Great location, close to the airport. It is an amazing place to stay, in a not touristy place and you will be escaping from city living - which was perfect for us! You will sleep in a big and very comfy bed. You can make breakfast and eat take away food in the rum. The hosts are very welcoming and helpfull if you need anything. Highly recommend staying here!

We had an amazing time in Maui at this listing! Thank you Shannon and Michelle!

Shannon and Michelle, have a great landing spot for Maui adventures

we are so happy of have stayed in his home. Is beautiful, spacious and near the market. Shanon and his family are very lovely and always help us in things that we need (towels, beach chair, etc)The room was very clean and has a freezer which is amazing.

This was exactly what we were looking for. It's a cozy little unit with a comfortable bed and decent shower. Having the lawn chairs to use was a bonus. We used them to watch the sunset at Mt Haleakala.

Shannon's place it's very nice, clean and affordable. Perfect location ... The bed it's super comfortable and I had everything I needed it. Over all it's great place to stay with a very nice host! Mahalo

beautiful apartment, ideally located in Maui the hosts are super nice. there against by not cooking facilities.

The location was perfect, few minutes drive to the center of town with shops and food, five minute walk to the beach, about 15 min from the airport, Iao Valley and hiking trails! Michelle and her family were excellent hosts and very response with questions and coordinating. The space itself is perfect for two people, it's clean, beautifully decorated and the king sized bed is the most comfortable bed i've ever slept on! Unfortunatly I only spent two nights here as I had to fly back to the mainland but I would highly recommend this space, it's clean, cozy, in a perfect location and Michelle and her family were great hosts, I wish we had more time together!

Really clean and tidy space. Perefect ammenities. We'd definitely stay again! Anthony is very good at communication.

This was a very nice apartment. The living room looks beautiful, though a little small. But the bedrooms are spacious with good closet space. It was very clean, and they even provided beach towels and such, which was more than expected. Anthony also provided coffee, coffeemaker, creamer etc. And packets of oatmeal, hot chocolate, and even a bottle of wine. This is beyond what I've seen at most airbnb's. It was very convenient for breakfast. Since it is a residential location, you need to drive out about 5 minutes to close-by restaurants. In spite of this, I highly recommend Anthony's place!

Anthony's place is nice. Small but well equipped and nicely finished. We didn't use the kayaks but the beach chairs, towels, cooler, and snorkels were awesome. There is an electric 2 burner porta-range you can use to cook, coffee, sugar, microwave, plates, cups, utensils, a few pans, some snacks, beer and wine. It can get a little noisy as the windows need to stay open (no AC) and they face the street. The only time this was really a problem was on garbage day, and only because it woke the kiddo up. All in all, a great place though, perfect for a couple or a family of 3 that plans to be out and about all day and come back just to sleep (why else would you be in Maui?)

Highly recommended!!!! We were thrilled. Great location, clean, everything well organized, well equipped!

We spend a great time in this lodging! It was very clean and a lodging in a warm atmosphere! And the host was very helpful with all our questions and problems! We could recommend this offer to all guest which visit Maui! Roland and Kim from Switzerland

Very clean two bedrooms.

This place is centrally located, making going every going to every place of interest convenient. Although it does not have direct beach view, it surely making going to Hana, Mt Haleakala, Iao valley state monument, waihee ridge trail & all the east and south beaches easier than staying at one end of the island and trying to go to the other end. Anthony kept the place nice and neat, offered complimentary wine, beer, chips, tea, coffee etc. All the warm touch make us feel at home. Anthony was very efficient in communication and dealing with any issues. The fire alarm's battery ran low and Anthony replaced it in a timely manner; the Netflix TV stopped working and Anthony made it work immediately. He's definitely the kind of host who would leave you space if you need and be a text or call away if you want. The place also offer 2 beach chairs and beach towel and one set of snorkeling gear for use. How awesome is that!!! Anyway, I would definitely stay there again!!!

We were very happy with our stay. Anthony is a great communicator!

