Pililani means "close to heaven", which is an appropriate expression for this property. The magic of this land clearly speaks for itself, let alone the fabulous house and the many wonderful amenities. This is a heartful, warm and cozy place which is also cheery, vibrant and fun. Pililani is the ultimate gathering place for two or ten, for friends or families. When walking through the beautifully landscaped grounds, whether picking tropical flowers or sampling the fruit from the orchards, you can feel that this place is nourishing to the soul. Pililani is a carefree retreat, completely removed from ordinance stresses. It is really what Maui is all about.
This is an exceptional upcountry property, suited to travelers looking for a unique home in a rural setting. Very careful attention has been paid to every detail. Entry to the property is through a custom crafted bronze gate. The long driveway winds through a hedged area, to parking spaces at the back of the house.
The first view of the house is looking through the glass walkways, across the fish ponds, to the pool and cabana area beyond. With it's unique Thai style, and quality cedar construction, the house is architecturally pleasing and a memorable structure. The entire four acre property is hedged or fenced, to provide a high level of privacy. A huge investment has been made in landscaping this property, resulting in hundreds of tropical plants and trees, flowers, citrus trees, and a variety of mature palm trees. Nestled within the wings of the house is a tropical fish pond with a variety of exotic fish and water lilies. Every area of this property has an interesting or special feature - from the garden for cut flowers, to the 'spirit garden', to the reading chair tucked into a garden grove, each was created to enchant children and adults alike.
The recreation area can keep you occupied for hours! To one side is a fully wind screened, regulation size tennis court with a viewing area. UPDATE AUG 2021 - We completed a resurfacing of the court, and added striping for both tennis and pickleball!!! The forty foot swimming pool is surrounded by a flagstone patio. Sitting next to the pool is a large hot-tub, and a sauna. The pool cabana has a sink, small refrigerator, gas grill, and plenty of outdoor furniture.
The house was designed with flexibility in mind. The main wing ...

This house accommodated our group of 10 beautifully. It provided wonderful spaces to enjoy time together, as well as opportunities to read a book or catch a quick nap. Day trips for snorkeling, scuba diving, and viewing from the top of Haleakalā were facilitated by the location. We loved the pool and enjoyed many competitive games on the court.
We were so appreciative of the excellent and timely attention provided by Cathy and Melody. They set the bar for dedication to quality service. Thanks for ensuring a wonderful visit.

We absolutely loved our stay! The layout of the house allows for privacy, but also offers great gathering spaces. We spent most of our time walking the grounds, swimming in the pool, and relaxing. Although there is not A/C the house cools down well in the evening. The property managers were amazing to work with, very responsive, and hospitable. We’ll definitely be back!

Just above Haiku, the cooler and rainier side of the island. Great pool and plenty of space.

We loved this place! It was large enough to comfortably sleep our family group of 8 adults, one teen, and one toddler. The house was immaculate and the grounds were incredible with ponds, fruit trees, topical plants, a pool, with plenty of space to enjoy the sun, cook outside, and enjoy it as our own private resort. It also had a hot tube, sauna, tennis courts, and two grills. Sometimes when looking at properties online the pictures are filtered and cleaned-up to show “the best parts” of the place. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the place lived up to the pictures and it’s description. We had plenty to do around the island but especially enjoyed our downtime on the property. It was hard to leave when our vacation came to a close and look forward to staying there again!!

Cathy, Melody and Kama were terrific hosts and addressed our questions and occasional needs promptly and graciously. The photos of this property do not fully capture its grandeur and tranquility…it is a magnificent retreat for families and large groups.

You are lost in your own world at this property. Large home even larger grounds. The two masters are great for take trips with extended family and friends. Nice small town vibe with lots of shops and farmers markets. Close to the road to Hanna by far my favorite part of the island. Also pretty close to the airport so supplies are not to far. No a/c but it opens up pretty good and there are lots of fans. Very old Hawaii vibe. Loved it would stay again 100%.
