Staying at the Moana Lani B&B is like coming home. This was my second stay, and I am so glad that I came back! Stephen is an amazing host, and goes out of his way to take care of his guests and make sure that they get everything that they're looking for on their trip. The location is perfect and close to everything that you'll want to do on Maui.

Stephen is an amazing host, super nice rooms, cakes served for free every afternoon with cocktails, he did our laundry, bikes are provided to bike to Lahaina (or 25min walk), beach gear (chairs, body boards, snorkel gear, etc etc). Every day in the morning homemade bakeries, coffee, just perfect. Very nice lanai to spend time (with a tiny little downside, that traffic from the street behind the house makes some noise , which you can't hear in the rooms). Highly recommended if you don't wanna stay in he somehow artificial resort area north of Lahaina.

Stephen was a fantastic host! The room was very comfortable and the place was super charming. The homemade continental breakfast items were awesome and he put on a fun happy hour each day on the beautiful plantation style porch overlooking (and just across the road from) the water. The place was also equiped with beach gear, boards, bikes, and even something to strap a board on the rental car! Stephen was a great source for tips on things to do and the best places for snorkeling/surfing etc. Would highly recommend!!

Stephen's open friendly greeting and enthusiasm for what he does sets the stage for a great stay. He made sure I had gluten free breakfast things to eat that were yummy, along with fruit. And he bakes his own breakfast cakes. It is right on Front Street, so it was easy to find my way around for shopping, beaches or anything else on this side of the island. The room was sooo cute!

Honestly, there is no better place to stay in Maui! Stephen was a wondeful host, breakfast and dessert/cocktails in the evening were amazing. He makes everything himself and they are so yummy! He has everything you could possibly need; beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, snorkeling gear, coolers, beach towels and has an awesome closet with things you may have forgotten to pack like sunscreen, pain relievers, etc. Loved the location, being so close to Lahaina downtown and the ocean was a definite plus. After a day of exploring we loved having so many dinner options, gelato and shops nearby. Thanks Stephen for such an amazing stay!

Stephen will instantly make u feel welcome and comfortable in his home. His breakfasts were so welcomed (not having to get up and go out right away) and his cocktails and homemade goodies each afternoon were something we looked forward to each day.

Gorgrous rooms and location. Stephen is not only hospitable and helpful, but whips up beautiful breakfasts, afternoon teas and Island cocktails.

Great stay! Cozy spot and great breakfast. Walking distance to restaurants, shops and the ocean. Will definitely stay longer on my next trip.

We loved Jay's little condo on Maui. The condo was small but had everything we needed. Fabulous Lanai. Great location. Small but fully equipped kitchen. Jay has also left beach chairs, 2 coolers, beach towels and a wonderful beach umbrella. It was really nice to have all these items available for our use. If you are staying on Maui, you will need a car to get around. This condo is only a few minutes by car to everywhere you need to go. The condo has its own parking spot. Perfect condo. The condo is on the 3rd floor and is very quiet. The bed is very comfortable. We would rent it again.

Jay's condo was the perfect solution for our week in Maui. It is compact but for the 2 of us, more than ample for our needs. It is tastefully decorated, had heaps of towels, fully set up for guests, with everything you need it the kitchen, and excellent quality gear. The small touches really made the difference, such as the guide books to the island, beach chairs and umbrellas, cooler bags, snorkeling equipment for us to use. The location is good with a small market nearby, but we found it great to have a rental car to get to Lahaina, Ka'anapali and other good hiking and snorkeling spots. Being right on the water was amazing, could see the turtles close up from the porch, and the view was spectacular at all times. Jay was an awesome host, and was very responsive to our queries and concerns. I have no hesitation in recommending his place if you are heading to Maui. It is excellent value for money, and has that touch of magic you want in a dream holiday.

We had a fabulous stay at Jay's place. We arrived early but the cleaner was lovey and let us drop our bags off. She also gave us all the local tips which was so helpful. My husband and I loved the ocean front views, just incredible! The sunrises/sunsets and balcony area were awesome. We loved falling asleep every night to the sound of the waves. The bed was comfy and the wifi fast. Location was perfect! Thank you so much Jay!!!