Larry and Jacque are seriously some of the most wonderful people on Earth. They go above and beyond to make your stay great. For the stay, you have a private entrance and the whole downstairs of their house to yourself! The bedroom was very comfortable (it had a desk, dressers, closet to hang things in, queen bed and flatscreen TV!!) The bathroom was great and is right next to the bedroom (it had fresh towels, toiletries, first aid kit, and more). They also have "hospitality room" where there had a mini fridge stocked with waters and other drinks as we'll as some snacks. There's also plenty of plastic silverware, napkins, cups + lids, trash bags and more for your use. Plus, there's a microwave, eating table, conventional oven, and a Kureig! And they had plenty of coffee + creamer and teas that they restock daily for you along with a fresh water jug! Also, they let us use their ice chest, beach chairs, towels, and beach umbrella to take along with us throughout our entire stay (that saved us so much money!!). And they had a whole section of magazines, tour brochures, and printed articles about things to do on the island! You could honestly arrive with no plans whatsoever and they would direct you on all the cool places to go! For us, we happened to come to Maui with an itinerary that was planned out by the hour. Although, the weather was abnormally rainy/stormy and following our itinerary would've gotten us stranded and ruined our trip. Once Larry and Jacque realized that, they offered to help us go through our itinerary and rearrange it based on what the weather permitted. The end result was that we were able to do everything planned for our trip and not get rained out, and it was all because of their help! Overall, it is obvious that Larry and Jacque truly care that you have a great stay in Maui and will do everything in their power to ensure that. Honestly, my boyfriend and I are committed and will stay with them anytime we come back to Maui cause they are so great! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! P.S.: The area the live in is great, it's so close to the beach that you can sleep to the sound of the ocean! And you have a glass sliding door that you can lock slightly opened to hear the ocean through the night and still be safe! Plus a screen door to keep the bugs out!

Lawrence and Jackie were absolutley wonderful! Their home is beautiful and the view is amazing! We had such a nice stay, my boyfriend and I just went for three nights and we felt like we were staying with family. They were so nice and genuine, very very helpful on what to do and where to go depending on what you were looking to do. We did everything they recommeneded and it was wonderful. They had everything available for you beach chairs, mats, beach towels and a cooler if you need. As well as a kitchen set up with snacks, coffee and drinks avlaible for you which was really nice. The location is great it's a short drive from the airport and we got everywhere we wanted to go in an hour or less. They are both absolutley lovely to talk to and spend some time with. This was our first trip to Maui and we are very happy we could stay with Jackie and Lawrence. They have everything you need for a short or long trip, easy access to come and go. We were highly satisfied and I would highly recommend staying with them to anyone!

Clean, comfortable, quiet. Loved falling asleep listening to the waves and waking up seeing the humpback whales. Very nice hosts!

Larry and Jacque have a wonderful place. As another reviewer mentioned- I have to agree the bed is quite comfortable! They are very responsive and accommodating! The best part is watching the sunrise from the ocean without even getting out of bed! Thank you for everything!

Larry and Jacque are great hosts and were exceptionally kind to us. Their lanai is wonderful and Larry let us use his beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler without even asking. They enjoy having guests in their house and Buckeye, the Dauschhound - Terrier mix dog is a sweetheart! After leaving Larry's wonderful home we camped in several locations about the island and always reminisced of his house. The room itself is very private, separate entrance, separate floor, and even separate living room/kitchenette space. We would happily return to Larry's home next time we're in Maui if for nothing else but the conversation. Thanks for everything!

Everything was super great! We really felt like home. Everything was well prepare for us. We even had a room for our breakfast and Lawrence even provide us with water, juice, coffee, fruit .... it was really good everything. Lawrence and his wife were excepcional they explain us really good places to go and they were really kind. They were always available and there in case we need something. The house and the place were amazing.I will definitely repeat with them again. 100% happy!

Larry & Jacque where great! Larry was a great resource for island information including where to catch a charter. They have lots of helpful books & maps available too. Buckeye's goodnights where definitely a sweet part of our stay!

Jacque and Larry are definitely the amongst the most wonderful airbnb hosts you will ever come across. They are a very warm couple and make you feel at home. Our visit to their place is very special. I proposed to my girlfriend during the visit and I had informed Larry and Jacque about my plans. When I returned home that evening, they had decorated the room with candles, balloons and flowers. Larry even burned a CD for us with Hawaiian love songs and had it playing by the time we arrived. It was just the perfect surprise for my girlfriend. I can't thank them enough for their wonderful gesture. Their place is very clean, comfy and is right by the beach. A lot of other reviewers have said wonderful things about their place and I can vouch for all of it. I will definitely go back to stay with them on my next trip to Maui. Jacque and Larry, thank you for being such wonderful hosts !

