Chris was very prompt in responding. The house definitely lends itself so very well for large groups. All family and friends were very happy with the accommodations. Very, very pretty home and well appointed. The beach access was great. Just a short walk up the beach you are able to see sea turtles resting in the sun. We had relatives staying in the cottage on the property they seemed equally happy with the accommodations. Would definitely inquire about Hoaloha Hale property again if we come back with a large group. Thank you Chris. You have a lovely property. Best, Sallie

This property worked well for us and our 2 families with small children. As the grandparents, we stayed in the cottage while the other 4 adults and 4 grandchildren stayed in the main house. That separation worked very well for us. Both the house and cottage were well stocked for cooking, and there also was some equipment available for fun at the beach. The beach does have some coral, so water shoes are advisable. The Yale electronic locks made access easy for everyone. Restaurants and a grocery store are only about half a mile away. And we had very responsive communications with the owner.

So spacious, clean, and only two minutes away from the beach! 5 min from grocery, shops and restaurants! Rented the whole property, including the cottage for our wedding party of 11 adults and everyone felt fully accommodated. Plenty of beach gear and towels. Also very close to MisoPhat Sushi. Thanks Chris!

Fabulous house. We enjoyed our stay very much. Convenient location Everything you need for a perfect vacation.

First off, the property manager Chris was the best host I've had experience with. Very helpful, responsive and generous. The property itself was just as advertised and housed the 12 of us very comfortably. The two houses were clean and the kitchens were well organized. An easy stroll to the beach.

When you book and invest in a vacation home rental, there’s always some nervousness about whether the actual house matches up to the marketing photos. This house is the Mecca of Awesome. Combined with the cottage, our family of 12 had more than enough room to cohabitate. We enjoyed our morning coffee and breakfast on the deck. Every evening, many of us sat out on the deck, while some watched TV or played video games. Kihei has a lot of great restaurants and shopping. You can also rent surfboard and other water sports items and go surfing or boarding on the beach. The water was warm. I would definitely recommend some beach shoes to avoid rocky bottoms in the water. And let’s not forget the turtles on the beach across the street from the house. So amazing. As I said, the Mecca of awesome. I would definitely come back with the family. The host was wonderful and easy to talk to. Very accommodating to our needs. Good people. What else can I say? We don’t want to leave. PS-don’t miss out on Shave ice from Ululani’s. It’s like an ice cream sundae and snow cone in one. Mahalo, The Bartot Family

Hoaloha Hale was the perfect setting for our memorable family rendezvous the week of Thanksgiving 2023! Oh, and for celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. The home provided lovely, authentic Hawaiian accommodations in a quiet tropical setting. We thoroughly enjoyed all that the home had to offer. Our group of ten ranged in age from 6 to 72. In Kihei we were within easy distance of many amenities and adventures, including just steps away from a lovely beach and beautiful sunsets and walking distance to a great coffee truck each morning. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer at Hoaloha Hale and spend more time together as a family enjoying beautiful Maui. Mahalo!

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house itself is stunning and in such a great location. You're basically across the street from beach access, and on the other side of the house is a great view of the mountain (sunrise was amazing). The house was very clean, the beds were all SO comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed or wanted. Chris was extremely helpful and was always available if we had questions, and made sure to check in before our trip to make sure we had everything we needed when we arrived. Seriously, if I ever make it back to Maui I will absolutely try to stay here again.

We loved the space the house had and how all the bedrooms had privacy. Kitchen was well stocked. Chris was a great host. Would recommend staying here.

I can't say enough good things about this home, location and host! We were thrilled to be in such a beautiful location on the island. We were close to several grocery stores, fabulous restaurants and beautiful beaches. The home was spacious and had everything we needed for a large group of all ages. Chris was an amazing host. He was always available to answer questions and gave us wonderful recommendations to make our vacation extra special. I highly recommend this rental and hope we can get back there soon ourselves!

The house, location, and host communication were excellent!

We were there to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary as they renewed their vows, also two of our kids just graduated from high school. The location of the house was in a great neighborhood and close to many things, many within walking distance. The beach nearby was beautiful! The house was stocked with everything (and more) that we needed! It was a beautiful house and cottage and gave us more than enough room for our entire family of 12! Chris communicated everything that was necessary and even helped with figuring out things to do and restaurants nearby. He had great recommendations! I do not have any complaints at all, we enjoyed our stay thoroughly and would recommend this house to others. I would also love to go back and visit sometime! Thank you so much for a very relaxing and fun vacation house for us adults and our teenage children! Mahalo!

This place was great. There were really no issues whatsoever. All of the appliances were top-of-the-line. The beds were comfortable. The place was extremely clean. Chris, the host, was amazing at communicating with us. The only issue, is that the beach nearby? It’s not really very good for swimming. That’s really not Chris’s problem, but it should be noted.

Perfect location and accommodations for our family of 12. Host Chris was available before and during our trip to address all questions and concerns. Highly recommend.

location perfect! clean house! fresh linens! more than enough kitchenware! we had perfect family vacation^^ thanks chris!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent location on a quiet street with easy and close access to beach, coffee shops, and local restaurants. The layout of the home is great for families. Chris was a terrific, responsive host with excellent suggestions for activities, outings, and restaurants.

Spacious and comfortable, great location.

The house was amazing. I grew up on maui and wanted to show my mainland friends the island for my birthday. The house + cottage was the perfect choice for us. The open floor plan was great for get togethers and awesome for games when it rained one day. Check in was super easy and clean was a breeze. You are across from the beach with great beach access and perfect sport for those group sunset photos. you are also a short walk away from some great food and drinks like Three’s, lava rock and Paia fish market. Id recommend this house to anyone and one of my friends is already looking to bring his family back.

