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.