Host made us feel welcome, description was accurate, and the neighborhood is a quiet suburban community. There isn't much to walk to but that is okay. We really appreciates being able to borrow some beach stuff like bookie boards an umbrella. The space was incredibly clean and very cozy. Bathroom was a good size and it was well stocked. I didn't have any complaints about our stay.

George and Lisa's place is great! Walking distance to the beach! Fell asleep to the crashing waves. The kitchettette is a bit small but it worked out just fine for my wife and I. We microwaved leftovers, had a small fridge to store our food, had a small coffee maker, a small toaster oven, and pretty good sized electric tea kettle. The location was pretty centralized from Wailea, Lahaina, and pretty close to Paia. Overall, it was clean, quiet, and lovely for our first time in Maui~

This was my favorite stay during my time here in Maui! The home is located in a residential area, and it is very quiet. It is easy to go to bed as soon as the sun goes down and wake up as the sun rises. The stars are easily visible on this part of the island. The house was beautiful. It was decorated in a matter where I felt like family was having me stay over. Movies and a television are provided if you plan to turn in early and order a pizza. Also, they were very quick with responses whenever I needed anything. 120% accommodating and friendly. I would definitely come back and reserve a stay with them in the future.

Nice place, clean and really close to the beach.

My son and I had a great stay here. Everything was perfect! George and Lisa were very helpful.

I booked this spot for my aunt and grandma and they LOVED it!!! Wonderful spot, good for getting everywhere. One level which worked very well for my eldest guests:)

Beautiful home. We had a wonderful experience and Lisa was an amazing and helpful host. Thank you!

Thank you Lisa for the lovely rental and being so helpful! For the price, the amenities in the condo are so much better than staying at a hotel. It's a great central location from which to explore the rest of Maui. My mom very much enjoyed her 77th birthday party and luau. I hope to return to Maui soon.

Eric and Nick are fantastic hosts who provide really nice accommodations at a killer price! My boyfriend and I stayed here for about a week and we loved the experience. Not only did they provide us with a clean, spacious room and bathroom, they also made us feel like their friends. On our second night, they even invited us to have a BBQ with their neighbors, something that ended up being one of our favorite experiences of our trip. We also loved the location. It was great being in a local neighborhood where there were great places to eat (at much lower prices than the rest of the island) and where you were pretty centrally located to everything you would want to do on the island. Thank you for hosting us! We hope to return one day soon!

We had such a great time here! We loved the room and the view. Everything was like the pictures showed. The house was very easy to find and we always had a place where we could park. It was very quiet in the house. Eric and Nick are very friendly and helpful hosts and helped us making this trip unforgetable. Mahalo

It's a nice place to stay by the ocean, hearing the waves crashing. Well equipped kitchen, good WiFi, friendly people. Got to interact a lot with Eric and his girlfriend. They are warm and welcoming. Got to meet Nick just a day before we were leaving. Place is pretty much close to everything. Strongly recommend the place to anyone who is looking for ocean view but can adjust to bachelor's place.

This was a great home base to explore the north coast. There is no direct beach access from the property, but there is a surfing spot and beach three doors down (and a great shaded lawn on which to relax and listen to the waves). Waiehu and Wailuku are a short drive away. Our hosts, Nick and Eric, are great guys - very helpful, hospitable, and easy to talk to. They had great recommendations and made us feel at home.

Where do we start? My friend Lexie and I stayed at Eric and Nick's place and we couldn't have asked for better hosts. We were accommodated the minute we stepped foot through the door. The room had a comfy bed, big attached bathroom and plenty of storage for our clothes and belongings. We were given full access to the washer and dryer, kitchen and pool table. Waking up and watching sea turtles playing in the backyard was an amazing experience; and relaxing in the afternoon on the hammock as the day ended was truly magical. Eric and Nick took great care of us; introducing us to their friends, showing us around the island and even taking us to a random Katy Perry concert on the beach! I'd definitely stay here again! Anyone who would pass up this great place with these awesome guys is a fool!

This is my second time staying at Nick's place and it was just as great as the first time, if not better! Nick and Eric are both really kind people, who went out of their way to give us recommendations, and also hooked us up with a boat trip. We felt completely at home at their place, and would love to stay here again on our next trip to Maui.