We stayed for six nights at this home, and we were 8 family members. We liked the very large kitchen, several people could help out at the same time. The table was enough for even more than us 8. The three bathrooms were enough, even when we came back from watching the sunset, and we were salty and sandy! We saw turtles and humpback whales from the beach, and enjoyed bouncing in the waves. The outdoor shower had hot and cold taps and this was nice for rinsing off! We used all the outdoor beach gear, great stuff! The location was central to all of our activities. With three different lounging areas, plus the very generous deck, we had room for all the different things everyone wanted to do. We didn't run out of wifi. The a/c was very effective and we closed the window blinds during the day to avoid heat gain. Loved the BBQ outside! We asked for and got a late checkout on our last day, and we were allowed to store our suitcases till 6 pm, so we could venture around without fear of our things getting stolen from our rental cars. Lots of personal care and attention from Chris, even restaurant recommendations! Thanks so much for making this week one for our family to remember forever! Mahalo!

Beautiful property in close proximity to the beach. Conveniently located to all areas of the island. We absolutely loved our stay here and Chris was very responsive. Definitely a place we will return.

We traveled with a group of 6 adults and 4 children and everyone was very comfortable and happy with the accommodations. The beach across the street is beautiful and of course Maui provided whales and turtles making it even more enjoyable! Thanks Chris for a wonderful vacation!

Just steps from ocean & sand, this roomy house in a quiet neighborhood was centrally located in Kihei. The large kitchen, dining area, & deck really worked for our multi-generational group of 10, and there was lots of kitchenware and supplies. Bedrooms were large enough and beds comfortable. Our group made use of beach gear like beach chairs & boogie boards. Our host checked in with us many times to be sure everything was going well and that we were comfortable. Fabulous house, we'd love to stay there again!

This was absolutely perfect for an extended family vacation! The home is well equipped with more than just necessities, plenty of kitchenware for a larger family, lots of elbow room to spread out, and a bonus games/office lot area complete with video game consuls for the kids to enjoy. The host was very responsive and caring. We highly recommend this to anyone needing larger space.

Our family, 7 adults and 2 children had a excellent stay. Location: short walk to the beach, easy safe walk down Halama street to the park where the kids could play. Convenient drive to supermarkets. The house was well stocked with dishes and cooking equipment including a rice cooker and a grill on the deck. Another plus was a trove of beach chairs,boogie boards, cooler and sand toys at the house. The house was very clean on our arrival. Two modern washer dryer units are available on the lower level of the main house. Every bedroom has an individual A/C units and ceiling fan that made sleeping comfortable. (Hawaii humidity is high) although one of the A/C units for the main room was non functional awaiting parts. Chris, the owner, was our contact person and was excellent! He responded quickly when we had questions and made efforts to make sure that our stay was comfortable.

Delivered as advertised. Right size for our group. Good location and layout.

This is a great property, just as advertised. Our extended family had a great 10 day vacation. The rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and amenities were all great, and the best of Maui is easily accessible from Kihei. Chris was a responsive, helpful and accommodating host. Would recommend without any hesitation.

Awesome house, awesome service, awesome experience!

The Halama House was perfect for our family gathering from Seattle, Tokyo, Boston and Temecula. The kids loved the loft and the adults had plenty of room for reminiscing and enjoying good food and drink. Our oldest son got married at Kukahiko Estate. Everything went beautifully and the house contributed much to the success of our trip.

Our stay at Chris' place was amazing. It had all of the amenities that we needed. My parents joined myself, my husband and our two little ones. The downstairs area afforded by parents a separate place to retreat for privacy and peace and quiet, while the rest of us were able to enjoy the upstairs living area and kitchen. We cooked some great meals in the well appointed kitchen. And there was a perfect spot for my husband to work away from the crew when he needed to. The beach, which is in walking distance, is absolutely magical. We found a spot were I felt comfortable allowing my little one to splash and my five year old snorkel where I didn't have to worry that they would be smashed by big waves. We snorkeled with the turtles there, saw amazing coral and fish and relaxed on a nearly empty beach. It was perfect. The only thing is that if you need to keep your kiddos off the stairs, you will need to rent baby gates - one for the stairs going down and one for the stairs going up, and possibly one for the very top because the one in the pictures is not there anymore (they may have replaced because one did exist at some point I think). We definetely recommend this home for a special vacation.

We would love go back again

We booked this property, including the cottage, to accommodate friends and family for a small destination beach wedding. The house worked out a great (other than the ice maker on the fridge not working). While the cottage was lovely, it was so close to the road that road noise (and rooster noise) was an issue for the couple that stayed there. Also the air conditioning in the cottage was not stellar, and there were some issues with outlets not working. The location of the house was great - walking distance to bars and restaurants and a nice beach. Overall, our stay was wonderful, but some minor issues should be addressed. I would not hesitate to book the house again, but I am not sure that the couple who stayed in the cottage would want to stay there again until the air conditioning is working better.

This house is perfectly suited for a large family vacation. Plenty of bedrooms and places for kids to hang out inside or on big outside deck. House is in a great location, convenient to everything, on a quiet street, close to the beach, nice safe places to walk/run. Well appointed with all the tools you need to cook and enjoy meals inside. We had an issue with little bugs inside the house, but not biting bugs. Owner was VERY responsive with any issues we had at the house. Highly recommend this home for your next Maui vacation.
