Nona Lani Cottages

We had a lovely experience at these charming little cottages by the ocean. It was very important to us to rent locally, and a friend recommended these. The cabins are cozy, but had everything we needed. The owners are so helpful and responsive! I mentioned that we were going to an excursion the day we were checking out, so asked if I needed to do anything. They asked me if we just wanted to extend checkout so we could come back and shower. It was so kind and considerate. Definitely recommend!

Okay, here’s a review fitting your specifications: Absolutely fantastic stay! The service was impeccable, and the rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, close to everything but still quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Nona Lani Cottages. It is located just north of the Kihei town center, right across the street from the ocean. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. We stayed in one of the cottages at the front of the property, and had a small deck where we could sit and be serenaded by the ocean waves each evening. We are looking forward to staying there again next time we go to Maui!

I am going to write a really honest review because that is what I like to read. We stayed at these cottages (cottage #5) 11/10/2023 - 11/16/2023. I want to start by saying that Maui was extremely crowded and that is not on the cottages, I thought maybe because of the fire there would be less people but the west side was packed with people. When we arrived the staff was polite and told us about the cottages, when we opened the door I was a bit disappointed as it was not what the pictures appeared. We had a garden view which was quaint and pretty. The cottage was VERY clean and had all the ammentites fridge, stove, etc. However the coffee maker was very small and my husband and I are coffee drinkers, they probably should have a single cup maker in there then you make as much or as little as you like. We even thought of buying one and leaving it behind but I said not at almost $350 a night. There were towels, but I had to call for extra towels and dish towels, the shower is Huge that's a positive, but the toilet was very difficult to flush sometimes you had to flush it 3-5 times to get it to flush, not how I wanted to spend my vacation battling a toilet. The living room was not comfortable at all, there is a futon bed which was very difficult to get comfortable on and no end tables, so we wound up pulling the dinning chairs over as end tables for drinks, snacks, etc. also no lighting except for the overhead fan light. The TV was ok but you only get maybe 2 channels that were not public channels, be prepared to watch every episode of Friends and the news, we did get HGTV so as a Realtor that was nice. There is no TV in the bedroom, now I know you re in Hawaii and why would you want a TV in the bedroom, well my husband and I are older we don't drink and we like to watch the news before we go to sleep, this is a personal preference I know. We were told that there would houskeeping on our 3rd day there was never any housekeeping. The location is across the street from the beach, but is a major street in fact the main st thru Kihei so there is alot of traffic and noise and at night could be dangerous to cross. All in all I would not stay at this facility again and would never stay in Hawaii without a pool again, but I knew there was no pool so that is on me. If you go into staying here expecting more of an Air BnB feel then you won't be too surprised, I didn't expect a luxurious resort but at that price I did expect the toilet to work and it be comfortable.

Relaxed, friendly, clean bungalows with porch/lanai across the street from busy road and beaches stretching for miles. A comfortable—and relatively affordable (for Maui)—base to start exploring the island. Beautiful, flower-filled grounds. It seems that many return here year after year. My only suggestions are: a better sign to see the driveway if arriving at night; blackout curtains in bedroom (the sun is strong early). Overall, not luxury, but very good Hawaiian-feel accommodation.

We had such a great time at Nona Lani! The second half of our trip was at a resort so for the first portion, I wanted something that was cozy and gave a homey feel. Nona Lani delivered that and so much more! They are clean and comfortable, have beautiful grounds, and the customer service is top notch. I can’t wait to go back!
