I was so excited to find this property when looking for places to stay on Maui and it absolutely did not disappoint. It’s well stocked with everything you may need, whether you’re hanging around the house (like I did) or looking to go to the nearby beaches.
Sweeping ocean views with spectacular sunsets are the highlight. I spent my mornings on the Lanai watching the boats and the afternoons by the pool, either cooling off in the water or in the shade on the deck.
Martha was a great host, checking in to make sure our stay was satisfactory but also providing some personal touches since I was celebrating a milestone birthday.
This is a truly fantastic property, so glad we were able to find it. It made for 5 nights in Paradise! If you’re on the fence, don’t be. Book it.

One of the most beautiful and comfortable vacation homes, Hale Alana affords spectacular views in an accessible and yet private location. Every imaginable amenity is provided in a house which easily accommodates six people. We enjoyed being close to Wailea, great golf, spectacular beaches, whale watching and snorkeling cruises, and excellent restaurants while being able to reach Maui upcountry within a short drive. Hale Alana is expertly managed by Martha and Ben, who ensured we had everything we needed for a terrific family vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property. The home was clean and tidy, the rooms and beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything needed in order to cook meals at home with the family. The garden is spectacular and allows for peaceful hang outs by the lava rock pool. We enjoyed the ocean view while relaxing in the hot tub on the lanai and watching the sunsets every night. Keawakapu beach is a 7 min drive away and the home had all the beach supplies including lots of towels and beach chairs needed for a day out. Martha was amazing and responsive and checked in with us to ensure we had everything that we needed. Highly recommend!

Our family of 6 adults stayed 7 nights at Hale Alana for a special Birthday! The home and grounds were immaculate. There was plenty of room for everyone to gather together or have some privacy. The outdoor space and views were fabulous. The pool area was lovely although the water was too cold for me! We spent time watching the whales, grilling meals and relaxing on the spacious lanai. Martha had everything we could want or need. The house has everything for going to the beach to books, games, cleaning supplies to dishes and serving pieces for having a dinner party. There was comfortable bedding, towels and toiletries. The residential neighborhood was quiet and close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. It was a perfect stay and I can’t say enough positive things about our great stay here!

Wow, this place is incredible! Immediately upon arrival we were taken aback by the beauty of the location, decor, and landscaping. The entire property is so well maintained and equipped, and extremely comfortable. All of the bedrooms were beyond our satisfaction in terms of bed comfort, bathroom amenities, and space. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the cookware and tools you'd need. The views from all parts of the house were amazing - the bedrooms and showers had incredible ocean views, and the amount of space on the lanai was so wonderful. We were able to do yoga on the lanai, eat at the table/chairs there, and enjoy the sun and hot tub all while watching whales spout and breach away. What a magical place to stay! We also enjoyed that this place offers a little more privacy and quiet as it is up the mountain tucked away from the resorts, but still close enough for a short drive to the beach or nearby restaurants. Hosts were also very responsive, kind and accommodating. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

There are several issues with the description. Needs to read at the start: Property manger is onsite and overlooks the pool, with a cutout specifically for that purpose. If you have females in your group, they will need to be prepared. You will also have to sign a waiver, which is not mentioned. There is no central A/C There are underpowered wall units throughout that will NOT cool during the day. When we asked about it, manager suggested we should go to the pool... When I expressed our displeasure, they sent someone into the house without our knowledge. All of our stuff, computers, etc. were in there, out in the open. Should never be done. The one being watched by her spouse. We were so disappointed, we left 2 days early. To their credit, they credited the 2 days, which we did not ask for or expect. The property is well situated and beautiful, but the issues and price are not worth the view. I rarely leave negative reviews... but I feel compelled to save another what we went through. Ruined our vacation. If the above does not bother you, then the views are spectacular.