Would definitely recommend Eric and Nick's place. Great room and shared area, super scenic and central location. Hosts are awesome and down to earth--invite you into their home as friends. Exceeded expectations.

Wake up, stretch, and walk out the back door to a beautiful ocean front experience! Eric was a great host, super easy to work with. The room was perfect for our needs.

Robin's house was clean and had an amazing view! He was quick and responsive to our request. Very close to the airport so it made arrival and departure a snap. Was a pleasure! Aloha!

We felt very welcome at Robin's home and got also a lot of tips for the trips on the island. Nice quiet place to stay and enjoy the view over the Pacific!

Robin really did all that was needed to welcome us and to make us feel good! We got good tips & tricks to finding a nice restaurant (Paia has real good fish-restaurants, ask Robin for the directions!). He also advised us to wake up early for the incredible sunrise! We were happy!

Robins' house had a great view of the ocean from the main rooms of the house. Robin was available with good suggestions for things to do in the area, but you often had the house to yourself. Robin was a great host, friendly and helpful. Though the town of Wailuku did not offer a lot of activities, we found several hikes and scenic drives in the immediate area, and it is not too far from some of the more touristy areas where there is more to do.

Robin was so nice and welcoming! His place is so clean and comfortable. He provides things for your stay that many people won't. He was such a breathe of fresh air. We loved our stay there and would recommend it to anyone!

Robin was an excellent host with his place being very close to the airport and easy to get to. Robin provided excellent suggestions and tips on what to check out on the island along with some hidden gems off the beaten path. Would highly recommend!

Robin is an amazing host and was super helpful! The house is incredible - I could sit on the lanai watching the surf forever! Thanks for making my Maui trip great.

Robin was extremely nice, welcoming, informative and even picked us up from the airport when we arrived. His home was inviting, clean, & well maintained. It had a perfect view of the beach which was literally a 10 minute walk away. The room we stayed in was small & cozy. Bathroom was clean and stocked with fresh shower towels and everything else. Access to wifi & all kitchen appliances as well. On the day of our check out, Robin let us stay a bit past check out time because my girlfriend and I didn't have to be at the airport for a few hours and we didn't have any other place to go. Thanks again Robin!

What a great place! Very convenient location, yet secluded and private. The house was immaculate, and beautiful! My family had their dream stopover vacation on Maui to end our Hawaiian vacation - we wish we had spent our whole time here. We'll definitely be back next year. A+++

WOW! This has been my best AirBNB experience...EVER! The pictures don't do it justice. The place is a true Hawaiian paradise. The house is a huge property full of fruit trees and a stream that runs through it. There is a great place to just relax and listen to the birds, water and breeze. We got coconuts and mangoes straight from trees on the property. The location feels like you are completely secluded, yet is only minutes from it all. Sarah is an amazing host. She is better than a hotel concierge. She gave us hiking tips, told us where to find the best beaches and even recommended great restaurants. Nice that the place has extras like a barbecue, beach chairs and a bike to use. We have been to Hawaii several times and for the first time it felt local and authentic. A magical trip all-around. This is the Hawaii of everyone's dreams. You will not be disappointed.

Convenient location, amazing deck view, impeccably clean, and comfortable shared home space!! Jeanne was kind and generous with her time and recommendations on best ways to explore the island. Honestly it's one of the best air b&b experiences I've had to date, would highly recommend to anyone planning a visit to Maui! : )

Jeanne's home is peaceful and beautiful. Her guest room is private and very comfortable. Her guest bed is perfect. I had my own private bath and full use of the kitchen. Her location is central to anywhere you want to go on Maui. Jeanne helped me in terms of where to go and what to do.

Great place for the price. I like the tours offered everyday.

Good spot with chill people. Cute little place in Maui. It is a bit far from the beach but nonetheless a special place :)

The staff made the place friendly. Staff mingled, plenty of community activities; darts, hot tub, pool table, group beer pong, tv/couches, kitchen with pieced together utensils. Met two different people and did day trips with each, great hangout.

Banana Bungalow was awesome. The people that work there are really friendly and know the area well, and the daily excursions are rad. I highly recommend Sunday Funday and snorkeling at Black Rock beach. It's like any hostel- not as much privacy and kinda wild sometimes but great for people who enjoy hostel living and are traveling through. I plan to return someday soon.

