Mangolani Inn

Seriously the perfect property to stay in Maui! Had an incredible stay at Mangolani Inn. Dave was extremely hospitable and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. The property is gorgeous and peaceful, with lush landscaping and relaxing common areas. The space and landscaping felt like a five-star hotel that was beautifully designed, modern, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches. Location is super convenient. It is a short walk or quick drive to Pā‘ia’s cafes, shops, and beaches, yet quiet at night. I loved the comfortable bed, strong Wi-Fi, and well equipped kitchenette. Beach towels and gear were a bonus. Parking was easy and check in was smooth. Mangolani Inn feels cared for in every detail, and Dave’s warm, attentive hosting made all the difference. I would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet, easy, and gorgeous place to stay. Thanks Dave, you are the BEST!!

We had a wonderful stay at Mangolani Inn! The property and rooms were clean, beautiful, and cozy, offering everything we needed—including a good equipped kitchen, a relaxing hot tub, and other thoughtful amenities that made our visit even more enjoyable. The laid-back, welcoming atmosphere was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Road to Hana. A special thank you to Dave, the host, who was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. One of the kindest gestures was when he let us borrow blankets for the Haleakalā sunrise experience, which made a huge difference during the chilly morning hours. His hospitality truly went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a warm, comfortable place to stay on the north shore of Maui, with a host who genuinely cares about making your visit special, Mangolani Inn is a fantastic choice. We’re grateful for the warm welcome and highly recommend staying here!

Mangolani inn is a beautiful property. Each room looks exactly like the online photos. Dave, the owner, is just a phone call away and will give you endless suggestions to make sure your trip is enjoyable. Having a washer/dryer was so convenient! Loved that! Rooms are behind a secure gate which made us feel safe and cared for. The property is just a few minutes walk to the cool town of Pa’ia. Excellent stay!

Dave was great, upgraded our stay. Great quiet location, easy to get to, room was great. Great location with easy trip to beach and other places. Rodney got us fresh fruit and gave us access to all amenities. Everything was perfect. Road to Hana is overrated, wish we had spent that time doing something else, that's just our opinion.

My wife and i had a wonderful stay! The unit felt quiet, isolated and serene yet close to everything. Super clean, well maintained and decorated. The hot tub was a nice feature as well as all the vegatation. We made use of the beach chairs and towels at nearby Baldwin Park. And the laundry worked great for us. Hopefully our travels will bring us back to Maui so we can stay here again! Dave was a great host!

Absolutely LOVED our stay at the Mangolani Inn. Dave, the owner, was extremely communicative via text, and getting into the property was seamless and easy. The property is incredible. The rooms are so beautiful and comfortable, I'm ready to move in! Only a short walk down the hill to Paia, and there is a fantastic breakfast spot and sushi cart about 25 yards up the hill from the property. We were able to borrow towels and even surfboards to go surfing at the nearby Ho'okipa Beach. Fabulous experience, we can't wait to come back!

Mangolani was a dream it felt like a Balinese oasis. The outdoor area was very impressive so many nice areas to hang out, beautiful plants, a hot tub, and the cherry on top was the outdoor kitchen with a grill. Inside the studio was just as great... spacious, pristine, and well designed. I had all the amenities I needed to feel comfortable. Dave was a great host friendly, responsive, and informative. The location was convenient too just a short walk to the main part of town where the restaurants bars shopping and beach is.

We really enjoyed our time at the Mangolani Inn. It was such a great location, perfectly situated with a short walk to the heart of town of Paia, and within driving distance to some really beautiful locations around the island like the Twin falls, Baldwin Beach, etc. The inn and room itself were beautiful and very clean. The bathroom is spectacular and modern. The backyard garden feels like a mini oasis, so nice to come back to in the evening. There’s ample spots to hang out in the property with a stunning outdoor kitchen, a few outdoor dining tables and a few places to zen out on the property with some beautiful foliage and plants. We had such a beautiful stay for our honeymoon. 🌺

My stay at the Mangolani Inn was incredibly special... and very healing. Dave and his family are such great humans. They told me about the amazing water system setup in their house, and I was sold. For me, good water access is huge. The system runs throughout the entire grounds! So even the showers were filtered, which was wonderful. The other people that would come through and stay at the inn were really interesting and fun to meet. Adventurous, world traveler types from all over. I ended up staying in the large room, with kitchen. SO nice. If you want to really treat yourself... that's the one. A few of my favorite things about my stay: -Making smoothies from the bananas grown in their yard -Highly imaginative and magical conversations with their young son -Great yoga within a 2 minute walk -Easy walk down to the ocean, swimming every day -Sunshine and fresh air! I really cannot say enough about this place. Just good energy all around.... if that's what you are looking for.... which hopefully, it is! Can't wait to come back again....