Stayed for our honeymoon. Jay was a great host. Super responsive to all communication. View was amazing. We saw whales and sea turtles from the lanai. Our only gripes are the comfort level of they bed (hard and bouncy) and the AC struggles to keep up in the afternoon. Would definitely recommend.

Great location and very clean and comfortable studio. It was perfect for our stay. Jay was very informative and responsive to any and all questions we had.

Great experience! Everything was described perfectly and the photos do not do the view justice. Jay was the most on top of things and very accommodating.

1. Cond(URL HIDDEN)Super clean, well equipped and just as described! Having breakfast/dinner on the balcony is a treat(URL HIDDEN)Jay got a new a/c a few days after we arrived and it was very powerful and it keeps the room cool even during the hot afternoons. It's quiet, too(URL HIDDEN)It's very well located to grocery, downtown Lahaina and nice beaches(URL HIDDEN)It's also in a quiet neighborhood so you can get a good night sleep after all the activities. 2. Host Jay is super responsive and kind! We asked for early check in since our flight arrived early, Jay immediately responded and we got to check in 2 hours early. He was also very attentive during the new a/c installation process, giving us heads up, etc. He is a great great host!!

We loved staying at Jay's condo. It is right on the ocean and we could see turtles right from the balcony and easily swim whenever we desired. The decorating was lovely and we were able to cook meals easily in the kitchen. The condo also came with snorkeling and beach equipment which was nice. It was far enough way from the downtown to be relaxing and quiet, but only a short drive away. The place was clean and pest free. We would definitely stay here again.

Such a great spot - location and home! Everything was made super easy by Forrest. Absolutely recommend staying here! 2 min from the beach and 1 minute walk from Mama's Fish House!

Had a great time, great flat to relax for few days in Maui

Nice flat, near by a small beach. Great to start the road to Hana. We would book again!

Steps away from Mama's Beach and a short drive from Paia, Forrest's place is great for vacationer's who want to stay in a less touristy spot. Thumbs up for his guides on nearby restaurants and the shortcut to the beach

Great place if you’re looking for something less touristy! It’s only a mile away from the town which has a lot of great restaurants and shops. Check in was smooth. I would definitely stay at this location again.

Forest was a great host. The apartment was clean and and Forest was easy to communicate with both before, during and after our trip. We covered a lot of ground and saw below sea level all of the west up to the lip of the crater on top of the island's volcano inn only two days. Kinda a whirlwind, but one we'd take again anytime!

We had a great stay at Forrest's place. It is a little outside of Paia and really close to a nice small beach. The apartment is good equipped. You will receive some useful information on what to do and where to go. We didn't meet Forrest in person but this was no problem since he gives detailed information on how to check in and he was always answering directly when we contacted him via airbnb. Mahalo!

I enjoyed the outdoor shower overlooking the West Maui mountains at 6:30am. Very clean and everything I needed for the night.

Great private lodging in cozy neighborhood. Thank you for the great hospitality!

Cassidy's place is charming and centrally located, perfect to explore around Lahania and west coast Maui. Cassidys place is enjoyably unique for the bathroom with the shower looking out to the mountains, which was much appreciated.

Nice area, at the end of the street in a residential area. Close to everything including beach. Parking. Clean and well thought out. Very friendly hosts. Great bathroom, one of a kind. Really get a flavor of Hawaii in this comfy abode. I would highly recommend for a single or couple.

We enjoyed our stay with Cassidy! She's very thoughtful in the way she sets up the room - from waters in the fridge to a basket with often-forgotten items. We were thankful for the beach towels! You can tell she puts a lot of thought into everything. With the windows open and the fans in the room, we stayed cool enough without having A/C. We enjoyed our stay! :)

This is the most wonderful place!! I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Maui. Cassidy was very helpful, nice, and very accommodating. Upon arrival, she gave us a tour of our place. She gave us water in the fridge, coffee, shampoo, conditioner, and a very comfortable bed. The room was very open and homey. The bathroom was wonderful with an amazing view of the mountains. Her home was comfortably located in between Lahaina town and The Ka'anapali resorts all of which were only 5 - 8 minutes away. No complaints at all - this place is a gem. If your looking to book an affordable place away from the resorts and tourist, this is the place for you! I will definitely book this place again and recommend it to anyone.

