Sweet place to relax
What a sweet place! Loved our stay here in the peaceful, serene, beautiful hills above Lahaina. Dan is a wonderful host, tends to every need, and full of great information. The morning breakfast set up is perfect. We enjoyed our daily tray poolside, listening to the birds helping us greet the day. The outdoor showers are an awesome experience! Who would ever want a traditional shower again? Note: be prepared to navigate your luggage down the stairs from the parking area to the house.
Poolside breakfast. Great place to start your day. Water falls from pool are soothing. Birds are chirping and singing.

Our room was beautiful and private. We rarely saw other couples walking around. The views from the pool were gorgeous, especially during the sunset. The staff was amazing. Breakfast was waiting in the morning at our desired time with fresh fruit and homemade bread. If you had any questions, Dan was always around to answer them. It felt more romantic than a resort! I would definitely recommend this place!

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we absolutely LOVED it. This was a major reason on why we fell in love with Maui. We were a little worried at first because we weren't sure if the room was going to be small, and we had never stayed in a B&B before so we weren't sure if it would be weird for a honeymoon. But it was absolutely perfect. Much more private and romantic than any hotel or resort could get. The grounds were breathtaking and we loved days where we didn't do any excursions because being in our room or on the patio was just so relaxing and gorgeous. When we did go out for the day, I was always looking forward to getting back to Ho'oilo House because it is just that comfortable and relaxing! The breakfast was so good! I had thought we were going to go out to breakfast most days, but we liked it so much we ate majority of our breakfasts here! The POG is AMAZING!! Especially with their bread and jam mmm. So so good. Eating on the patio by the pool with the view of the ocean...we miss it often! Dan will also pack up a breakfast to go if you have an early day and are up before breakfast hours. He had it ready to go for us early in the morning at 5:30 a.m.! Dan was awesome, so kind and willing to help. Any question or need we had, he fixed it. Even the cleaning staff would go above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We were very grateful. All and all, we loved it. We definitely would come again!

So this was a great part of our Hawaii vacation. Set up in the hillside with a great view of sunsets this was a pleasant place to stay. Dan is a gracious host and very familiar with the area. He made some great restaurant recommendations and was always available. The property is relaxing and welcoming. The bed was super comfortable and the rooms unique so you feel like you are someone special. Highly recommend.

I don’t even know where to begin. My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights as part of our Hawaii honeymoon. I personally have never stayed in such a beautiful house in my life. The house, and it’s location is more than I could have ever hoped for. It’s a stones throw from the beach and maybe a 5 min drive from Front Street (the “down town” area where all the shops, restaurants, and other great sights are). If it’s your first time in Maui I STRONGLY recommend renting a car. It will make your life 100 times easier. Dan (the owner) is one of the nicest most laid back guys you could ever meet, and he’s always willing to give you some ideas on places to go (and he’s good for some rock music conversation as well 🤘). Even his house keeping assistant ( I hate that I forgot her name) could not have been more pleasant or helpful. If we needed some beach chairs or a cooler they were sitting next to our car moments later. There were other couples staying at the house who we had the pleasure of meeting during breakfast, but other than during breakfast we really didn’t see anyone else. In closing, this place is an absolute gem and I would recommend it to ANYONE! My wife and I have already decided to go back one day and we only left the house Yesterday. Frankly we would probably skip everything else and just go back to the Ho’oilo House in Lahaina. Dan I hope you read this and know that your new friends from NY (Joe & Kasey) will certainly be seeing you again! Mahalo Mahalo Mahalo!!!

Best Place Ever
Ho'oilo House is amazing. It was the easily the best place my wife and I have ever stayed. Not only was the B&B beautiful, there were great views of the ocean and mountains. The service was excellent; Dan Martin, the owner was a wonderful host. There were even things like beach mats and umbrellas for the guests to use. If you are staying in the Lahaina area of Maui, Ho'oilo House is where you should stay. We have already recommended it to several friends.