Our main reason for booking this property was the pool we would be able to share with our families. The day we got there, the pool was freezing and unbearable to use. We ended up not using the pool once even though the weather was a sunny 80 degrees the whole 9 days. There was a hot tub but unfortunately the tub was leaking the whole time and we had to refill it frequently. There were ants in a few rooms in the home and a few cockroaches. We were unaware that we would be sharing the property/backyard and pool with the property manager 24/7. They also rang the doorbell almost every day during ours toddlers’ naps (waking them up a few times), even though we told them that it was their nap time and they were sleeping. Communication was not great before getting to the property. The property manager did not answer most emails. I did not receive the check in information prior to arrival. I ended up having to email (which no response) and call for the information and was told I should’ve already gotten that email awhile ago. Our due date and method of payment changed without notification. We were originally supposed to pay for the remaining balance by check and mailed to the manager. I contacted her to ask what address I needed to send the check to and was told that they won’t be taking check anymore and that they will charge the credit card on file and charge it 42 days in advance instead of the 30 days we were told upon booking. The property otherwise had beautiful views of the ocean and got to watch whales from the balcony.

This property was perfect for our family. We stayed for two weeks at this lovely home located in Maui Meadows. It was very roomy and incredibly well stocked with everything you'd need. The yard and pool area are simply gorgeous and we spent many hours there swimming and sunning. The yard and pool area are fully gated so it's safe for young children. The lanai is spacious with lots of outdoor furniture and a grill as well as a hot tub. The lanai can be accessed from the two primary bedrooms, as well as the main living room. There is a large garage that is stocked with lots of beach chairs and beach equipment plus an extra fridge. There is an outdoor shower that is attached to the garage so it's convenient to shower off after a beach day. The towels and linens are plentiful, and the home has all the important large and small appliances and is stocked with dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent, paper towels, shower gel and shampoo as well as some basic condiments. The A/C worked great! Communication with the property manager was exceptional. They live nearby in a separate home, at the bottom of the property. The neighbourhood is a lovely (and hilly) residential area. We walked almost every day, but walking into the Wailea area would take about 40 minutes and walking back would be mostly uphill. The views and sunsets from the lanai are truly spectacular! The home decor is a bit dated as reflected in the property photos, but everything was very clean and in good repair. The furniture and beds were great.

Despite the fire, we enjoyed out stay at Hale Alana. The grounds and pool area place you in a tropical paradise. The property manager left on our 4th day. The temporary caretakers left early and returned late but we only needed help lighting the BBQ which we identified the tank needed replacing. We travel to Hawaii almost every year and have stayed at some of the top areas in Wailea and Makena. The view at Hale Alana rivaled all. It does show its age. Kitchen lacks necessary cooking utensils and several things need replacing due to age. The TV monitors circa 1990,which definitely need updating to smart devices. Despite the few shortcomings, we would definitely return once the island recovers from the devastation.

House is exactly as described, well appointed & stocked, fantastic pool and amazing view. Although we enjoyed some excursions and dining on Maui most of our time was spent relaxing on the lanai or in/at the pool!! We were on the lanai by 7am everyday, moved to pool when it started getting warm then returned to lanai for sunset & star gazing!
3 bedrooms & 3 baths were all great, everyone was comfortable and also enjoyed playing cards around the inside & outside tables and lounging in the living room to catch some late night TV. If planning some beach days everything you could possibly need is in the garage. Cooler, comfy chairs, umbrella, mats & boogie boards!
You can’t go wrong with this house! Martha was very helpful at every stage of planning and met us to settle us in. Mahalo!

Holy ****...this house was awesome! When I saw the pictures I thought it was too good to be true, but the house did not disappoint. Martha met us at the house when we first arrived and was so nice! She explained everything about the house and gave us an insight on where to go and what do in Maui. The kitchen was huge, well equipped for any meal you could possibly cook, and they even had a second fridge in the garage. The rooms were spacious, clean, and each had their own full bathroom. Two rooms had glass sliding doors that opened up the porch and had a beautiful view of the sunrise/sunset. The pool was shaded for most of the day, but when the sun was out, the pool was great. The backyard was big and had enough room for my brother and I to play some paddle ball. Finally, and in my opinion the most important thing, the location of the house was literally perfect. It was secluded in a nice neighborhood so we didn't have a lot of noise, but conveniently close enough to all the beaches, restaurants, and activities we did on the trip. I hope that one day our family can come back to Martha's place and rent it out for 2 weeks instead of 8 days. Mahalo!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very well appointed with kitchen appliances/cookware, linens, pool toys, snorkel gear, beach chairs etc. The house was clean and well maintained. I can’t say enough about the view WOW!!! Our only wish was that the mattresses were more comfortable. And a queen bed in the 3rd bedroom would have been nice. We’d absolutely stay here again and recommend to friends.

