The Ho'oilo House was a paradise tucked away in the mountains near Lahaina. We loved the peaceful, private nature of the property, as it continually felt like we had the pool, house and scenery to ourselves. Our time at Ho'oilo was our first three days of our honeymoon, and it provided with an environment that allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the natural beauty of Maui. Amy and Dan were excellent hosts and were helpful as we made plans to figure out what we would do and where we would eat each day. If you are looking for a relaxing, beautiful setting where you will feel like the island is yours alone, this is your spot. If you're looking for all the amenities of a full-service resort, go to one. I strongly recommend the former, Ho'oilo House, to the latter. It was a perfect place to stay.

My wife and I stayed at Ho'oilo House for six nights in the Nalu room as we celebrated our ten year anniversary (even though we were on year 11 by the time our trip happened). Everything we were looking for in our Maui vacation accommodations came to be, without question. Our priorities were the following:

1) Close to the action, but not immersed in the resort circus
2) Beautiful location
3) Quiet and peaceful setting

We didn't cross paths with Amy, but Dan was more than willing to help out with a restaurant suggestion or Hawaii information when approached. To some of the comments/posts below, we found that their interaction/presence was just right (available when we had a question, and behind the scenes when we were after privacy). From our viewpoint - an excellent B&B host.

As for the property - it was truly spectacular. Unbelievable views of the ocean/other islands from the property/lanai/outdoor shower/bed. Prior posts have discussed the wonderful West Maui mountain setting on one side with the Pacific on the other. Very nicely maintained property with a great house design and layout.

The Nalu room was just what we were after - nice bed, large tub, great view, and as mentioned above (and our favorite to go along with basically every other post), the outdoor shower overlooking the Pacific with a great look at the sunset to boot.

Ho'oilo was a key piece of a fabulous, relaxing, and enjoyable vacation. We wholeheartedly recommend this to other travelers after the same things we were looking for.

Thanks again Dan and Amy for a great experience (and Dan, thanks again for the reschedule....)

Mahalo,

As we are making plans to go back to the Ho House in October (booked the Kohola Suite back in March of this year), I wanted to
see what the latest is at Trip Advisor.
I can't believe this isn't the #1 rated B&B in all of Maui!

As you walk into the front Bali doors and look into a glass walled living room that is embraced by the Pacific Ocean, one can't help thinking Brad and Angela will walk out any moment (without all those kids, of course). It is truly spectacular.

We loved the open air breezeways to the rooms (not cottages) with geckos and art work intermingled.

We are booking the same room we stayed in last fall-the Kohola Suite. We just loved being steps away from the pool and having a lanai that overlooked that incredible view. And of course, the outside shower. I loved the soap and shampoo products they used-the smell mixed in with the fresh air while showering was a dream.

The only time we saw other couples was at breakfast time. We spent 2 whole days just hanging at the house and we felt like we were the only ones there-which was exactly the experience we wanted.

We loved the massage on the lanai. It was so relaxing; we couldn't go anywhere that night.
We felt our interaction with the Dan and Amy was perfect-saw Dan when we arrived and saw him when we left. You barely knew they were around yet the place operated beautifully-always clean, great healthy breakfasts, and the office dorr open incase you needed him.

If you are looking for a place where you can seriously unwind and disconnect from your hectic life, this is it. The minute you walk in, anything that was nagging you is gone. IMMERSE yourself in the calming the Ho'oilo House surrounds you with.

This is one of the best bed and breakfasts that we have ever stayed in! My husband and I wanted a romantic place to spend our 10 year wedding anniversary. This was the place! We loved the outdoor shower and the views. The breakfast was simple yet fresh and was a good start to the day.

Amy and Dan were awesome and gave us plenty of space (I am baffled about the other reviews below). We can't wait to come back!