My wife and I had a great stay in Cassidy’s guest room. It had a great rustic yet upgraded feel. The outdoor bathroom added an extra hint of adventure. The neighborhood was safe and close to popular Lahaina favorites. Cassidy welcomed us upon arrival and shared tips for our stay. During the stay she changed our sheets and offered extra towels for showers and beach visits. Highly recommend for a couple seeking a cozy and clean alternative to the costly resorts of Maui.

Cassidy's place was perfect for us. Beautiful private room with this incredible outside bathroom and shower, definitely the coolest part of it. Very clean, organized, comfy. Perfect place to rest after adventures and plan for more. Too bad it is not big enough to come back with the entire family! Close to the beach, we went for a walk around the neighborhood. Loved it! Thanks!

My fiancée (now wife) and I throughly enjoyed our stay at Thomas's condo. The unit was exactly as advertised and made our experience in Maui truly magical. I could write forever about the suite, amenities, and view; however, what really made our stay special was Thomas's excellent service and very generous welcome package for our wedding week. We will not forget our stay at your unit and we both thank you very much for making our stay an incredible experience. I highly recommend this host and unit to anyone looking for the best vacation ever!

Thomas's communication was above and beyond. We didn't have any problems during our stay, but if we did I'm certain Thomas would've helped us out. The apartment is accurate to the pictures and the description. I would recommend Thomas's apartment to anyone who is staying in Maui!

Very nicely remodeled condo. Great location. Ideal for couple. Every necessity and then some provided in condo. Excellent value.

We LOVED staying at this condo at The Shores of Maui and Thomas was the PERFECT host. Thomas was very responsive and accommodating from the very first correspondence when we were deciding between the condo or a resort. We couldn't be happier with our decision to stay in the condo. We felt like locals and had everything we could've imagined within a short walk or drive, including various beautiful beaches. Thomas is very detailed and provided a list of suggested things to do on the island which was also helpful (especially coming from a local resident). The pictures in the listing are great but still don't do justice for the breathtaking views the moment you walk in the unit. The unit was also so clean which made us feel instantly at home. Thomas was always available with a quick response time and had everything organized and labeled which made it very easy to get settled in. We received a warm welcome with a post in note, some delicious chocolates and cold bottled water. We sat on the comfy lanai all week long and enjoyed the ocean breeze through the unit. We slept great in the big cozy king bed and had plenty of drawer space to unpack all of our items. The double shower was an added bonus as well. Wish we could move into this condo, we loved everything about it. This was by far my favorite Airbnb experience to date. Thanks again Thomas for a wonderful experience our first time in Maui. We hope to be back very soon!! Aloha and Mahalo!

Thomas is simply best host possible... ... quick and clear response on all the messages... No issues at all, perfect location near the beach & park... lot to do near by and at the condo... Pool, Tennis courts, speaker system setup was awesome... tons of storage space, wife loved the décor... the view... best of all convenient location for the activities...

Thomas was an excellent and responsive host. Everything was meticulously prepared for us, and the space was exactly as described. Could not have had a more ideal experience. For the price, this is one of the best places you could imagine staying anywhere in Hawaii.

This condo was beautiful and with the best view it has everything you would need. Thomas is a great host and helped out a lot. You will be in the middle of everything it was everything I imagined and more. Will be staying here again when I return to Maui.

The place was wonderful. I would go back in a heart beat.

I really enjoyed staying at Morgen's in Kihei. Kihei is a residential part of Maui so it's quiet without many tourists around which I enjoyed. It really felt like coming home as opposed to a hotel or resort. At the same time, it's centrally located so you have quick access to both the east and west sides of the island. The house itself has beautiful views of the water. Morgen was a great host. He organized a late check-in for me and was available for any questions I had our suggestions I needed. Thank you!!

Very peaceful, I would have loved to enjoy more of the house had I had the chance. Very easy check in and flexible arrangements.

Hana very nice stay. Loved the location, great quiet, clean place for an affordable price. Would totally stay again. Thanks Morgen!

Morgen is one of the most laid-back people I've ever met. But he's also one of the most attentive and gracious hosts I've ever met. He is open with his home, it's clean, quiet, warm and inviting, and he respects everyone's space. I didn't do any cooking but his kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cookware, and an awesome fridge if you need it. We had a car (plenty of parking) but there's also a bus stop within walking distance if you prefer. I look forward to staying with him on my next trip to Kihei.