My husband, two college-age daughters and I stayed at this lovely home in the Maui Meadows neighborhood for six nights. Our location felt close enough to all the amenities and beaches yet far enough away from the crowds generated by Wailea hotels. The house definitely has a "in the hills California vibe."
The best part about the house is the gorgeous views from the deck, which we most enjoyed in the morning before we left for the day and returned home to in time for sunset. We also appreciated how well equipped the home was upon our arrival and thought Martha, the property manager was helpful and a pleasure to work with.

We were a group of seven spanning three generations - three families and three bedrooms. The house was perfect - spacious, clean and extremely well-equipped. The large main deck and Weber Bar B Q were used throughout as were the small decks off each front bedroom. Sunset over the ocean, from the deck was a daily ritual. The large garage kept our two vehicles out of the sun and the second refrigerator and seemingly endless supply of beach tools, towels and toys for all ages appreciated. There were only a couple of very minor issues and they were addressed immediately to our complete satisfaction. We have no hesitation in recommending Hale Alana for anyone.

Two families stayed in this absolutely beautiful home. The views from the large family room and 2 master bedrooms are breathtaking. The home is well stocked with towels and kitchen items, not to mention the beach accessories. The convenience of its location made our travels around the island that much easier. We would stay here again any time.

Hale Alana is a perfect house, indubitably. We were seven persons (5 adults and 2 teenagers).
It is fully equipped, clean, easy to be managed, extremely quiet and with a beautiful view and a very relaxing garden and swimming pool (that, even though it is small, can allow guests to have a very refreshing and relaxing bath). No one detail has disappointed us. Above all, Martha Ingalls has been a SUPERB manager, able to make us feel at home from the very first hour and taking care of all of us in a very warm and discrete way. She has been always prompt with her support and present whenever we needed any kind of support/suggestion/indication. Stunning Manager indeed! We strongly suggest Hale Alana!

We were in Maui for a family trip to celebrate 60th birthdays. This rental property made the trip such a wonderful and relaxing time. The house itself is very nicely laid out, with 3 very private/separate bedrooms and bathrooms. The living area and kitchen have beautiful décor and many items in addition to the typical rental property. The kitchen was fully stocked and the beach items (towels, coolers, snorkel gear, kids toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, etc...) were extremely convenient. I would have to say the best part about this rental was the deck with its amazing view and also the pool area. The pool was very refreshing in the hot weather. The neighborhood was extremely quiet at all times and made this such a relaxing holiday. The listing indicated another tenant was located on the property, which actually was in a separate building from the main house and partially surrounded by trees. Privacy was not an issue at all.
We absolutely would love to rent this property again and will recommend it to friends and family.

Awesome location very close to the Wailea area, panoramic ocean views, spectacular sunsets. This house has everything you need for people of all ages, very well equipped with beach toys for children as well. We had both sets of grandparents stay with my wife and 2 small children, everyone had very comfortable beds. The outdoor pool was really nice, as it made you feel that you were at a local secret swimming spot, surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. I would recommend this place to anyone travelling with a large group as it was well equipped which was "the best bang for your buck", after researching other VRBO's in this area. Martha and her assistant were extremely helpful in answering any questions that you may have, and they had a helpful book which gave you the local breakdown of beaches, restaurants, and activities to enjoy. It was a pleasure to stay their, and we intend on repeating another visit at this location!