Dave is awesome! Responds quickly and Rodney was a great help on the property. Can't wait to return, great location and convenient amenities! Loved having washer/dryer and we were in the jacuzzi every day! Loved the gorgeous property and Tazzle the cat!

The most amazing place in Maui, can not beat the peace and quiet and service here! Do not mimosas by!!

We have stayed in lots of different accommodations in Paia. This is definitely our favorite. It is absolutely lovely. Can't beat the location. Walking distance to both Paia town and the beach. Our studio was large, very well appointed and super comfortable. Full kitchen that was nicely set up for cooking meals. There was also a very large outdoor area with outdoor kitchen, grill, beautiful, shaded dining area, and even a full bathroom. Our host Dave was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be coming back!!!

Dave was the most amazing host. The rooms were clean and beautiful. So peaceful and an amazing location. Highly recommend !

This place is unbelievably heavenly. The property is a beautiful oasis of palm trees, tropical plants, fountains and art. You really feel like you are in a tranquil paradise like Bali. The location is incredible, walking distance to world class meals like Mamas fish house and more down to earth healthy and delicious spots like Mana and Cafe Des Amis. Everything is at your finger tips like yoga / massage / kite surfing / surfing / snorkeling / hiking etc. This is now our new spot whenever we come to Maui! Thank you for the unforgettable stay! We can't thank you enough, Dave!

Loved this place so much where planning in coming back again this time with family. It feels like home only in paradise. Dave and family where very welcoming and accommodating. Even the staff around the property where friendly. I felt secure on the property at all times and never gave a second though when being outside at night. Its located in a nice area with beaches, restaurants and shopping just a few minutes up the street by car.

Ok, if you like relaxing away from all the hustle, you gotta stay here. It's living the local life. The host, David and family are the warmest and friendliness locals around. They have this outdoor kitchen so you don't have to spend the huge bucks on food. Also, these locals will give you the best spots on Maui. Five star for your money here.

A number if circumstances led me to The Mangolani Inn and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision! Paia is the perfect little town if you want to avoid the "resorty" tourist vide. And the Inn is just a short walk to all the restaurants and shops, and a few more steps to the beach! You can even see the ocean from their tree house which is the space I am going to stay next! So obviously I would stay there again and again... And again! Also, it's a gated property so I felt safe to leave my car door unlocked and even my bedroom door open the whole time. Dave and his wife and son, Nila and max are the coolest and super laid back. I felt more like a guest in their home than just renting a studio for a week. They are super friendly and incredibly accommodating. I really enjoyed seeing them around the courtyard and sharing stories and a drink with them here and there. The room I slept in was the medium size, and the moment I walked in I was impressed with how large it really was! Almost everything was renovated and beautiful. Full functioning kitchen which I used regularly. Bathroom was perfect with a cute shower and lots of counter space. Now the bed... Was it made from clouds in heaven?! Probably not but, man, did I sleep great every night! The manager who lives on the property, Scott, was also super rad! He was available to answer questions and give secret local tips on what to do around the island. I spent a lot of time hanging out with him when he was around and I feel like I had a more special experience because of that. I also loved seeing the pups and cat hanging around. Did I mention there's a comfy hammock and hot tub? You're welcome!:) The space is just hands down the most unique, relaxing, hospitable place I've stayed, and for the price it's a no-brainer to go with the Mangolani Inn!

Hands down the BEST experience I've had renting a vacation home. Dave takes great care of the house, and everything's clean and very well equipped (including laundry, beach chairs/towels/umbrellas, and more things you don't have to pack). The entire place gives off a warm and inviting atmosphere, and guests are made to feel like friends of the family, like true houseguests. It never feels empty - music is playing outside or people are laughing, and Dave is always around tinkering with the house (which just shows how much he cares). I recommend this to anyone wishing to stay in Maui - the location in the town of Paia, just 15 minutes from the Kahului airport, is convenient for getting to any part of the island: the beaches around Lahaina and Kapalua for snorkeling are just an hour away, Haleakala Crater is 1.5hrs to the summit, the South Shore beaches are just over half an hour, and the Road to Hana basically starts right in Paia. I will certainly come back to the Mangolani Inn next time I'm on this island.

