After reading the amazing reviews on TripAdvisor about Wai Ola, I was smitten. I wasn't steered wrong!

Because of a late flight and lost luggage, we arrived around 11 p.m., but Kim and Jim were up and ready to greet us and give us a quick review of the room, leaving the property tour for the next day when we were more awake.

The property is beautiful and private and the birds and cat made it seem like home. My husband enjoyed swimming in the pool the short time he had to do that. Otherwise, we spent most of our days roaming about Maui. Often we would be greeted back to our room with a plate of yummy treats baked by Kim. The fruit basket kept us in breakfast for almost the whole week, and someone was nice enough to chop up the pineapple for us after the second day.

Jim and Kim were always there with an answer to a question. They always made sure we had everything we needed.

Thanks for the great trip!

Aloha to Kim & Jim,

My wife and I just returned from staying at Wai Ola for the second year in a row and are happy to say that nothing has changed....Wai Ola is THE place to stay in Maui. We stayed for 10 nights in the Kuupio room in early January(08)and enjoyed every minute.
Kim & Jim are the best hosts you could want, from there tips on where to eat, to what beach to go to, not to mention Kim's baked goods(my wife ate them all!!)which we still think about.

There is a reason that Wai Ola is a Trip Advisor preferred destination three years in a row, it is no fluke. The reason is the hospitality provided by the owners that make you feel like your at home. It is a small little paradise in a great neighborhood, close to everything(Beaches, Restaurants, Golf Courses...etc).

I could go on and on, but there is no need, people who have stayed at Wai Ola and read this review will nodding there head in approvement, and for those of you thinking about where to stay in Maui..your search is over, book Wai Ola, I guarantee you will not regret it. The resort and the owners are first class in every way.

Mahalo,
Mark & Lisa

P.S. If you see one show in Maui, go and see Warren & Annabelle's, outstanding!

Jim and Kim are wonderful hosts. Every other day Kim brought a tasty home baked treat that was perfect when returning home for the evening. There is a DVD player in the room and a 3 page list of DVDs that they will share with you at a moments notice. Also available at no charge are beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, boogie boards, and coolers! Kim told us to load up our car and keep the stuff for our entire trip because they had plenty for everyone. It is these little details that really makes this place special. The bed is plush and comfortable - just what you dream of after exploring all day long.

Stay here and you will NOT be disappointed. We will definitely be back.

We have just returned after 7 days stay with Kim & Jim. After reading lots of Trip Advisor reports ,we finally settled on Wai Ola and were thrilled that we did,
Within ten minutes of arrival, Kim had a car organised for us and gave us lots of tips where to eat and what to see. The cookies and welcome fruit bowl were just what the Doctor ordered and were greatly appreciated.
Wai Ola was very handy to the shops and restaurants at Laihana and in a nice quiet spot with a good view of the bay. The room and facilities were great with a nice comfortable bed, just like home and we really appreciated the swimming pool and spa at the end of the day. We would highly recommend Wai Ola to any other travellers.
