short walk to the main house but there were four shower rooms and four toilets. Breakfast consisted of oatmeal and coffee but I'm not a breakfast person. I'm good with a fiber bar and water. I stayed three nights and I think I was eventually the only one staying at the place. I did not use the outdoor shower or jacuzzi because it was a little cool in the late afternoon. I rented a car in Kona and drove to Peace of Maui. On the way, I stopped at Whole Foods and purchased a few meals to put in the refrigerator. Each morning I went to Haleakala and did a lot of hiking and was even able to get Sunrise Tickets! One day back, I stopped at Waikulu Distillery, which is up the street, to enjoy their Agave Spirits. Another day, I stopped at the little town of Makawao, which is on the way back from Haleakala, and walked around. So cute! Each eveningI would sit on the deck and enjoy my Whole Foods meal and marvel at the Sunset colors. Lots of birds. And the flowers and pineapples smelled awesome. My room had a little Gecko I named Gary who was more scared of me than I was of him and he hid behind the dresser. I hope he's okay! I really enjoyed my stay. I think next time I would stay in the actual house so I was closer to the facilities.

I agree with other reviews that this is more of a hostel type environment than a B&B (could be hostile as well, since there was mold on the bathroom ceilings and cockroaches in the bedrooms). Texted the owners a couple of times about different things - no response or delayed 12 hours - even though there appeared to be folks upstairs (which is where they live). No meet and greet - just a note on a sign by the door about which room you were in. Breakfast is put into a cupboard in the kitchen for you - and consisted of prepackaged granola bars, applesauce, and instant oatmeal. Almost forgot about the sandpaper they call bathroom towels - ouch! This could be a really neat little place for folks to come and stay if only the owners cared about anything but raking in the money.