Hey, this is unfortunate. We lost our room when you double-booked Dave. It's as simple as that. That deserves a negative review (readers: see Nina's comment a few days ago below). Your booker assured us we were reserved (See below). I'm sure you're a nice guy often. But there are business processes that should be improved: (1) If you as the owner are booking when you are out of the country and not having great computer connection, you should be more careful allowing your booker to 'confirm' reservations. (2) If a deposit is necessary to consider a room reservation confirmed, you and the booker should make that clear to potential guests. I would've let it go with Nina's comment, which was honest. But you since accusing *us*(!) of not having the aloha spirit, and your getting her name wrong, and accusing me of blackmail isn't sitting well, after you guys first double-booked and kicked us out and admitted 'miscommunication' (double-booking) which really jeopardized our trip. It seems you will reply with some accusations against me, but for the record it still seems worth it, so I've typed up what happened so others can clearly see for themselves what happened and help (you) and them avoid the same mistake. I'm not going to make this personal against you, just stating the facts. So we called the Mangolani number on your website on Jan. 4, 2015 and spoke with the booker twice and did everything he asked of us. He had us confirmed in the Treehouse room on the second call. On the first call, which was very pleasant as it lasted about 20 minutes, I asked specifically "Are you sure you don't have to contact the owner?" The booker said, "No, I'm the one who does the booking." He never mentioned that the owner also does booking. How would we know given what he told us? I suppose all future guests should speak with you Dave the owner regardless of what they are told and pay a deposit before considering the room booked. You guys should get that together. Also, he seemed very nice and not so new to us. I even had the foresight to ask the question, and was told no. He also did not ask for a deposit, which we certainly would have given. And so after the first preliminary call, and given the availability of the Treehouse room for a week, we happily researched flights and a few days stay at another part of the island. And found a flight and hotel that would work within our budget and schedule. But before committing to those I called your booker back the confirm our reservation with Mangolani on the second call to him. We booked our trip around Mangolani, after he said we were confirmed on the second call. (Why would I make that up? Why would I book a flight and other hotel around Mangolani reservations if it wasn't confirmed? I would not.) We then went ahead and made and paid for our plane reservations and the other hotel reservations. We did not hear until the next day (not hours later) you had already booked the room, and we were out. I still do not know what we did wrong. Often in this situation, a business will give some sort of compensation to the compromised party. So I did tell your booker we were very unhappy, and that we hoped he could ask for a discount on a future visit or something, and/or might leave a bad review. That's not blackmail, that's a natural response. He never spoke with you about this anyway. Just held the line on the "you're out dude" call that we were out of the room. Your booker did try to find a place to put us in in the area before he called that next day with the bad news, so he seemed to understand the snafu we'd been given. (He could not find another place; we were very lucky we did.) This does happen. My girlfriend Nina (not Tina) was obviously disappointed and mad that the loss of a 7-day room in a desirable area had been twice-booked. That happens. Some business owners would respond differently. I will not use the same language referring to you. You are probably a nice guy often. It was a mistake that due to high occupancy did threaten our trip. And the experience we had deserves the negative review. You have many positive reviews. Maybe your enterprise and booking protocol will improve, or others potentially looking to stay there, will benefit from hearing about it.

A perfect oasis for your vacation! Owners are super friendly and helpful. The place is beyond amazing. We stayed in the treehouse and loved it! The sheets and towels were super soft. The outdoor kitchen, dining area and shower were super cool. We were definitely sad to leave. The location is less than a 10 minutes walk to restaurants, shops and various stores. We will for sure come back!

Not knowing much about Maui, we booked our 5 day stay in Wailea at the Marriott resort. It's a very nice hotel, but it's just not our speed. On our day trip to the Road to Hana we drove through Pa'ia and stopped for coffee. It's felt so much more our speed so we looked for a room on short notice. Dave answered the phone when we called, and we lucked out... someone had left a little early and he had a room available for our remaining two nights. We packed up and drove to Paia. The room was newly remodeled and very nice with AC. The property itself is very cozy, well maintained and visually beautiful. There are plants and greenery everywhere, and Dave's sweet pup Chia greeted us with a sleepy sweetness when we arrived, followed shortly by Coco and Lucky. Dave was a great host. He was prompt and friendly and got us to the room after a quick tour of the grounds. There is a communal kitchen, laundry space, and a hot tub that was piping hot all day and night. There is a big bin with beach chairs, snorkels, fins, umbrellas, boogie boards and coolers that are for communal use, which we made good use of. There are plenty of beach towels that were clean and smelled nice. We made our morning coffee and enjoyed the wonderful restaurants for our meals. The town itself is amazing and it was exactly what we needed to end our trip to Maui.