Upstairs gets very very hot and humid.

it was a great stay at this place, def recommended for travelers looking for fun and meeting new people.

TL;DR If you're a hardcore party person, you'll quite likely enjoy it. If you aren't, there's a good chance you'll feel very out of place and uncomfortable. Banana Bungalow, as an international hostel, caters to many travelers, especially many Europeans. It's an excellent place to meet other young adults from many backgrounds and cultures. I met some from Germany, Denmark, Canada, and Switzerland, to name a few. It's a very central party location that had a differently themed party every night I was there. If you're a hardcore party person, you'll love it. However, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere (like me), you certainly would want to think twice before booking--or at least try to get a private room instead of a shared dorm. Thankfully, quiet hours are indeed enforced. I realize that many people have had good experiences at this hostel, but I think that they also have different expectations about being there, including but not limited to enjoying late nights, parties, the smell of smoke everywhere outside, and drunken people everywhere when it's late. I preferred to sleep (especially still being very jet lagged!). I'm really not a party girl and felt very uncomfortable with some of the things that went on around me. If I had the knowledge beforehand, I would have chosen a private room instead of a shared dorm. Being the only girl in my room (3 other men) made me uncomfortable as well, but what threw it over the top for me was walking in to my room one night to a couple who clearly just hooked up at a party, starting foreplay *on my bed*. Not cool. I checked out after that, one night early. It was also very unpleasant to be woken up each of the three nights I was there by the other men in my room carelessly, noisily banging around and/or loudly talking in the middle of the night. Other positive aspects include: -easy walking access to downtown/bus stop -communal kitchen -4 private showers/bathrooms upstairs -daily group tours either for free or a nominal charge -enforced quiet hours Weigh out all the info and make your choice! It could be a fantastic place for you, or it may not be your cup of tea, as it was for me. Aloha!

Such a great place to meet fellow travelers. Upon arriving the hosts introduced be to a few other travelers and it was easy to find conversation and make new friends. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms, you're never waiting in line for one. Lots of outlets for any electronics. Close to a public bus, super cheap way to get around most of the island. But the best was the common area, even raining it was busy and there were tons of way to stay engaged and make new friends. Highly recommend.

I had a great two night stay here, we enjoyed beautiful mountain views from the front porch and ocean views right from the bedroom. I was pleasantly surprised at how big of a space we had for something that is advertised as a private room. It was a separate apartment with a bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom all to ourselves. The surrounding town doesn't have a lot of touristy things to do so we mainly went out in Kihei which was not a bad drive. Overall the apartment was very comfortable and clean with great views and a nice host. Would recommend.

Cozy little mini apartment right next to the water. If you want to experience the local living this is the perfect spot. Just steps to the water and the neighbors were really friendly. My BF was flying his drone and made some friends with the locals. During our night strolls they'd call out his name just to say hi! Pretty cute. There's a local market down the street so its pretty convenient. I never saw it open but we were there during a holiday weekend so maybe they were just enjoying the holiday. The rooms were decent size with a mini kitchen that provided the essentials (mini stove, microwave, pots, pans...etc) they had a really nice fridge but for some reason it kept reading error so we had to restart it several times. Bathroom was decent. The toilet paper handle kept falling on me..lol. Heitiare was VERY responsive and welcoming! I would definitely come back and recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the local living!

Nice family Cute kids Good value Very Near the ocean Also close to a couple great hikes

We had a great time at this place, which was spacious, clean and well equiped. Also easy to commute.

The apartment was beautifull and clean. Heitiare was really helpfull. Great place, close to airport.

Heitiare is a very friendly and easy host. She live with her family direct next to the unit. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We found everything we need and it was clean.

My family and I really enjoyed are stay. The view was amazing, and our host took care of our needs. Thanks again guys for the hospitality!! MAHALO!!!

A conveniently located room close to the airport and several other attractions in Maui. The rooms were clean and well air conditioned (important). Would happily stay here again

Heather was very kind to accept our really last minute request, and they did everything to make us comfortable in their house in a so short notice! Thank you so much for having us!

This is a great place! Conveniently located 15 minutes away from the Airport with a bus stop just in front of the house. The house was always clean, ventilated and with really cool (vintage) decor. The best part were the hosts: Juan, the manager, is an awesome person who's always willing to help and always cleaning and doing something PLUS gave us some treats while there (fruit, iced tea, chocolates, etc.). I'll definitely come back to this place when I get back to Maui.

