The Hula Hale is the perfect place for a Maui getaway. It is in a quiet area but has easy access to the beach, the Hana Highway, and all the commercial amenities of Kahului. We loved waking each morning to eat in the beautiful private garden area. Don’t worry about the size of the room; the outdoor area feels like an extension of the space and is a great place to relax. I have a lot of food intolerances, so I was grateful for the kitchen amenities in the room as well as the small health-conscious market within walking distance; we had everything we needed to make a simple, healthy meal and have snacks. Beach chairs and a Maui revealed book enhanced our beach lounging and island explorations. The room is clean and comfortable, even though it gets a little stuffy without A/C. The mattress wasn’t quite firm enough for my bad back, but Claire provided a straight back chair more supportive for my back to sit in when I asked. Claire and Billy are ideal hosts—friendly, responsive, and respectful of your privacy.