Outstanding! My husband and I visited Maui for our 1 year anniversary. We were looking through airbnb for a unique type of place and we knew we wanted to stay in Paia. We aren't super into resorts or touristy places, and we could not have picked a more perfect spot. The Mangolani Inn was everything we could have wanted, and more. Dave gave us insightful tips on where to go and what to do. The property is incredibly well kept and he even provides beach chairs, towels, snorkeling equipment, surf boards, etc. Almost anything you could need is available to you. We stayed in the treehouse and LOVED it. It was exactly what we were looking for. The treehouse also has access to an outdoor shower and fully equipped kitchen (where we cooked at least 1 to 2 meals per day). Not to mention the hot tub which is always hot and ready to be used. We will definitely be back, and hopefully bring our family next time. THANKS, again to Dave for a wonderful experience!

My wife and I where lucky to stay 9 amazing days here in Daves little Paradise. The location speaks for itself but on top of the obvious reasons I can mention a few of our unexpected benefits from staying at The Mangolani Inn. Surfboards in various sizes, snorkeling equipment, quality kitchen eq. esqui boxes to bring to the beach, free fresh local fruit and a nice couple of dogs to hang out with. Besides that Dave is very nice and helpfull and theres a few delicious restaurants just down the street. I'm in love with this place and would come back any time I need a place to surf and relax. Thank you Dave!

Best stay ever. Can't wait to come back. Really helped make my stay in Hawaii absolutely perfect.

This place is great! We booked the entire inn for our wedding week to house all our of wedding party and couldn't be happier. The house gave us a private space to celebrate with our friends for the week and provided ample space for every couple to sleep. It's clean, accommodating, and has everything you might need (kitchen supplies, a washer/dryer, surf boards, even pets on the property). The only note - there is no air conditioning in the studios or the bedrooms - just the main living space. Not usually a big deal, but this August was a bit warm. The place is close to the beach and the town of Paia - definitely walkable if you are looking for somewhere without a car. It's also gated, so has a bit more privacy. Dave was great to work with, quick to reply and always responsive. I highly recommend this place.

We chose to stay at the Mangolani Inn in Paia, HI for the first leg of our honeymoon and it was the best decision we ever made!! After deciding to switch our trip around from Oahu to Maui, we decided we really wanted the local feel and Paia is the place, Dave and his wife Nyla the owners of Mangolani have such good vibes and are so helpful! Always available to tell you the best local spots to eat/ hike/ beach, even set us up with a friend for surfing lessons !! We stayed in the tree house in Mangolani and if your looking to completely disconnect and really feel like your in the heart of Hawaii, this is the way to do it. It was the perfect little paradise, we cannot wait to make a return visit! Mahalo Dave and Nyla! - Jackie and Pasquale

What a great place! Clean, convenient, and cozy. We called last minute and Dave hooked us up with the tree house for the night, as well as provided a few tips, and great conversation!

Enjoyed a very lovely stay at mangolani. Hosts are accommodating, attentive, and friendly. Mangolani is a clean, inviting and generous tropical sanctuary in the heart of Paia. Great location and a great all-around place to be able to stay. Loved doing laundry, and walking to town and right next door to the marketplace.

Stayed in the mango treehouse for a few nights back in December. Seriously well maintained. Ocean view for a great value. Dave takes such great care of the place and it was such a great experience. Shower outside was the only downfall but for the value truly great!!! A bit off the beaten path but a real quick walk into town. Overall would highly recommend!

I'm a big fan of Paia and was really excited to have found this place on Air BnB -- it's a very short walk to the center of Paia with its great shops and restaurants as well as beautiful Baldwin Beach, a mellow beach that isn't overrun with tourists. My boyfriend and I stayed in the treehouse which has an amazing ocean view and was very cozy. There is a little outdoor kitchen with all the basics we needed to cook some simple, delicious meals with local ingredients (yum) and we actually LOVED the outdoor shower (there was plenty of privacy). The owner Dave and Clint, the property manager that was there, were both super friendly and helpful -- we were especially grateful for all the snorkeling equipment on site for use.

