    If you are going to Hawaii, Maui is the place to be. If you are going to Maui then this place is perfect! We couldn’t get over how lovely the stay was here! Lovely room, great kitchen and sitting space, great kitchen facilities, amazing back garden for sitting, stunning upstairs views for sunset! Eva was friendly and lovely, helpful and kind! (Bonus adorable dogs if you want company, really well behaved and adorable). Washing machine and dryer was just what we needed and available for use. Both bedsides had wireless chargers that I now want in my house. Contact free check in and parking. Genuinely perfect for an amazing stay!

    Eva was very friendly and helpful. The equipment was good, you felt at home quickly and especially the bathroom was designed with a lot of love. Eva also allows you to borrow different things for the beach or to do laundry. It really is a great place to spend your holiday. A bonus point for us was Eva's cute dogs

    A little awkward to understand how to fit in what the hosts offer - access to upper sitting area that was unknown to us until later; difficult to take dishes to sitting area from room below; could not locate replacement dishes or figure out what do do with the dirty dishes - communication a little too soft for a 5 day stay - would have been nice for the host to speak with us directly to explain all that is offered - felt like we were at an air b&b and not at a bed and breakfast (we hoped for a little more contact that is normal for a bread & breakfast)

    Location, lots of options for breakfast - continental, laundry very handy

    The shower rod in our bathroom came down twice while we were there:( It would have been great to have a place to hang towels and toilet paper as well .

    The location was great . We were here for a family wedding in Wailea, so great for being close to the family .

    Everything was great. If you are a light sleeper, you may hear the numerous sounds of nature such as crickets in the evening or birds in the morning.

    Authentic Hawaiian accommodation in great location to beautiful Makena Beach and the best snorkeling spot. The hostess was super nice and helpful. Breakfast was extensive with great views. Easy to get to from the airport in 30 min.

    The family. You are O'Hana with Eva and Jim. Maui Wonderful World Bed and Breakfast is better than the Hilton any day. The view of gorgeous Maui from the Lanai is breathtaking. Such beautiful energy and atmosphere. Take a look up at the night sky before heading to bed and check out the gorgeous stars & moon from the top of the hill. Trust me, this place beats any resort I have ever stayed at. :)

    I loved everything about this beautiful place.

    The house is unique and stunning! The room I had was spacious and very cleverly and beautifully designed I loved the fresh tropical fruit and coffee for breakfast, though there was also a wide array of breads and breakfast sandwiches and cookies. I felt so welcome and cared for with plenty of food as well as natural shampoo and conditioner and body wash, and also free use of a washer and dryer and beach chairs, umbrella and towels. The huge, gorgeous, furnished communal deck provides a a lovely breeze and panoramic views including the ocean. The host, Eva is a gem! She has achieved a very smooth-running establishment and has managed to provide privacy for her guests while also being readily available if needed. I have stayed in 16 different places on Maui and this is one of my absolute favorites.

    Because of Covid we did not have communal breakfasts, but there was a plentiful variety of food furnished for our suite. Internet would occasionally come and go for my PC but my wife had no issues on her iPad.

    Eva was a wonderful host. She is very knowledgeable about local activities including restaurants, beaches, etc. The suite was large, clean quiet, and comfortable. Out suite had a very comfortable queen bed and was well furnished. We rarely heard other guests in their rooms. The large TV had a good selection of channels. Eva furnished plenty of food including fresh fruit, yogurt, egg and sausage sandwiches, muffins, and milk and OJ. There was a washer/dryer and soap available for guests. Beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, boards, sunscreen, and bug repellant were available. The room rate was a fraction of the amount charged by nearby properties. We have found or new home in Maui (for a week a year).

    We didn't like it that it was in a crowded neighborhood, the driveway was a real challenge to accommodate a regular car. We kept scraping the bottom of our car when we pulled in and drove out. The bedroom itself was comfortable and the bathroom beautiful. Actually, all in all, for a bed and breakfast, it was well appointed and our stay was very comfortable. It was also very well situated -- close to the Piilani highway, downtown Kihei, and Wailea.

    Because of COVID, the host did a very nice job of providing delicious fruit, bread, milk, yogurt, juice. Also, we had all the basic appliances needed for breakfast. There was also a beautiful, comfortable great room to sit and read and just enjoy the beauty of Hawaii. The grounds of this bed and breakfast are well kept and beautiful.
