Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Ho’olei delivers a luxury home-away-from-home feel in Wailea: spacious multi-bedroom villas (often with en-suite baths), high-end kitchens, and sweeping lanais that open for true indoor–outdoor living. Guests repeatedly rave about panoramic ocean and sunset views (with winter whale sightings), quiet, beautifully kept grounds, and a resort-caliber pool complex with hot tubs, waterfalls, a shallow kid area, and a good fitness center. It’s a favorite for families and multigenerational groups thanks to the generous layouts, privacy, and easy gathering spaces.

Location is a standout. Most villas are a short walk or quick drive to Wailea Beach, the Shops at Wailea, restaurants, coffee, and golf. Many units come thoughtfully stocked with beach gear (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, wagons, boogie boards) plus plenty of towels and laundry facilities; kitchens are typically well equipped for cooking and lanai grilling. Check-in is usually smooth, hosts/managers are highly responsive, and welcome touches (snack baskets, early/late check-in when possible) are common.

Know before you go: independent Ho’olei rentals generally do not include access to Grand Wailea pools (the on-site Ho’olei pool complex is praised but bring your own towels). Some lower-row or road-adjacent villas report noticeable road noise on the lanai, and the uphill walk back from the beach can be tiring for some—many guests simply drive and park. As with any large community, occasional maintenance or cleanliness hiccups appear (AC or appliance issues, BBQs needing cleaning, tropical ants), but most were addressed quickly. Supplies and beach gear quality can vary by unit, so check listings. Overall, reviewer sentiment is overwhelmingly positive: luxe, roomy villas in a prime Wailea location with a serene pool scene and stellar views.

Our group of 7 (2 couples and 3 teenagers) loved our stay at Ho’olei. The condo was fabulous, and the location was great for all the excursions we did while in Maui (Haleakalā sunrise and bike ride, Molokini and Turtle Town snorkeling, Road to Hana full loop counterclockwise with hike to Waimoku Falls, Te Au Moana Luau, and surfing lessons for the kids). There is a 4th bedroom with two pullout coaches where our two teenage boys slept. Our favorite thing about the condo was having coffee each morning on the lanai, followed closely by dinners and sunsets on the lanai. We also enjoyed the wonderful community pool and hot tub.

This property was as advertised, and we appreciated the space and location. We brought our 2 children along with their spouses and the 6 of us all had enough room. The pictures we accurate making me feel at home when we arrived. We would definitely consider this property again for a group stay.

We had an amazing time at the Ho’olei townhome. The location in Wailea is convenient with a short walk to the beach and walking/driving distance to great shopping and restaurants. This gem of a property has amazing views of the pool area (which is beautiful) and views of the ocean in the distance. Well appointed with all of the kitchen accessories needed as well as beach accessories such as chairs, umbrellas, etc. our family of 8 adults were all very comfortable and it exceeded our needs. Highly recommend!

Our family absolutely LOVED this property. It was beautifully decorated and the view from the lanai was breathtaking! Everything a family would need for the beach and the pool was provided including a cooler, beach towels, chairs and an umbrella. It was in the perfect location as well. I can’t say enough about how amazing this property is! Highly recommended!

Absolutely gorgeous! Everything was perfectly clean, check-in process was easy, plenty of kitchen essentials, plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, towels even a cooler and small trailer if you carry a bunch of stuff to the beach, checkout instructions were easy. The views from the porch are terrific!!!! We loved sitting out there in the morning enjoying our breakfast and again in the evening to grill out and relax. The pool and hot tubs were a great way to unwind late in the afternoon. The neighborhood was quiet and the location near the beach, restaurants, food and gift shopping made it easy to access just about anything you need. The home was perfectly decorated just like the pictures showed. We absolutely couldn't have chosen a better home for our stay!!

This was our third stay at Ho’olei and it remains an absolute favorite. We visited with our three adult children, their spouses, and our 10-month-old grandson. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the layout was perfect for both gathering and having privacy when needed.The property managers are absolutely lovely—responsive, thoughtful, and helpful throughout our stay.The only hiccup was an unexpected interaction with the on-site HOA manager during a quiet family dinner at the poolside island. Although we had prior approval from the property managers, we were told we couldn’t use the space because it would deter other guests from using it. It makes no sense to ask guests not to use a space designed for exactly that purpose. The conversation was uncalled for and dampened an otherwise great visit. We’ve never seen anyone else use that area in all our visits, so it was especially disappointing.That aside, everything else was wonderful, and we will absolutely be back!

Great location and accommodations. Perfect setup for family of 8 people to allow plenty of space with great amenities. Access to unit was very seamless and property managers were very responsive when a minor issue with bugs in the kitchen arose. Would highly recommend and would stay there again on a future trip to Maui!

This was a fantastic stay for our family. Plenty of room for everyone, top notch furnishing and appliances/kitchen gadgets (including some I don't have at home and now need to get!). The townhome was even better than we expected- better quality, super clean, well stocked.Steve and team did an outstanding job, first in all the communication between Steve and myself, then with the local team, accommodating our check-in needs and quickly responding to a very minor issue we had. Couldn't have asked for more.This is a great home to book!

