The Guest House

Just an update that this guest well run house was closed by the Lahaina Fire of August 2023. As of April 2024 this neighborhood is closed and barricaded. It is unknown when this neighborhood will get infrastructure built and reopen. When I saw this property it was well run, had off street parking and busy.

My wife and I stayed at the Maui Guest House and couldn't have been more satisfied. The room was spacious, had all the necessities, and the staff was great. They have coolers, beach gear, beach towels, and more for you to use. There is a laundry room for guests, and you have full run of the kitchen to cook, and the coffee is excellent. If we're come back to Maui, we'll come back to the Maui Guest House.

Wow! Where to start? This is an incredible place to stay and we can't recommend it highly enough. After a stressful journey to Maui we were welcomed with such warmth and empathy we were bowled over! John, Heather, Barbara and Tanna work tirelessly to provide every need for their guests. There is such attention to detail, from the availability of cool boxes, free laundry, coffee, cold drinks, DVDs, beach chairs...the list is endless. Our recent trip covered a number of hotels but nothing came close to the cleanliness, personal service and above all hospitality of the Maui Guest House. We arrived as weary travelers but left as friends to our hosts. We can only reiterate previous comments as this is truly a home away from home. This is a must stay accommodation when visiting Maui. However, you will need to book well in advance. Having stayed for 10 days we can honestly say that the property and hosts were faultless. Have no hesitation in recommending, in fact it's the best accommodation we've stayed in! 10 out of 10 in every detail!

Outstanding experience! Adult oriented guest house with lovely rooms that feature a quiet time from 9 pm onwards, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after a day of activities. While no longer offering breakfast, there is a fully stocked kitchen for guest use as well as in room fridges so you can organize your own breakfasts and other meals as you choose. Price point for the accommodation reflects this. Home is super clean and stylish with living room,,TV room, outdoor area with pool, hot tub, etc. staff are exceptional and become friends/ family members overnight. These folks really care about your experience and are constantly asking if you are doing okay, if there is anything they can do for you, etc. outstanding hospitality, generosity and an aloha spirit. Well located to the Lania town centre and other areas. What can we say…everything was perfect and beyond…book with assurance and enjoy!

I absolutely loved this place. The location is perfect in a quiet residential area, but close to the beach and shopping area. The entire house and my own room were perfectly clean, and the common area (especially the kitchen) had almost everything I needed. I also enjoyed chatting with staff members and other guests almost every day. Unfortunately, I was too busy to stay and relax at the house during the day (4 nights stay), but every time I went out and came back at night, I felt like I was coming home to family or friends. This is the exact feeling of "Home away from home". This place really made my Maui trip very special. I really hated to leave, but now I must return to Maui to stay in this place again near future.

My wife and I have stayed at the guest house 3 times dating back to 2002. Each time was a pleasure. This time was for our 40th anniversary and I must say it was the best. The changes brought on by Covid created some changes to the property from what we had experienced before but they were tastefully and beautifully done, and the house still has a special feel to it. Tanna and her team were always helpful and accommodating. Best Value on the island in my opinion.

We stayed in one of the back rooms with a private lanai which was beautiful and serene. The house was impeccably clean and the hosts, John and Heather, could not have been more gracious and welcoming. They were a wealth of information- with recommendations for activities and places to visit. They also anticipated our needs - offering snorkeling gear and having fresh brewed coffee available early every morning! Added bonuses for us were the use of a cooler for our days exploring and the use of a washer and dryer free of charge! The location was excellent too. A great beach just a little down the road perfect for snorkeling, swimming and playing in the sand! The Maui Guesthouse is a great value and we hope to visit again.

The Maui Guest House is a hidden jewel in Lahaina. The owner Tanna makes sure this delightful guest house is always immaculate. The décor is stylish Hawaiian and very charming. It’s absolutely, hands down, the best choice to stay at while vacationing on this beautiful island. It is calm, peaceful, and away from the hundreds of noisy tourists vacationing in the huge hotels. It’s perfect. The lobby was filled with a wonderful and healthy breakfast spread before the Covid epidemic, and the large communal kitchen was always fully stocked with everything you could ask for. The bedrooms and bathroom are lovely; large and comfortable with beautiful stained-glass windows, plenty of towels, soaps, and shampoos. Tanna set up small kitchens on the lanai attached to each bedroom. It was a smart idea to have a private breakfast out there until Covid rules ended. Her main assistant Barbara is always so friendly and gives us the best sightseeing ideas and restaurants to go to, away from the average loud tourists. If you like a busy atmosphere you can drive minutes away into the main town of Lahaina. Beaches, restaurants, shops, galleries, flea markets, bookstores, groceries, a Post Office, and everything you could possibly want can be found only minutes away. It’s a captivating little town but go early to get a good parking spot. The Maui Guest House is a wonderful and enchanting place to stay after a long day of sightseeing. The location is ideal, and there is no extra resort or parking fee. Tanna and Barbara are to be commended on running this guesthouse to perfection year after year. It is absolutely charming, the ambience is perfect, and we look forward to returning next winter. Did I mention it’s immaculate! If you are so inclined, they supply beach chairs, coolers, and all other stuff you may need if you like to sit on the beach. There is a BBQ for your use and a small pool and hot tub on the veranda. We’ve stayed here 4 times and always hate to leave. This guest house makes our trip to Maui very special. We love staying there, and you will too!

From the minute we arrived, we felt as if we were visiting family. Yes, the Guest House is beyond beautiful, tucked away in a quiet residential area. Yes, the rooms were all one of a kind with breathtaking stained glass, and such amazing wood carvings on walls & furniture. Beyond the beauty of this vintage building, is the warm welcome from tanna and her staff! There seems to be nothing they won't do to make your vacation perfect. Most "modern" accommodations have small common rooms, this building has huge open rooms to relax & enjoy, the outside deck (with pool & hot tub) is on two levels! Inside are two large living areas, kitchen for all to use, laundry facilities and probably more that I've forgotten! We learned first hand the meaning of "Aloha", the Hawaiian Culture's strong sense of responsibility for each other, and the natural world. You can enjoy most everything Maui has to offer, or just relax and smell the flowers here. We have family in Lahaina, so we will be anxiously waiting for our next visit. Thank you tanna !!!!!
