Ho’oilo House

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful and breathtaking bed and breakfast for the first half of our honeymoon in Maui. Because this house is located up in the mountains, the views of the sky, waters and mountains in the distance are magnificent. The atmosphere itself feels like Bali; hence, the furniture here is made and shipped from Bali. Each room has a different personality but they all come with an outdoor shower and Balinese wooden bathtub, which were my two absolute favorite pieces. My favorite amenities include the high quality, natural tea leaves in the lobby, the sensatia bar soaps and shampoos, and the hearty, natural, local, and organic breakfasts. Amy and Daniel are very hospitable and accommodating and they really put in every detail to the Ho’oilo House to create a paradise within a paradise. My husband and I loved every bit of our stay here and bought home beautiful sceneries, intricate décor, refreshing breezes, natural soaps from Indonesia, local granola from Paia, and sweet memories that we will hold dear.

We arrived in Maui and our first accommodation was the Hyatt Residence. Very nice. Busy, noisy, right on the beach, typical big hotel ambiance.
Then we moved to Ho’oilo House. It’s like the best day compared to the best night. The house is on a hillside overlooking the channel between Maui and Molokai. Balinese in style, the house is open and airy. Outside there are birds, and toads and lizards and dragonflies dodging in and out of the lush well kept landscape.
And it’s quiet. Come here if you want to listen to nothing more than the earth.
The innkeeper, Dan, works hard to keep this place special. Thanks Dan.
We will be back.

Back for another stay of three nights. The finest bed-​and-​breakfast we have ever stayed at. The ambience is wonderful. Worth every dollar you pay for this wonderful place. Breakfast was awesome. Room accommodations were excellent. The views are stunning. This is part of Maui you cannot skip

My wife and I wanted to find something more personal, unique, and more luxurious than we could find at the large resorts. We decided to spend the first part of our honeymoon at Ho’olio House at the end of September.
I can’t explain how wonderful the location, the rooms, and the hosts — Dan and Amy — are, and how much we enjoyed our time there.
While I could pick any number of things — the views, the comfort of the rooms, the unique outdoor shower … I would say our favorite thing was the elegant landscaping — out every window, and around every corner, there was something unique, beautiful, and relaxing. Every morning, we walked out of our suite, and looked out over the ponds, down into the yard, and out to the ocean … and we smiled.
We were there during a time when the Kona Winds hit, so it was abnormally warm (mid 90s) and the room A/​C kept us very comfortable. The pool was a wonderful afternoon treat … and we never really saw the other guests, except around breakfast and in passing on our way to dinner. We had a nice afternoon rain shower … which started while we were taking an outdoor shower … *sigh*
Pros: Beautiful, relaxing scenery. Very helpful and polite hosts. Stunning relaxation. Views, views, views. Nice pool, good breakfast, convenient to Lahaina, Ka’anapali, Ma’alea, and points south.
Cons: … well its not on the beach, which some may consider a negative. But, the closest beach is at the bottom of the hill where there is plentiful parking — and unlike a beach location, its private and quiet.

Magnificent architecture! Only six beautiful rooms. So peaceful with wonderful views and only three miles from Lahaina. Beautiful furniture and wood from Bali. Definitely a place to relax and enjoy ambiance.

We had an amazing stay at Ho’oilo House. Situated in the mountains of Maui, this small B&B is perfect for couples. The grounds and the views are stunning. The décor is Bali inspired and beautiful. Rooms were small, but clean and the main family room area is lovely. The hallways are open air and the showers are all outside (but private). Perfect place to stay for the first week of our honeymoon. The breakfast every morning was also delicious – esp. the homemade muffins. My husband and I talked with the B&B owner Dan often and he provided great places to eat on the island. It was also handy that the house provided beach chairs, umbrella’s boogie boards etc.
Someday we will be back! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Stay here and experience the best B & B on the island. Amazing house and grounds. Dan, Amy and the girls are the best. Breakfast is wonderful and fresh. Last but not least Gentlemen the outdoor showers are liberating!

This is truly a place that delights all the senses at every turn down to the tiniest detail. Ho’oilo House is simply one of finest B&B’s in which I’ve ever stayed. The beautiful scenery, landscaping/​foliage and architecture of it will simultaneously comfort and de-​stress you — and knock you off your feet. Also, the folks who run this place keep it up beautifully and are attentive and hospitable. We worked with Dan mostly — and he is a wonderful grounds caretaker who is detail-​oriented, relaxed and professional.
The floor to ceiling windows with views of the Pacific Ocean and sunset, beautiful wood structural details and ponds/​pools will take your breath away from the moment you walk through the open air foyer and halls. All the details are deliberately planned to relax and (I don’t use this word like ever) inspire you. We stayed in the Honu (Turtle) room for 5 nights and loved it. The marble bath is simply amazing and the views off your room allow you to see both the mountains and the ocean simultaneously (the website downplays the view, but we felt you really do get to see more from this room than the website would have you believe). And just FYI — You also are the closest room to the meditation gazebo.
Small details count, too, and this place gets them all right. We loved the Ho’oilo House soaps, their coffees and teas left out all day (seriously, they must have curated the stuff down to only the best), the fact the the owners are environmentally conscious (they are some of the few people on the islands that recycle!), the floral smell that drifts through the air day and night, the clear and haunting views of the Milky Way (even from the outdoor shower), the sounds of the fountains and ponds… We loved it all! So refreshing to find such a down to earth place that’s beautiful, inviting, natural and spectacular! I can’t say enough good things about this place and will be returning for years to come.

