Great House and wonderful host

The house was perfect for us. It was the best equipped rental we have experienced. The house was located between two cute towns. The farm was very serene and peaceful but there were plenty of things to do in the area. We loved the goats who were more like dogs. They would run to the fence to be petted. The house was immaculate and the bedding was very comfy. It had an open concept which was great for games, hanging out and cooking. Kyla grew up in the area and was a wealth of information. I was concerned that there not many reviews for the house, but I am so glad we booked it. It was a great house and the grounds were fantastic. I would highly recommend this VRBO.

Wonderful property, great hosts, perfect Hawaiian setting

This was the perfect place for our extended family to stay! We slept 10 very comfortably. The house is situated in a great spot on the north side of the island with views of Maui and the ocean. The kids (and adults) loved the farm : goats, sheep, cows, fruit trees and and a peaceful setting with everything we could ever need. The house was also well stocked and accommodations abound we had everything we needed in a rental. This is by far the best rental we have had on islands- it was new, clean, well stocked and absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing this place with our family!

About the host

Hosted by Kyla Jarrett

We were born and raised here and can't wait to share our home with people who will love it.

Why they chose this property

This incredible property has a history through my family. My uncle used to run cattle here as a boy and now is the caretaker for the entire space (he's the reason it looks so beautiful!)

Now, we run it as a farm and an orchard.

The cows on the property belong to my cousin. The sheep and goats are rescues.

We sell the orchard fruit to local restaurants and shops, and we're happy to share it with you as well.

What makes this property unique

Enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, harvested directly from our garden.

When we have a surplus, you are welcome to our chickens' eggs.

We often have baby rescue animals on the property, so if we have any during your stay, you are welcome to participate in bottle feedings.
