Ho'Oilo House

We had a great stay at this beautiful spot in Lāhainā. Very quiet and peaceful. We loved taking morning walks. Loved the beautiful and simple breakfasts and the outdoor shower. Dan and Amy were kind and helpful. I did yoga outdoors on the lawn each morning, overlooking the ocean. We had the amazing and highly recommended Signature Lomi Lomi Massage treatments outdoors on the lanai. Definitely a place to unwind.

A beautiful home set in a gorgeous garden, surrounded by abundant wildlife, stunning sea views and sunsets, located in a prestige residential area. For British travellers, it’s similar to discovering a rare, boutique stay you might find in the Cotswolds, Cornwall, or Devon. Located in a residential neighbourhood rather than amongst resort hubs and downtown holiday lets. The house itself is truly one-of-a-kind, with interiors worthy of a magazine spread, “Soho House” attention-to-detail with tropical/Balinese design. The hosts, are literally your neighbours, and strike the perfect balance between being warm and sociable, with space to relax. There is a sense of safety and security having the owners next door for any questions, needs, etc. Dan in particular, offers a warm welcome, provided plenty of recommendations, easy going and made many kind gestures …. thank you! You are close to nature, from birds to insects, so don’t be freaked out to find nature indoors. Thankfully, there are no predators on land, only a few in the sea! Breakfast is delicious with freshly baked artisanal muffins and bread - plenty of choice and the tray wafted delicious. Having stayed at a couple of the “leading” hotels in Honolulu, neither resort came close to the guest care, peaceful and quiet, or had the uninterrupted stunning views found at Ho’olio House - it was way more personal and exclusive. Also, the other guests were like-minded travellers. Dan, Kathy and Amy made our first visit to Maui unforgettable. We wish them all the very best, and thanks once again. It was really lovely to meet you all.

Beautiful and pleasant surroundings. Gorgeous home nestled in the hillside among other homes. Delicious breakfast. Friendly and helpful hosts. Nice view of ocean in distance. Beautiful outdoor sitting areas. Also an airy comfortable indoor central space with seating for 4. Hosts provide beach stuff for you to take to various swim and snorkel beaches. Volcano is about 75 minutes away. Lots of beaches nearby but for most popular, you must arrive early for parking. Much of close-by Lahaina closed still to non-residents, but a small strip of the famous Front Street with 5 good restaurants is open.

Got to stay a few days at the Grand Wailia resort and a few days with at Ho’oilo House. We regret only that we didn’t stay the whole time at Hooilo House. Was so special and everything was perfect. Close access to the best whale watching & often times we didn’t want to leave the house. Next time we will rent a car and stay there the whole time. Dan was a host that felt like family. 💛

Highly recommend Ho’olio House and would definitely stay again. Did 7 night solo trip at end of November and loved every minute. Directions from the airport to the House were easy to follow and my GPS took me right to it. I rented a car through Turo (also recommend). It’s a perfect landing pad if exploring Maui, as well as a perfect setting if want to just lay by the pool all day. Loved the Bali inspired neutral aesthetics amongst the backdrop of the greenery of the grounds and ocean views. Dan, the owner, was friendly and personable and never too busy to chat. The B&B is in a clean community. Visiting as a single female, I never felt unsafe. There is a walking trail w/n walking distance of the B&B, but heads up there are some hills. Regarding the room amenities, the owners have thought through every detail. I wasn’t lacking in anything I needed for the week. Although they offer the same continental breakfast options, you can switch up your choices as you wish. I especially loved the fresh fruit, bread, coffee and tea. I stayed in the room called Nalu and would choose it again as a solo traveler. However, my 6’4 husband would not have fit in the bed. Anyone over 5’10 maybe uncomfortable since the bed is enclosed. If that is you, I’d choose the rooms with a king size bed. A friend had flowers delivered to me for my birthday while there. The tropical flower arrangement was big and beautiful! I also took advantage of the in-room massage (60 mins + scalp treatment) and would do it again and for longer. It was relaxing and convenient being on my room’s porch. Request Roxanne if you purchase a massage! The whole experience of Maui was special because of Ho’olio House. I cried when I had to leave. Don’t hesitate to book!