House clean was disappointing. Kitchen backsplash had food debris on the tiles, handprints on most doors and mirrors total surfaces not cleaned. Upon arrival open window above door entrance doorway. Liam had to close it. Cleaning staff had left key ring in storage unit door and it was wide open. Light out in the master bedroom closet/Liam replaced bulb. CurtesyLotions: shampoo, etc. not refilled so most of them empty.Lanai rugs dirty and patio sofa had lots of bird droppings on it.I understand this is a new cleaning service and thought you needed to know. Thanks

Thoroughly enjoyed our week. With 3 bedrooms each with a private bathroom, it accommodated our children and their spouses. The outdoor space was where we spent most of our meals and time when at the condo. It was a short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. The hosts were very thoughtful and had all the supplies you needed for a day at the beach! For our first time in Maui, it was enjoyed by all.

Everything was wonderful. We’ve stayed in this community before and will likely stay again. We’ve also recommended this community to friends. Everything was great. Even the leaking air conditioning drain pipe in the bedroom ceiling was handled expeditiously and professionally. Wonderful experience. Mahalo.

We stayed here for almost a week in early May and it was hard to leave! The communication prior to arriving was excellent and much appreciated. We were in immediate contact with one of the property managers upon landing. They accommodated an early check in for us and he met us at the house, showed us around and how to use some things and answered all of our questions! The house was extremely well stocked with all kitchen utensils and pans for cooking in. We utilized the BBQ as well! We were pleasantly surprised to find the house stocked with beach towels, some beach chairs and umbrellas, a cooler, as well as a wagon we used to pack things back and forth to the pool. We traveled with young kids so this was a huge blessing! The pool was amazing. We walked right down the hill and swam every evening after spending the morning at various beaches minutes away. The location of this villa was perfection. Walking distance to the beach walk, shopping plaza, coffee shops and more. Our favorite spot for happy hour was Pint and Cork with great appetizers and cocktails! It is in the shopping plaza a short walk up the road. The villa felt very secure in a gated community. We did golf at one of the properties on site and the views were incredible. The villa itself was very clean and well kept, plenty of linens as well. They provided soap for the washing machine, and all cleaning supplies and garbage bags. Check out was very simple, and quick! Overall our stay was fantastic so many memories made and we can’t wait to come back. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

This property was truly so beautiful! Our family reunion of 8 siblings with our 87 year old Mom had the best time! The views are lovely, the full moon off the lanai every evening was memorable. Plenty of space for us all to enjoy together, and have privacy. The property is so quiet and the pool area is great and only a few people there! The host is responsive and takes care of any issues. Everything was sparkling clean and all the supplies for the beach were so helpful. The kitchen was wonderful to cook in. Nice restaurants within a short drive. We hope to come and stay again, this place really made our trip!!!

This was a perfect spacious lovely home in a fabulous location and was just the perfect home base for our daughter's "wedding week" in Wailea. We enjoyed the fabulous pool and the proximity to the beach and all the fabulous restaurants Wailea has to offer. Management was extremely responsive, allowed us to check in early and depart late as well - This is a great home for togetherness, and family time.

Our family of 7 adults enjoyed our stay tremendously and all our expectations were met and exceeded. Check-in and check-out were easy. The unit was very clean and was well-stocked for cooking in the beautiful kitchen. Every small appliance you could need was available and in like new condition, as well as spices and a small supply of oil. The welcome basket of coffee, chocolate and other treats was a nice surprise. Equipment for fun pool and beach days were great to have -- 3 boogie boards, beach chairs and towels for 8, beach umbrellas, beach cart and rolling cooler. The view from the balcony was spectacular and we enjoyed barbecue dinners several nights. There was easy access to the pool as this unit overlooks the pool area. We would wholeheartedly recommend and stay at this unit in Ho'olei again. Mahalo!

The property is beautiful, in a great location. We had 7 adults & were extremely comfortable. The villa was well stocked, better than we expected. The only issues we had were the dish washer did not work. We called & repair man showed up within an hour & said it was fixed, but we continued to have the same issue. Also limited space to hang wet swimsuits & towels. A few hooks in the laundry room, bathrooms or even garage would have been nice.

Comfortable and spacious, but it was the peacefulness, comfort and view from the lanai that drew us outdoors while we were staying. Easy walk to the fabulous pool area, and very easy access to many beautiful beaches. We would absolutely stay here again.

This place was incredible! The view alone was breathtaking every morning to wake up to. Could see the whales jumping and more than 180 degree view.Had everything you needed in kitchen and bathrooms. Was in great location, you can walk to beach or shops easily. You are up a hill obviously because of the view so can always drop someone off if can’t walk up the hill. We will definitely be back

This property proved to be the perfect location for our family vacation as it provided everything we could possibly want! We come to the Island for the Views of the Ocean ...This place has a beautiful view of the ocean where we were able to see whales and stunning sunsets! We like to be in a quieter, cleaner area during our stays which this property fit that requirement perfectly. The townhouse was well appointed, very clean, comfortable, and had 3 perfect living quarters for the whole family to have private escapes when needed. The location was perfect being within walking distance of several great restaurants, golf, a market, coffee, and of course the beach...yes walking distance to spend any amount of time you want with your toes in the sand!