Heather was there for me with any questions or concerns I had on the island. A Brilliant host, who has been on the island for many years, Heather gave me advice on places to eat, and things to do. I had a fantastic experience.

The host canceled this reservation 45 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Heather's room is clean and tidy, there are also a few other airbnb guests living in the same house. I also love her spacious living room and backyard. The host provided us fresh fruit everyday.

Good room for spend one or two night, no more. Too far from main beaches and Lahaina.

Our stay at Heather's home was fantastic. Her home is beautiful and the location is great. We went to Maui to kiteboard and the location is a 7 minute drive to Kite Beach. She welcomed us with chocolates in our room and offered a free breakfast fruit platter from her backyard for breakfast. Will definitely stay here when we return in the future!

The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house is very nice and clean. A short drive to the market and the shopping center. When the trade winds blew, it was really cool. There are ceiling fans which helps. If you are planning to cook meals, it may a challenge since the house comes with one frying pan, two pots, a pizza pan and rice cooker. No large bowls to mix anything, measuring cups, measuring spoons, or sheet pan. We were planning to cook some dinners but ended up cooking only breakfast a couple of times which took a while since we had one pan to scramble eggs and fry 3 batches of bacon (5 at a time). If you're not planning to cook much, then this would be a very nice place to stay. We had trouble using Apple TV so ended up streaming from our laptop. The outlets in both bedrooms were not working. The sofa bed, which sagged in the middle, was not very comfortable. If you need to reach Leonardo, best to contact him by (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) or phone. He did not reply to my questions through the Airbnb website but when I texted him on the day of arrival and later by (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), I received a quick response. Overall, we did enjoy our stay here.

This was a great place for a quick trip to Maui. Leo was helpful and the other travelers in my party were pleased with their experience. If the need arose again, we would try to stay here again.

Extremely clean place. Host was very responsive to us and answered all questions timely. Couple downsides, there are hardly any creature comforts with this place. No coffee pot, no table or chairs for eating, hardly any cooking utensils or dishes, very uncomfortable mattresses as well. It was cheaper than most other rentals so maybe I shouldn't be surprised but it made our trip more inconvenient for us, especially with a kid.

Leonardo and Lowella's home was amazing. It is nearby mountains and is secluded from noise, very quiet. At first I was confused at the description of the home. But it is 2 separate units that are both 2 bed 1 bath, with an extra open door for big families such as +8 people. But it was just me, my wife, and her mom. We stayed for 2 nights and cooked mostly breakfast and it was enough plates, pans, and utensils for us. Rooms were all clean, furniture was really comfortable. And what I loved the most would be the privacy. Since these units are separate from the main home it allowed us to unwind in peace. It was very relaxing and if I ever visit Maui again I would definitely stay again. Mahalo Leonardo and Lowella!

I had such a wonderful time in Maui. I could not have stayed in a better place than Leonardo's. I had the entire second floor for me. The price and location were just perfect for me. There is a room downstairs that has some workout equipment. I took advantage of that too. I even hanged out with some of Leo's family and pulled out some spanish tunes to a guitar. I cannot think in another place if I ever go back there. Highly recommended. Thank you Leo.

This was my first experience with AirBnB and I had a lot of issues with betting verified. Leo remained trusting, helpful and responsive as the days dragged on and still held my reservation. The place was immaculate and the view was something else. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We couldn't have had a better experience.

The apartment is very spacious for two people, clean and has a beautiful view of the West Maui Mountains. The location in Wailuku is relatively central, so you can reach all the highlights of the island well. The contact with Leo was uncomplicated and very nice. Highly recommended.

Leonardo and his family were great! The first night there, the hot water stopped working for some reason so we had to take cold showers. I texted Leo the next morning and he was able to have it fixed by the time we returned in the afternoon! He had a handy notebook that helped us navigate the island and provided some awesome tips. If/when I come back to Maui, I would definitely choose this spot as my spot of choice. It's about 20 minutes away from Lahaina, the super touristy spot. Less than 10 minutes from a beach. It's in the middle of the island right by the airport and it was easy to go to either side of the island to explore.