My husband and I decided to elope & chose Ho'oilo House for our trip. We couldn't be happier with our decision. We stayed in Honu and I can't imagine a better room. Dan was a wonderful host! Kind, helpful, and available when you need any assistance. A wonderful experience all around. Can't wait to go back!

Great stay the Ho'oilo way
We had a great weeks stay at Ho'oilo House, in the Wailele room which is exactly as pictured. The outdoor shower is wonderful. We prefer this type of boutique accommodation over a big hotel or an all inclusive. Breakfast each morning consisted of fruit, yogurts, cereal, toast, and freshly baked muffins.The common areas are comfortable and welcoming, and the grounds very nice with good views, and has ample parking. It's close to Lahaina, and also easily accessible to other points of interest on the island. We'd definitely stay at Ho'oilo House again.

Wonderful BnB! Had a fantastic time at this peaceful charming hotel in Maui. Close to Lahaina but far enough away to have lots of peace and relaxation. Rooms and hotel were stunning both inside and out. Loved spending time just by the pool relaxing but well located for exploring too. Breakfasts were great and Dan was lovely whilst respectful of our privacy. The common areas and rooms are very tastefully done. Could not rate this place more highly. This was the perfect end to our three week trip travelling in the US.

A perfect Maui experience!
Ho’Oilo House is perfect for Maui holiday. This romantic and relaxing bed and breakfast is beautifully designed with breathtaking views of the West Maui Mountains and Lahaina Bay. It doesn’t get much better if you are not looking for the big tourist resorts. One can easily drive to these resorts, if needed. Located only 4 miles from downtown Lahaina, it was super easy to travel and park. Our favorite restaurant was Star Noodle which is just off the Lahaina ByPass. Our host, Dan, was very helpful and enjoyable. The web photos aren’t enough. The owners are fortunate to have such a beautiful property. We hope to return. Aloha!

Stunning B&B, great location.
Friendly staff and charming B&B in quiet location close to lots of local beaches and amenities. Rooms were clean and spacious and had everything that you required including fridge, TV etc. Outdoor shower was a particular highlight with views looking back over the mountains. Breakfast in the morning gave an opportunity to chat to other guests about their experiences and gave the place an intimate, family feel. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay without all the frills of a big resort then look no further.

Relaxing retreat
the location up in the mountain with a view of the ocean was wonderful. Sitting out on the lanai having coffee in the morning was one of my favourite things. So peaceful. oh, and the homemade breads in the morning were so delicious. A great place to relax in the middle of our Hawaiian vacation and just take in the beauty. We actually took a full day there to just relax & enjoy the surroundings. Great spot to view the amazing sunsets. You deserve to treat yourself to this wonderful spa like retreat.

This place is a little piece of paradise! We stayed here for 5 nights and could not have chosen a better place to end our honeymoon in Hawaii. The facility is simply beautiful, quiet and perfect for a relax vacation. It is located conveniently close to nice beaches and attractions and is easy to get in and out. Dan and Amy are amazing hosts and they make sure that you're enjoying your stay at all times while making sure you've got everything you need. They made us feel like home away from home. We will be back and I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Top of the line B&B
We arrived a bit early. An envelope with my name neatly printed was taped to the front door which is never locked. Inside the envelope was a welcoming letter and basic instructions. We found our way to our large and comfortable quarters and deposited our luggage. Soon after we met the housekeeper and owner and were greeted cordially. The house which we were told was imported from Bali, has a tropical feel with many beautiful touches. The grounds were well manicured. Were it not for the calls of the tropical birds and the tinkling of the water flowing from fountains one could have heard a pin drop. The continental breakfast was tasty and satisfying. After the hustle and bustle of Honolulu the serenity of the Ho'oilo house was most welcome. My offer to pay for my lost room key was politely declined.

1 Night in Hana
The hotel is on a great property with terrific views and shared amenities, but the rooms leave something to be disered. Beds were not that comfortable and with no AC, the rooms can get warm if there's no wind (you also lose privacy relying on open windows to cool the rooms).