Morgen was wonderful. He gave a lot of useful info about where to surf. Nice guy

Morgen's place was exactly as described. Nice atmosphere and welcoming. Close to beach. Morgen was very kind and have great recommendations for places to go and eat. Defintiely recommend and would stay again.

Morgan's home was a great convenient location close to the airport and beaches. Welcoming hosts.

Nice and clean room. Enough space for luggage. Beautiful view to the sea. Morgan and his girlfriend are Really nice and so friendly and helpful. Nothing to complain.

Awesome room and hosts. Tons of privacy and all needed amenities, great location, Lance was very nice and welcoming

Lance and Elaine were very nice. What a great island "local" experience. It was nice to have a washer and dryer available too. Bed was comfortable! Recommendations from them for restaurants and beaches were wonderful. A great way to have an affordable paradise vacation! Fresh mangos left out for us were awesome!

Lance and Elaine were great hosts, fun to talk to and very helpful. The room is private & comfortable, close to the beach. Nice yard.

The reservation was canceled 49 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Lance was great and treated us like family. We had a wonderful stay and would stay here again!

I stayed here because of the reviews and certainly they were spot on. Fantastic host! Great place and perfect side of the island. Couldn't ask for more!

It was a very nice room. Lance and Elaine were very hospitable and welcoming. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The bed was VERY comfortable, but high off the floor (due to storage of surf boards under the bed). So if you are vertically challenged like my wife and I, (we are both only 5' 10") be ready to step up into bed. For a comfortable, clean, nice place to stay, short walk to the beach all at a reasonable price, book this room! Ron

Lance and Elaine made us feel right at home. The place was packed with much needed beach amenities and they give us great suggestions for places to go visit. Thanks for the awesome hospitality. :) Helen and Wayne

The view is unbeatable. Never again will I book another vacation without a view. It really made our vacation listening to the waves every night. If you are someone that needs ac, maybe we didn't read carefully enough but there isn't any. However during the day we were out of the condo and at night it cooled down and we kept the doors open which produced a nice breeze (we normally keep our own house at 72-73 but we were super comfortable if that gives any reference). There isn't laundry detergent so if you plan on washing clothes you might want to pick some up. We cooked most nights we were there because there aren't a lot of restaurant choices and they do have a variety of pans etc. Final verdict: if we ever go back to Maui I would rearrange my dates to book this condo again. The view is that incredible.

We LOVED staying here. The views we're incredible, the apartment was renovated and clean, everything was easy to use and the location was very convenient yet we felt that we still had tons of privacy. Stephanie was great with communication and we felt very welcomed! All the helpful local tips in the apartment were wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a fantastic experience at the Moana Lani. Stephen couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The room was great, lovely comfy bed and loved cocktail hour on the deck! Stephen gave us some great tips for things to do around Lahaina and Maui and the use of the bikes and snorkel gear and amazing beach chairs was a great bonus to the already great location and accommodations. Would recommend the Moana Lani to anyone visiting Maui and will hopefully be able to make a return trip at some point.

A perfect retreat for a couple to enjoy each other's company along with others at breakfast and happy hour. The home is immaculate with a friendly and casual atmosphere. Privacy is observed as well.

We loved our stay here!! Though we only spent our last 24 hours at the Moana Lani, it really was one of the best parts of our 10 days in Maui. Stephen is so personable and friendly (and a great cook!). He made a few recommendations for dinner and activities close to the house and it was one of the best nights we had the whole time. We both wished we could have stayed longer. He has paddle boards, bikes, surfboards, spearfishing gear and more to use during the stay and he really knows what will make a great island experience. We felt like locals while trying each of his recommendations. I highly recommend staying here, and we wish to come back ourselves! Mahalo Stephen!

My stay at Stephens B&B was fantastic! It is close to all major shops and restaurants in Lahaina; Very convenient place. Stephen was very welcoming. He provided a small breakfast and drinks and cake in the afternoon. Best, he offers any gear needed for the beach (scuba, surfboards, etc) while staying at his place. Super comfortable bed. I would definitely book again. Thanks for the great stay!