We both work for hotels so we wanted to stay someplace that would offer us a little more privacy for our honeymoon being that we were traveling over Spring Break. This is a lovely property with an amazing pool and incredible view. We stayed in the Nalu room for three nights which had a wonderful ocean view, great outdoor shower, and a deep soaking tub. I will warn anyone who may be «shy» that there is no door on the toilet area so if that is a concern for you, this would not be the room for you. For the other nights we stayed in the Wailele which did have a separate toilet closet, a very comfortable bed, nice antique tub, and wonderful outdoor shower with a mountain view. While we didn’t have ideal weather, they views from the property were amazing and the few days we could enjoy the pool were fantastic. We hardly saw any of the other couples. Breakfast was great with a different freshly baked bread and muffin choice daily. There was fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, coffee, teas, and juices to pick from. There was never a shortage of options. We appreciated Dan’s insight on several great places to eat and appreciated the helpfulness. Our standards are high due to our profession and I would not only visit again but would tell anyone considering a trip to look into booking here as well.

There are not enough flattering words in the English language to describe how amazing this place was for us. So much better than staying in a loud, over-​crowded tourist trap. Situated higher up the mountain (which made for a great run!!), the views from our room were simply breathtaking! Dan and Amy made for charming and attentive hosts and the complimentary (superb) tea and coffee all day were very nice touches. Everything about this B&B was perfect! From breakfast, pool side, on the front lawn to the outdoor shower in our room! Oh, and when I booked this B&B, I mentioned to Dan that it was our 10^th anniversary and that my husband would be home for R&R — Dan arranged complimentary champagne for us on our last night! What an amazing end to our celebration! PERFECT!
If we return to Maui, we will not stay anywhere else.

I LOVE this place. So peaceful and beautiful and each room is decorated in an amazing way. You can tell the owners really care about the place and you feel very well taken care of. Such a nice departure from all the big resorts. And the views are amazing.

I absolutely loved Ho’oilo House, even if I still can’t pronounce its name.
Located midway up a hill you’ll be immediately blown away by the view as you drive up the road towards the house. The island mountains are breathtaking.
Once at the house you’ll find a beautifully built refuge. The owners are friendly and the rooms are as beautiful as all the pictures would have you believe.
The B&B offers a great location that is ideal for exploring the entire island. It’s only a few minutes away from the touristy Lahaina and all the wonderful restaurants and shopping. There’s a beach immediately down the road from the house that is bustling with local flavour. The resorts of Kaanapali are only 15 minutes north.
Further away, but still only about 30 minutes is the most beautiful beach in Makena Park — Big Beach. One of the nicest things about the house that was totally unexpected was the availability of beech gear! We ended up going to Big Beach a couple of days in a row and Ho’oilo provided sand mats, towels, water thermoses and even sun hats! It was really great having all of that available.
The only very, very slight negative is – be prepared for a slight lack of privacy. While the outdoor shower is built to hide most of you while affording you a view of the ocean, when others walk around the front lawn and wave at you while you’re soaping up – well, it took a little getting used to. The only thing I really disliked was the toilet in the rooms being open to the rest of the room.
Ultimately this place gets about as much of a recommendation as I can ever give. If we ever make it back to Maui we’ll stay here again.

Just stayed here for part of my honeymoon and loved it. The rooms are beautiful, and the views from the lanai at sunset made for a great backdrop. Really liked the outdoor shower and the continental breakfast and 24-​hr tea and coffee were all big pluses as well.

We really liked Ho’oilo House — the house itself is gorgeous, in an airy balinese style, and we loved the huge bathroom with gigantic tub and outdoor shower. We had great massages on our lanai with views of the water, and although they had a full house, we rarely saw the other guests except a little at breakfast (which was also lovely). Pricey, yes… but worth it for a couple of nights, absolutely.

We LOVE this place!!! This place is incredible and amazing.
We were blown away by the beauty of the house. We were immediately transported to Bali. The entire house was in Balianese style and all material (ie wood, stones, and furnishing) were imported from Bali.
If you have attention for details, you will be spending a lot of time walking around and looking at the house.
We had the Kipuka room. Once again, the room was beautifully decorated with wooden furnitures and art pieces from Bali. Even the drapery hooks were unique.
Amy and Dan created a relaxing and welcoming place. My husband and I felt so relaxed. Amy baked these delicious muffins and breads EVERY morning, from scratch. Omg!
Even though the place was FULLY booked, we felt like we had the entire house to ourselves, for most of the time.
I am not going to give away too much. Its something you have to experience and see for yourself when you are visiting Lahaina, Maui.

We just came home from our honeymoon after spending 5 nights at this wonderful, romantic place! Amy and Dan are incredibly hospitable and welcoming, and their breakfast is very nutritious and filling. They had a wonderful collection of teas available for their guests 24/​7, and the views of the ocean from the pool are INCREDIBLE. The inn is in Lahaina, so we were never far away from places to sightsee or eat, but we felt quite private and secluded, and I haven’t seen that many stars in the night sky since the last time I went camping! We stayed in the Wailele room, and quite enjoyed the outdoor shower. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat the next time I’m in Maui, and I would definitely recommend it to couples who are trying to find a quiet place to get away.

I would definitely stay here in again! My husband and I stayed here in January 2010, when we were looking for a true vacation full of peace and quiet. Ho’Oilo House definitely fit that bill! The majority of the time we felt we were the only ones at the house (there are 6 rooms total), just what we were looking for. The close is very close to Lahaina, so it wasn’t a real trek when we wanted to get a bite to eat. The rooms, inspired by Bali, are wonderful and spacious and the outdoor showers are fun.

Loved this place. It sits up on a hill that overlooks the ocean. The rooms are beautiful and the main house is amazing. A little pricey but it is in Hawaii on Maui near Lahaina. I would definitely stay there if you have the chance.
