This eco-friendly home is powered from the grid using net metering with 10 KW solar on the roof and is surrounded by 2 acres of organic orchard of mangoes, avos, figs, citrus, papayas and tropical fruits. Solar carport sports a charger for an electric car. There is all the power you need as the villa is connected to Maui Electric.

Inspired island living in an exquisite architecturally designed home, both casual/comfortable, and luxurious. This home has it all - ideal location and temperatures, privacy, stunning views, a lanai off every room, indoor/outdoor living, and easy access to everything Maui.

Awaken to the sound of birds and the sunrise over Haleakala. Sip locally grown coffee and enjoy tree ripened papaya on the back lanai, or 5 minutes away savor a fresh baked authentic French croissant and an espresso at La Provence, a charming outdoor café.

Explore the island: Haleakala, Hana, snorkeling, windsurfing, hiking, shopping, sunbathing, zipline, botanical & lavender gardens, horseback riding, wine tasting, tennis, golf, or jumping into a pool of fresh water next to a waterfall.

After a full day of activities and adventures, return home, kick off your shoes and relax on the lanai with a glass of wine overlooking the spectacular sunset views over the ocean and West Maui Mountains.

Dine on fresh fish grilled on the barbecue, and after dark be dazzled by the brilliant Milky Way and night lights of Maui. There are so many things to do and see. We provide an information book for leisurely planning of your next adventure.

Aloha has many meanings – hello, goodbye, love, the sharing of breath and life.

Upcountry Oasis
Char's home in Kula was exactly what me and my family were looking for to holiday in Maui (from Oahu). We love the remote and spacious feeling of the upcountry, the expansive views, the clear night skies, and the cross breezes. The house is beautifully laid out for both privacy and for coming together, especially in many outdoor areas. We also loved all of the books and games the house had to offer. There is ample furniture everywhere to enjoy the property, the views, and the birds singing. Char was such a kind host, offering fruit from the property, and firewood for the pit outside. The kitchen is fully stocked, unlike many bnb rentals nowadays. We were able to grill and cook with no issue. The location was a great jumping off point for Haleakala and Road to Hana. We actually wish we had more time to spend at home! Hope to visit again, sometime soon. Mahalo!

Had a great stay at the villa. Char met us at the driveway to familiarize us w the property. Private and relaxing with everything that you would need for house and the beach. Scenic views from every spot in the house. The bath house - best place to shower any time of day! Loved that there were cards and board games to play. Close to any activity or destination on the island. Thanks for a great adventure and lifelong memories.

The home was exactly as advertised with breathtaking views and close access to many of our desired excursions while in Maui. The host was very accommodating and we sincerely appreciated his time to familiarize us with the property. The host also provided everything anyone could need such as coolers, beach chairs, bug spray, and first-aid kit. Our family enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen as after our exhausting excursions, a home-cooked meal and the sunset view was the perfect end to our day. I felt privileged to have the opportunity to stay in this home that truthfully merits more than five stars!

Amazing stay in Kula!!
We rented this property for a family vacation and everything here was as advertised. The hosts were amazing and informative. The property is centrally located on Maui and it’s not far of a drive to get to all the beautiful stops around the island. Come home and enjoy luxury, relax and watch the sunset from the lanai, then gaze at the stars. The only thing I regret is not spending more time there to have a couple of relaxed days. There is much to see on the island and days were bus. Hands down this is my favorite rental I’ve stayed at!!! 10 GOLD STARS

An Incredible Experience
This property has stunning views and a beautiful design layout. We rented it as the bride and groom getaway and honeymoon stay during their wedding week versus a busy impersonal hotel suite. The wedding photographer and videograpers were enthralled with the picturesque opportunities presented by the homes layout. (No events are allowed at this location, this is just where the bridal party converged for preparation pictures). The property hosts were always quick to respond to questions and were there to welcome us upon arrival. Very nice touch. I strongly recommend this as a quiet, upscale home away from home.