Stephen has an amazing AirBnB! The bed was great and he was so helpful and gave us great tips. We loved the beach towels, chairs, bikes, and SUPs.

Stephen is a great host. He takes pride in his home and gives his best to his guests. Although we saw him only a few times, he was like a little elf who just took care of you. One day after being at the beach, we left our wet beach towels out on some chairs and the next time we went out they were replaced with fresh ones. Fresh breakfast was out anytime You wanted in the morning and a delicious adult beverage and sweet goodie was out each night. Plenty of bikes were available to ride up and down Front St. It was so much fun! Stephen has anything you may need for the beach, surf board, snorkeling great, etc. And be sure to ask him for recommendations. He knows! Enjoy!

Stephen was an amazing host and we wish we booked his room for longer. Moana Lani was 10 times better than any hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated and the entire place exuded the aloha spirit. He goes above and beyond in hospitality. We especially loved the cocktail hour and desserts. The fresh fruit and bagels were an added bonus. He has SUP, bikes, and anything else your need for a day trip or adventure. Ideal location for anyone who wants to experience Lahaina's charm and beautiful sunsets. Staying here was definitely a highlight for our trip to Maui.

A wonderful two night stay at Stephen's B&B. Stephen greeted us and was always helpful during our stay. Thankfully from the hustle of Lahania town centre, very walkable back. Would stay again.

The house was great, it had everything we needed and was so close to all of the best beaches, easily walkable to Kahana Beach too.

We loved our stay! In a quiet residential neighborhood, but within minutes of beautiful beaches to the north and south. The place was lovely with boogie boards and surf boards to use, as well! :) We cooked every night and the kitchen was great. Would highly recommend for a couple.

Small but very nice space in a quiet neighbourhood. The place can host four if necessary, but is not recommended as space would be limited. Has all necessary amenities, except an AC. While we stayed there the weather was cool and just leaving the windows open a crack was enough so we didn't miss it. As long as you have a car, it is close to all the West Maui beaches and centres while still being a very good price. Although Emelyn was away while we were there she answered our messages promptly and was very nice. Strongly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay here and I would recommend it 10/10. The unit has everything you need and the location is perfect for exploring Maui's west side. Emelyn was a gracious host and made our stay extremely enjoyable. Would definitely come again!

The location was excellent for us. Close enough to everything but not in the middle of all the resorts. Be sure to heed to the advice of others as far as the ants - everything in zip locks or the frig. Its very private and we were very comfortable. We would recommend this unit!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend. The place was perfect for us, very clean, with a kitchen so we could make breakfast every morning. We loved the location, after a long day of adventuring or sun burning (me) or tanning (her) it was a nice to come back to a quiet home to relax at.

Everything was exactly as described. Clean, neat in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Lots of great things to do nearby. Definitely a great experience. Neatly decorated. Very comfortable.

This place was tucked away and felt very private. There wasn't a ton within walking distance, but it was a central location in between Lahaina and Kapalua. Definitely bring ziploc bags to put your food in - soooooo many ants. I also had to save my husband from a cockroach, but I guess that's just island life. :) I didn't have much interaction with Emelyn but her uncle Derek lives nearby and was super helpful and a really nice guy happy to show off his fruit trees.

This was my first stay using Airbnb and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. After other accommodations fell through, I was able to book quickly with Annie and I had a safe, reasonable, warm, and welcoming home to stay in. The loft space I stayed in was quite roomy and had an air conditioner, making warm Maui nights comfortable. I had my own private bathroom downstairs and Annie made sure I always had clean towels and necessities. The condo is in a gated community and boasts two pools, a tennis court, and access to a private beach. The condo is about a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Lahaina (Front Street) and access to shopping and several beaches. Annie was a gracious and kind host who went out of her way to make my stay wonderful and memorable and I can't wait to plan a return trip!