Five starts out of five for hospitality, cleanness and convenience. I am very thankful to Emma for sharing with us organic eggs from her happy chickens and bananas from banana trees surrounding her house. That was really delicious! I also appreciate Emma's advice on where to go for food and how to get to Hana. I definitely recommend staying at her place.

very peaceful and secluded location. loved the chickens and the other pets at the residence. the view and the guesthouse were both amazing. Emma is a wonderful host!

What a gem of a place and Emma was absolutely the most welcoming host I've ever had! Wonderful location above Wailuku, with a dreamy view every morning as we drove down to the beach. Some good food options within 5 minutes. Loved staying at Emma's place and especially meeting the chickens and her adorable dog Mr. Micah who gave us a wonderful send off! Highly recommended!

This is the airbnb jackpot! We were so bummed that we didn't book a longer stay. The place hade everything we could need, full kitchen, comfy beds, washer\dryer. The surroundings are beautiful and you can watch the sunrise from their property. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Emma even brought us eggs from their chickens and bananas from their banana plants. We would love to come back to this place!

Fabulous place to stay at. Very beautiful and tranquil. Would highly recommend staying with Emma and John. Very gracious abd helpful hosts.

There are so many nice things about this property and hosts---Emma and John. I would have to rate everything above 5, beyond excellent. The property is Beautiful. It is a 3 acre property with banana trees and papaya trees and chickens and roosters and goats. And most importantly, we felt like we were at home. They were very generous and helped us connect with nature. Everything was excellent.

First off, I am a frequent traveler to Maui and other neighbor islands. I visit every few months for leisure. I typically stay in resorts in Lahaina or Kanaapali. My initial stay with Emma was in January 2017, I stayed for 7 days. I returned March 2017 for another 5 days. This review is based off of my first visit. This was my first time using Air B & B. I typically travel alone or with one other friend. Response time: I had a ton of questions for Emma, in which her response time was always within the hour and sometimes within minutes. After booking she was in communication with me up until the point I checked in. I appreciate her communication in making sure I found her place ok and I was safe. Upon arrival: I was greeted by her husband Jon and the family dog Micah. Jon was welcoming and showed me around the property. He taught me how to access the gate (it is a gated property), use the lights and appliances, and shared surrounding highlights of the town. Later that evening I met Emma. I was greeted with fresh apple bananas and organic eggs from the chickens on the property. What a treat! Facilities: The home is on the back end of the main home. I was unable to hear anything from the back so you have privacy. The bathroom has a sliding shower door. Hot water. There is a queen sized bed and pull out futon. I did not really watch tv but there is a good size flat screen tv. Wifi was dependable. Fully stocked kitchen with stove, microwave, plates, pots, pans, and utensils. Other miscellaneous items: beach towels, beach chairs, mat, extra blankets, boogie board, and board games. Washer/dryer in room. My stay was comfortable. In January I only used the ceiling fan. This last stay in March Jon and Emma had installed an AC unit—this was nice since it was a bit warmer. Otherwise there is a nice breeze. Location: The house is located in Wailuku 10 minutes from the Kahalui airport. It is off a main road up a hill. Upon driving up the street you have a gorgeous view of the west side Maui mountains, when you look behind you it’s a view of the Kahului beach/bay. The downtown area is minutes down the road. If you are there on the first Friday of the month you can attend the town party on Main Street (First Friday in Wailuku). That was fun! Approx 25-30 minutes drive to Lahaina/Kanaapali. Approx 20 minutes to Paia and start of Road to Hana. Approx 20 minutes to Kihei and another 10 minutes to Makena (Big/Little Beach) past Kihei. Environment/ambience: Personally, I enjoy this side of the island over the “touristy” areas. It’s far away enough where its restful and secluded yet close enough you can get to town. I just drove where I had to go to. Their was minimal traffic. Whole Foods Market,...

A little piece of paradise ideal for anyone who wants a quiet getaway. The covered porch looks out to banana trees, flours, and the mist covered West Maui Mountains. You will likely be welcomed daily by a cat, a dog, and mother hens and her chicks. Probably be woken by roosters too early in the morning. All adding to the tropical paradise experience. The location is far enough away from the tourist traps to be peaceful, but only a 5 minute drive to civilization, and 15 minutes to the west side tourist resorts.

This is a hostel and I stayed alone in the 8 bed dormitory. It was a good value for the money, very conveniently located for my needs and I will use again for multiple, upcoming trips to Maui.