Fantastic!
Booked this place for 5 nights with my partner to celebrate our 20th anniversary, and my niece visited us from her home on the Big Island with her partner for 3 of the nights. All 4 of us were very pleased with the house. The view from the front lanai of the West Maui Mountains with ocean on both sides is amazing, especially around sunset. The house can get a bit hot in the hours leading up to sunset due to the way the sun shines in, but there are big screen doors to the front and back lanais which line up to get a good cross-breeze going. The master bedroom has the same great view, with the bonus of having its own AC unit (all 3 bedrooms have one) if needed. Plenty of space, and I don't think it would have felt crowded even if there were 6 of us. The back lanai is great for grilling, with a large table and a professional grade gas grill, and the 2 large lanais essentially give you 2 extra rooms to spread out. Also off the back lanai is the outdoor bathroom, great for showers with a view. (Including the outdoor bathroom, there are 4 showers and 3 toilets on the property, so there was no jockeying for bathroom time.) The kitchen is spacious and very well equipped for a rental house. We had everything we needed and more for cooking. The place was clean, well maintained, nicely furnished, and in a good location for exploring Upcountry and beyond. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and have no qualms recommending it to strangers or friends.

Avoid the resorts and stay here
It was lovely to find a house instead of having to stay in one of those golf course condos or "resorts." Kula is not a tourist town but is a good central location from which to explore the island. If you want to be in the middle of the tourist experience, do not stay here. If you want to be able to dip your toe in, but then retreat to a calm, quiet neighborhood, this is the place. There are nearby activities such as para-gliding, "road to Hana," farms, restaurants, etc. Paia, the nearest largish tourist town, is great. Only 20 minutes away. A smaller tourist town is even closer. The house has some minor wear and tear but was very comfortable and spacious. The patio view is top notch. We had a great experience.

Perfect up-mountain retreat
After so many stays in the lowlands, it was so refreshing to stay up-mountain with the cool afternoon breezes, expansive views and peace and quiet. (Occasional rooster but disturbing in any way). The home is big, beautiful and so stylishly decorated. The bedrooms are big with tons of closet space and super comfortable beds. There is air conditioning throughout as well. The host was super responsive and helpful with tips on local markets and activities. The home is also equipped with tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. In short, it was the perfect stay and we'll definitely be back!

Fantastic location and house! Experience Maui in a perfect setting!
I cannot say enough positive things about our experience at the Island Sunset Villa. The gorgeous property has ample space and many outdoor areas to enjoy the view. You can see the mountains, the ocean, and so much green space from each lanai! The bedrooms were roomy, the kitchen was well-equipped, and there was plenty of outdoor space. Having a washer and dryer made packing light possible. I loved showering from the master bath and seeing the beautiful views—I had never experienced anything like that before. The villa featured all the amenities, including board games and books. But honestly, we just enjoyed Maui and the views the most. Never even turned on the TV! Even the drive to the villa, through the neighborhood, was beautiful. One aspect that stood out besides the beauty was the attentive owners. Char and Crispin were responsive to emails before our arrival. Crispin was available by text during our stay and provided a fanatic tour of the villa upon arrival. He offered great recommendations about places to visit (Ocean Vodka, multiple beaches, and small towns) and places to eat (Maui Slice, Kula Bistro, and others). I will return to Maui and look at renting the Island Sunset Villa again! Just a dream vacation all around :)

As nice as it looks in the photos
You know some properties appear much larger in the pictures than you find when you check in? Not this one. Spacious, with sliding glass doors that can open up the house to the courtyard. Lovely upcountry property well-equipped for visits to the beach (Kihei is 30 minutes away). Kula is where you want to be if Haleakala is on your list. The sun rising over the mountain starts your day and sinking into the sea near Lanai ends it. Perfect.

Absolutely Exquisite!
Immaculate and absolutely neat, tidy, and organized. This property is a perfect reflection of it's owners/managers. My family and I felt completely at home here and it was the perfect place to recover and restore ourselves at the end of each day spent exploring Maui. It's a 15-25 min drive "out of the way" to get to and from the house...but that's exactly what we wanted! What more can I say...we would absolutely stay here next time we're in Maui for sure. Loved it.