Annie is a great host and goes beyond what the requirments are! She is personable and provides a home-like experience. If you need any advice she has a life full of knowledge for suggestions on what to do and where to go! The location is amazing and the pool is an incredible bonus. Highly recommend this stay! (And the dog is a pure gem, he adds a special twist)

Thank you so much for our wonderful stay on Maui, Annie!! If you are looking for an accommodation close to Lahaina, Annie is a great choice. She has many tips in which concerns activities on the island and moreover she is a very warm-hearted, kind and open minded person. We really enjoyed our time at your place and definitely felt like home. Her house is located in a very nice village right next to the ocean. It's a beautiful place. Also, we loved spending time with Annie (and Rio). We hope to see you some day in Germany or on Maui :)

We spent four nights at Annie’s place. She is a wonderful host, warm, welcoming, and sharing! She’s an artist and her place truly reflects that. She has a very well-trained dog, Rio; it was a lot of fun playing with him. Though we like renting a place of our own, staying with a local turned out to be a great decision. Annie showed us the best beaches and the best snorkeling areas we possibly wouldn’t have found. We saw so many turtles, it was amazing! The only thing that was perhaps not up to our standard was the mattress but our host went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, which made up for it. The condo is in a gated community with great amenities: pools and a small private beach in a beautifully manicured environment, just a five-minute drive away from downtown. If you like an eclectic, beachy, artisty place with a welcoming host, this is the one! Thank you Annie!

Amazing property! Everything about this place was on point. We will defiantly come back :)

Rita and Neil's guesthouse was wonderful. We wanted a clean and convenient guest house to Halaeakalā Volcano and the Hana drive. Met all of our expectations and would recommend to other guests. Nice to explore Makawao and Paia. Rita was out of town and Neil was available at all times. Thank You.

This beautiful, newly remodeled ohana is a quiet and very comfortable place to stay. Well equipped kitchen, good location, with cool nights and amazing sunsets. Neil and Rita communicated well and were available immediately when required for questions. Great place, great hosts, highly recommended.

What a great location for a Maui Getaway! My wife and I were very pleased with the communication, location, and accomodations provided by Will. Every email and text that I sent to Will prior to and during our stay was answered promptly and accurately. It's a great feeling knowing that your host is so readily available especially to a first time AirBnB'er like me. The location of Will's unit is very convenient to stores, restaurants, beaches, and watering holes whether you are walking, riding, or driving. The beach is literally across the street from the complex. The ABC store is a block away, and restaurants and watering holes are within walking distance even for an old guy like me! The unit is a compact but efficient one bedroom with everything you need to move in. Will has provided beach gear, including chairs and towels for your convenience, along with tennis rackets if you want to use the courts right outside your front door. The complex itself is very well maintained, along with being quiet and close to the parking area for your vehicle. Finally, pricing was great, and you get a fantastic value for your money. Many thanks for allowing us to utilize your unit, and I look forward to our next visit to Kihei, hopefully as guests of Will again!

Can't beat the location of this condo for Kihei. One can roll out of bed, cross the street and be on the beach. The condo was clean and comfortable, and a great retreat at the end of a long day on the water. It is right next door to cafes and shopping and only about a ten minute walk to the boat harbor. Will's check in and check out was seamless and I would recommend this stay!

Great place in Kihei! Comfortably slept 4. We spent most of our time outdoors, but it was a super convenient and comfortable place to come back to at night.

Nice little apartment, as described. Good neighborhood with several eateries within walking distance and a fantastic beach one block away. Check-in and out were easy.

Will's apartment was a perfect location in Maui! Kihei is perfect for traveling to different parts of the island, it's centrally located. The neighborhood was quiet but close to shops, restaurants and right across the street was beach! The apartment was clean and comfortable it slept 5 of us comfortably. Will always responded to my emails quickly--making communication between us easy. I highly recommend staying here on your trip to Maui!

We loved staying at Will's condo in Kihei. It was walking distance to almost everything. Just taking a short walk across the street to watch the sunset at Kamaole Beach was wonderful. He has everything you need, including for the beach and snorkeling. The sea turtles were near the lava rocks at Kamaole Beach Park III, which is just south of the condo. The condo's complex is very quiet and clean. Will was available via text or phone and we would love to stay at any of his listings in the future. It was difficult to leave for sure!

Great place, thank You very much. We enjoyed our time in Maui a lot!