I was there with my family ranging in all ages from 13 to 85 years old, celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary and my dad's 85th birthday. We were there for 11 nights, which included being there over Christmas.
Martha, the property manager, had been very accommodating starting from my initial inquiry about the property. She had also been very responsive throughout the duration of our stay.
The house itself is beautiful. There are three bedrooms, all which have bathrooms in each bedroom, all with showers. The nice thing is, there are no stairs in the house to get to any of the bedrooms, they are all on the main level. There are only a few stairs going down to the family room which also lead out to the lanai.
The house was very well equipped with everything we could have needed. Starting with the kitchen, there was every kind of utensil, pot, pan, coffee makers, and plenty of dishes and silverware for enough people for days. There were more than enough towels, linens, pillows, blankets, beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, snorkels, etc.
There is an outdoor shower which was nice, with controlled temperature, that is connected to the garage. It is convenient because as soon as you get out of the car, coming from the beach, you can get all the sand off before entering the house.
The grounds are beautiful however, a downfall for us was getting to the backyard/pool. You have to walk out the front door and down the driveway to get to the back. It felt like it wasn't part of the house. The pool is beautiful but it is VERY cold. Cold to the point that it was not enjoyable to swim in or hang out at. It is clearly stated that it is not heated but even in 80 degree weather, it was shockingly cold. The hot tub on the other hand, on the lanai, was a bonus and was really nice to have.
After paying the final payment, 60 days prior to our arrival, we were sent a bunch of instructions and rules. Included in there was a heads up that there were long term tenants living in the cottage below the house. We specifically chose this house for the privacy and having our own home and were concerned. The cottage is actually a separate property at the bottom of the driveway, it is not part of the main house at all. The tenants were not a problem at all, we never even saw them the entire 10 days we were there.
The Hale Alana house was perfect for our family. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property.

We had stayed at Hale Alana back in 2001 for our 20th wedding anniversary and enjoyed it so much that we decided to celebrate our 30th anniversary there. We spent the first week in May there with our grown-up children and really had a great time. The pool in the back was not there in 2001 and is a terrrific addition to the property. It also makes it hard to get up the enthusiasm to go to the beach when you have your own private lagoon in your back yard! Since the house is up on a hillside and the deck is quite a ways up off the ground the view from the back deck is spectacular. The back deck also has an outside dining area, gas grill, and a hot tub. Even though you do have neighbors, the property is situated so that it still feels quite private. I do need to point out that there is a small cottage out on the back of the property that is occupied. However, during the week that we were there we never encountered the tenants. They were very quiet and kept to themselves which made it feel very private. The 2 master bedrooms are very nice and have great views off the back deck. The third bedroom is really better for children or young adults since it has two double beds and is not as large as the other two bedrooms. While the property is not close to the beach it is a short drive to many of the nicer south Kihei beaches as well as to several very good restaurants-the Five Palms is highly recommended for a great view and good food. In summary, it is a great place to stay if you want a nice private atmoshpere with all the amenities.

This home was perfect for our family vacation! There were seven of us at the house - age range from 14 months to 65 years. There was plenty of space and the three bathrooms worked out wonderfully. Here are some details:
- stunning ocean views
- kitchen absolutely fully stocked
- amazing selection of beach and pool toys - plenty of chairs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrellas, etc.
- wonderful, refreshing pool and waterfall - although not heated, we were able to enjoy it and swim! The small pool was great for our 1 year old daughter
- great location - a short drive to shopping, the best beaches in Maui and restaurants
- access to a very helpful concierge
- nice hot tub
- perfectly tended landscaping
- great outdoor shower off of the garage for coming back from those beaches without facilities
- abundant supply of Maui literature and tourist information
- we did have a bit of a bug problem, but the property manager had it cleaned up the same day
We loved our stay and hope to come back.

My family just spent a week at Hale Alana and had a wonderful vacation. There were seven of us and the house accommodated us quite nicely. Having three bathrooms with seven adults is a definite bonus. The rental totally met our expectations, beautiful decorations, outstanding views and a pool that was not only beautiful to look at, was delightful to swim in. Not sure how it would work with small children because the pool is quite deep - but there is a smaller pool that would be okay for kids that is only about 4-1/2 feet deep. The house is as described, and it was less than 10 minutes by car to the closest white sand beach. I also have to say that the beds were VERY comfortable - not sure I can say that about every rental we've been in. We had one issue with the jacuzzi and the owner dealt with it immediately, the repairman was there within an hour on a Sunday!! I highly recommend this property and will rent it again when we return to Maui. Aloha!
