The Old Lahaina House
407 Ilikahi St., Lahaina, Hawaii, 96761, USA, Lahaina, Hawaii, USAWhy We Like It
This little B&B is in a great location in Old Lahaina, just a two minute walk from the beach and an easy walk to Front Street for dining and shopping. The host, Sherry, is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the house is very charming.
Fodor's Expert Review
Guests are treated like ohana (family) here, where comfy rooms are a two-minute stroll down a private lane to an uncrowded beach, and just a few blocks from the dining, shopping, and historic attractions of Lahaina. Each room has a private bathroom, TV, air-conditioning, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, and mosquito netting over the beds for tropical ambiance. The owner, Sherry, can help you book activities and may even offer a van tour.
You Should Know The common spaces and pool areas can occasionally be a bit cluttered.

Tip The website for the B&B doesn’t do a very good job of showing off the individual accommodations. Check other sites for better pictures, then book directly by phone or email.

Lobby
There is no lobby at this B&B, but a small check in area.
Pool
The small pool is lovely and intimate, the centerpiece of the house. It offers a nice place to relax, a little oasis in this setting. There’s also an outdoor kitchen next to the pool that makes it a nice place to cook and hang out.
What's Nearby
Getting Around
It’s easy (and preferable) to explore Maui’s smaller towns by foot, but to get to them and around the island, you’ll need to rent a car. If you plan on exploring the Road to Hana, get something with a little extra horsepower (but not too big as the road can get very narrow).
Restaurants
Enjoy a great meal in a fun, relaxed atmosphere at Down the Hatch (5-min drive). This self-service restaurant is a favorite among locals and tourists, loved as much for its vibe as for its drinks and food. The southern aloha spirit runs strong with friendly staff and a menu that features heavily on fish and seafood, particularly in sandwich and taco form, but also includes specialties like chicken & waffles. Those looking for a plant-based option won’t be able to get enough of their sweet potato tacos. It’s one of two restaurants in Lahaina that stays open until midnight. Round your meal out with a refreshing treat from sister company (in the same courtyard) Hawaii Shave Ice Co.
For a casual meal with one of the best ocean views in Lahaina, try Aloha Mixed Plate (9-min drive) for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You’ll get your plate lunch fix with some traditional items like teriyaki beef and kalbi ribs, as well as a loco moco plate, and a mixed plate that lets you try a few different items. Besides the famed plates, you’ ll find a fresh breakfast menu, and sandwiches, salads, and noodles at lunch and dinner. You’ll also find a special treat on their menu--a few of their items, including the pork and beets, are cooked in the nightly imu from next door’s luau. AMP is a good choice for families.