Ours is a complicated story, but at the end what is left is that Will acted in the common way that we expect from the worst corporate greedsters. Our original reservation was cancelled by the host 48 hours before our flight to Maui. Airbnb was great in trying to help us find something else. They sent us links to a few places that were available. That link showed Will's place to be $135 a night on the Airbnb site which was cheaper than our original reservation which had been $200 a night. I was happy to find soomething quickly that was supposedly cheaper and happy to be getting money back! Will was not able to confirm our reservation until we were in the air going to Maui so we got off the plane to find that we had been accepted and I speedily accepted the request which, at the bottom of the fees tally said +500$. Well it turns out that somehow the price of Will's place had actually gone up to $275 a night! and I owed that money instead. I certainly should have looked more closely to figure that out, but you can see why it didn't in my thinking. However, in only a few minutes, I did go back to check; to my horror. I immediately asked Will to cancel since we just couldn't afford another $500. Mind you, he had had the reservation for only a very few hours at most. He refused, insisting on a 50% loss which would add up to $1000 to cancel. He says he had to do alot to get the reservation, but we all know that only means he had to make several phone calls since he isn't even on site. We had another And then, here is my favorite part. He switched the condos on us and put my girlfriend in I on our romantic trip to Maui in a condo with two single beds. Maybe he overlooked that? By that point we were exhausted by the stress of trying to find something and didn't complain. The place was built to very middle class standards in the 70's and hasn't been updated except for some minor things to the kitchen done in the cheapest way possible. The snorkel and boogie boards mentioned by the other reviews weren't there either. So we paid twice what the listing showed as the price for a place that was anything but nice enough to warrant that price. Airbnb told me that if I would have checked on the availability of the place on the listing, the price would have then doubled for me from the 135 listed. Since I wasn't looking in the normal way I didn't see this. That is no one's fault maybe, but I believe Will preyed on us in a tough situation when I asked him to simply cancel the reservation that he had only had for a couple hours tops. And.... Two. Single. Beds.

After several substandard accomodations on our Hawaii trip, Art&Lynette's studio was very pleasant change for the last 3 days of our travel. It is as nice as in the pictures, very tasteful furniture, a huge four-poster bed and nice finish. The cottage is a separate building that hosts two studios and is located on their large grounds and tasteful gardens surrounding their own house. From the porch one has a beautiful view over part of the island that we enjoyed every morning at breakfast (and one night watching an hour-long thurderstorm that had built up on Haleakala). Half-way up the slopes of Haleakala it has an extremely pleasant climate for Hawaii and no aircondition is needed. The cottage is far from all the crazy Maui tourism and resorts and beaches which is exactly what we wanted. If you plan to go hiking on Haleakala (which we did), this is basically as close as you can get accomodation-wise, but it's also only 30min down to Kahului and several nice dining options are within ~15min driving. Arthur and Lynette were extremely helpful and welcoming, gave us lots of recommendations all over the island and always had time for a chat. Breakfast was great and different every morning. Would have really loved to stay longer. We cannot recommend it highly enough and would certainly come back next time on Maui. We wish Arthur and Lynette all the best and hope to meet again one day! Christina & Antonio

I am almost hesitant to provide a review as my sister and I wanted to keep this amazing place to ourselves! ;) However, it would be the least my sister and I could do as they were SPECTACULAR!!!!!! So, Maui was the second stop on trip through the Hawaiian islands. When reached their house my sister and I were welcomed as if we were a friends of the family. We stayed for three days and were given a key to the cottage so we could come and leave as we pleased. Also, every single morning we were made breakfast and it was 5 star, where the coffee flow-ith-ed freely and the food was so good that I could not stop myself to second and even third helpings! They also had a fresh set of towels for our beach trips and lent their snorkling gear to us. They were just so awesome When my sister and I are to ever head back to Maui, we would definitely stay with them again. However, if they were booked, we would be sure to swing by and say hello again as they were so awesome

Art and Lynette were very welcoming and met me upon arrival to show me to the cottage. Very friendly, responsive people with a beautiful property in Kula (about 40 minutes upcountry from the airport). The cottage is surrounded by lush greenery. It's clean, tastefully furnished, private, and quiet, with a view of the ocean. I had a lovely breakfast on the lanai brought by Lynette which makes life much nicer if you're a breakfast person. There are stairs up to the cottage entrance but Art was kind to carry my bag up for me. If you want a taste of Maui away from touristaville, where you're still within easy driving distance to the whole island, this is a fabulous spot.