The Oceanview Studio is located in a pleasant neighborhood with ample amounts of street parking. We had no concern that our rental car would be safe overnight. George and Lisa were out of town, but communication was quick and easy through text and email. Their guidelines are clear and and readily available through Airbnb apps and a folder inside the studio. The room itself was very clean and well furnished as advertised. I would recommend the Oceanview Studio to anyone who is looking to have an authentic Maui experience while avoiding heavy resort crowds and costs.

Lisa's Wailuku studio was perfect for our trip to Maui. It's spacious and well-appointed, and it's location made it a great home base for hiking and scuba diving all around the island. Lisa was friendly and very quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again!

Great central location in a quiet residential neighbourhood. There is a small beach just minutes away that has good waves for beginner surfers in February. The appartment is comfortable and has a great balcony with a view.

Quiet, comfortable, and private. I stayed in the studio out back which is elevated and divided from the main house by a deck. The place is located in a nice neighborhood. You can see the blue ocean water from the patio/deck. Lisa and George knew what they were doing when they furnished the place. The bed was very comfortable and everything was very clean and organized. The decor is all in the Hawaiian spirit. While I didn't get any, fresh fruit is sometimes hung outside by the walkway leading up to the room. Fast internet through wifi and cable was provided in the room. I would stay here again. Most importantly of all, though, they were great hosts. I didn't get to personally meet Lisa except for a brief encounter, but George made me feel welcome when I arrived. Due to weather, my flight came in a bit late but they were very accommodating in receiving me. I ended up extending my stay for a few more days. It was easy to get into contact with them and organize a way to do so.

This studio was a great spot for our first visit to Maui. It is comfortable and unique. You can hear and see the ocean. It's very breezy with all the windows open - we had no problems having no AC during our January stay. It has lots of nice comforts - dishes, towels, shampoo/soap/conditioner, coffee pot, beach equipment, tv, and even a meditation nook!

This place is a wonderful, quiet and safe place. I only have good things to say about the feel of this Air BnB. Lisa is very helpful and responsive. Can't wait to make it back to the island.

Lovely place in Maui, very easy access to both east and west sides of the island. Very cozy and fun place to be. Good view of ocean from the porch.

We loved our stay at George and Lisa's. The studio was clean and comfortable and centrally located. Would definetly recommend!

Fantastic!! We feel so fortunate to have been able to stay here with Gail and Jordan as our host. Their home with it's wonderful amenities, gorgeous location and who they are as people, have made us feel completely at home, safe and welcome. You'll love it !! Kam and Nancy

Gail and Jordan were wonderful hosts! They replied straight away and gave us wonderful advice. This beautiful little home was absolutely perfect and had wonderful views. Gail and Jordan ensure that your stay is as comfortable as possible by supplying you with everything you need and more. The ocean is right across the road and is a great location close to shops etc. we had a wonderful trip. We can't thank you enough Gail and Jordan!

Absolutely love this place! Everything Gail and Jordan provide make you feel like you are arriving at your second home, I will plan my trip around the availability of this place.

We really enjoyed our stay and Gail is an amazing hostess! This location was great. We loved sitting on the deck as the sun came up watching the surfers - popular surfing beach for locals. We loved the privacy and that we could just let the sunrise come in and wake us up.

Gail made us (EMAIL HIDDEN)munication was super both before and during trip. Gail and her husband are available but not at all intrusive. The rental felt very private and we immediately felt at home. The bed is very comfortable -there is a living room with tv , books, binoculars , even a guitar! The living room opens up to a porch area where you can watch the waves, hear the ocean , etc. Gail provides every amenity you can imagine. Snorkel equipment , towels, and even a heavy coat which came in handy in Haleakala . We were also given guest passes to the local Y where we took a class. On arrival , there were cold beers and drinks waiting in the fridge and chocolate and a pineapple - this is our first air b n b experience and we can't imagine a better experience anywhere - Guests should note that this is not in a touristy area although it is close to everything we were interested in- so if you want typical tourist rental , this may not be for you. If you want magical Maui experience with great hosts - this is it!! We hope to come back

Gail goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and welcome!! She even let me receive mail at the cottage. I had a fantastic experience. The place is by the water, and has all the needed amenities. Aloha and enjoy!