Art and Lynette were warm and welcoming from our first inquiry to our final Aloha. Their property has a speculate view and lovely gardens

What a wonderful retreat after a busy day driving the road to Hana and hiking the Pipiwai trail, or after a day spent going down (and up!) the Sliding Sands Trail at Haleakala National Park! We thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at Art and Lynette's bed and breakfast. Our room was beautifully furnished and the view from the lanai was breathtaking--especially at sunset. Our hosts were friendly, informative and helpful (The beach chairs and umbrella they loaned us made our day at the beach so much more comfortable!). Our time upcountry in Kula was memorable, and Art and Lynette's hospitality made it all the more so! Many thanks!

We arrived at Art and Lynnette's cottage later than scheduled due to a flight delay but were early greeted by Art as we pulled up to their private driveway. Lynette has been so diligent and responsive throughout our stay from the time of booking--a quality that shows she cares about her guests. It was no surprise that they stayed up late to greet us and show us around their cottage. The space itself was beautifully appointed with quality amenities and bedding. What was even better was the view we woke up to. Absolutely serene and breathtaking. Art saw that my fiancé was a golfer from the clubs in our rental car and was gracious enough to invite him to a round of golf. Lynnette even made us breakfast, delicious hot banana pancakes accompanied by fresh cut fruit that she stocked in our fridge. We enjoyed our stay and admired the details that were put into creating such a peaceful environment. The bathroom's beveled glass looking out to lush greenery was amazing. Perfect stay and warm hosts! We hope to be back next year.

One of our Hawaii favourites! Art and Lynnette are simply supersweet, left us even a honeymoon card in the room. Hale Sweet Hale is beautifully located, with a stunning view over a half of Maui and a 'wow-garden'. Mahalo once more!!!

We enjoyed our stay with Art and Lynette and the delicious breakfasts we were served and were very responsive to our needs and requests. The view from the lanai was spectacular. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and the quiet Upcountry affords is soothing. Kula is a quiet little Hawaiian town, with the botanical gardens and lavender farm very nearby.

Every detail was attended to in an effort to make the stay a wonderful experience. The accommodations were beautiful, clean, reasonably priced, and the location was convenient to pre- and post-activities for our daughter's wedding.

Fantastic location and Jim was great at communicating quickly and made the whole experience very smooth. The Condo was very clean and well presented. It is is a fantastic location, close to beach and shops with nice pools and security on site. I would recommend this as a great base to explore Maui.

Great quality and host!

Jim's place was amazing. Everything listed and then some. Conveniently located with great beaches just seconds away. The house was immaculate with a ton of essentials provided. We had 5 adults, 1 child in our party and it was the perfect size for a week's stay in beautiful Maui. We would definitely recommend this condo to our friends and family.

Jim's place is as great as all the reviews I read before I booked. The location is so convenient to shopping, restaurants and beaches. The condo itself is decorated beautifully with Hawaiian themes. It's cozy and very comfortable for 4 adults and 4 kids. The pool and hot tub are a treat after several hours at the beach. Parking is right in front of the condo. There are plenty of towels and beach equipment. The whole process from booking online to finding the condo was very easy. If you're looking for a great place to stay in Maui I highly recommend Jim's place.

We had a wonderful stay in Wailea courtesy of Jim. His condo is one of the most tastefully decorated and well-appointed that we have stayed in anywhere. Huge master bedroom and good sized 2nd and 3rd bedrooms (one with Queen, one with two twin beds). Great living space with a large lanai. Well supplied kitchen with everything that you could need if you want to cook in. Parking right outside the door, walking distance to Ulea beach and a short drive to other beaches, great shopping and superb restaurants. Jim couldn’t have been more friendly and easier to talk with, and was very accommodating of our travel schedule being a little out of sync with his standard check-in/out times. Jim’s was one of the best places we have had the privilege of staying at and we highly recommend it

This condo is very spacious, decorated in good taste. The view is spectacular! A cup of coffee in the morning sitting out on the lanai was priceless! They also have all the amenities needed for the beach! It is very clean and located in a close proximity to shops, market and beaches!

Great condo for a family getaway! Very clean, convenient location and comfortable accommodations! Beautiful view - great hosts!