Mangolani Inn truly is a special place, with it's own magical vibe and character. You feel it as soon as you enter the property. Super close to the center town of Paia, but far enough away and enclosed in it's own tropical scenery you feel it's a destination on it's own! My wife and I loved that we could walk from the Inn to Paia town and the nearby beaches. Also loved having our favorite food store Mana's down the street to pick up some items and head back to the inn to cook. Even though we stayed in the unit that had our own fully stocked and LARGE kitchen .. we loved hanging out in the outdoor common area with kitchen.. and mingling with some of the other guests. Dave, the owner, truly creates a chill, laid back yet welcoming vibe and him and his staff were always around and super helpful if needed anything. Super clean and beautifully decorated rooms, well taken care of grounds, quite, and our favorite part was the hot tub on property to relax after an adventurous day on Maui! Oh! And they have their own super nice laundry machines on site you can use.. definitely a perk! Can't say enough good things about this place.. book it now!

We LOVED this sweet little inn. Only bummer was we couldn't stay longer. Perfect location in Paia and inn was beautiful and serene. We stayed in the treehouse room which was a great space for myself, my husband and 5 year old. Very family friendly. Dave is a great host. Wish we had found this place earlier so we could have stayed longer.

What a unique place! Very inviting and Dave met us with a welcoming vibe. The room is colorful and SO beachy not to mention extremely clean (even for a germaphobe)! Will definitely be coming back and recommending to my family and friends.

Beautiful rooms and setting. Such a friendly family greets you at the inn. We visited the inn while we were staying on Maui - they are going through a complete remodel and the finished rooms are AMAZING. Very convenient to town - recommend the Mango treehouse room - very cool view of the scenery and ocean. Would definitely recommend staying here!

I cannot say enough good things about my stay here. My husband and I were here just over a week and couldn't have chosen a better place! Dave the owner is awesome, he's put in a ton of work to the place and it really shows. He's always available for questions and is super chill. You couldn't ask for a better location either, a 10 minute walk to downtown Paia which is the coolest town. I would stay here again in a heart beat and recommend staying here 100%- you won't be disappointed!

A friend and I stayed on Maui for 8 days exploring all the island has to offer. Each night returning to the peace and serenity of Mangolani Inn was without parallel . This little piece of paradise is located in a sleepy little surf town of Paia. Coffee shops, Paia fish market, the beach and Mana foods are all within walking distance. Dave and his dog Lucky were the best host and very knowledgable of the area. Book your stay today and thank me later. There should be a 6 star rating for this one. Aloha, Hunter

Beautiful grounds and excellent location! If you are looking for a truly genuine taste of island life, stay here! Dave, the owner, is an excellent host and knows the area very well. We stayed in the studio, and it was perfect- kitchen, spacious, very bright, with lots of great artwork. It's walking distance to Paia- fun town center with lots of great shopping boutiques and food. My favorite places nearby: *Wings- unique island made clothing boutique *Mana Foods- organic grocery store *Flatbreads- organic restaurant with gluten free options

We loved our stay at Mangolani's. It is affordable and comfortable. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming. It is a short walk to the center of Pai'a. There is laundry on site which we put to use. Our unit had a full kitchen stocked with all the utensils, etc. that we could ever hope to need. We were so grateful to have found such a wonderful place to stay.

I was lucky enough to have spent a month at this little piece of heaven. I intend to go back for several more stays here. You could not ask for a more wonderful host to make you feel welcome and yet plenty of privacy. The surroundings are just beautiful. I will be back to Mangolani Inn!! Jan Roberts

Out of my 20 years of traveling the world, Dave is the worst landlord I have ever encountered. My girlfriend and I spend lots of our money to go visit Maui for 5 days and we pay a high rate to stay at Dave's place. One day before arriving to the Inn, Dave says he will be available thru text or phone prior to arriving. He tells me check in is at 2:00PM. We arrive to his inn at check in and there is nobody to receive us. We wait for approximately 30 min until I send a message to Dave that I'm displeased there is nobody to check us in. He decides to call me and tells me he is cancelling our stay because I hurt his feelings and since, he is on vacation, he shouldn't be trouble by this. He also said 'I never told you the room would be ready by check in.' That's what check in means! A proper inn manager would ensure his visitors are taken care of. It ruined the vacation we planned because there weren't many other places open on a busy weekend. Please heed my words, DONT STAY HERE. He is a slum lord and your money can go much farther somewhere else.

We had a very negative experience here and do not recommend it to anyone, particularly those with children. The place was nice enough but our security deposit was not returned. They made up bogus complains about how the place was left. We feel we were scammed.

We've stayed at Mangolani twice, both for two weeks at a time and I honestly can't say enough good things about Dave and Nyla and their beautiful home! This house embodies true aloha spirit and what the north shore of Maui should be. If you're looking for a resort feel with fake water falls and chlorinated pools, look elsewhere. Dave and Nyla have created a special place here. They make you feel like you're part of the family and go out of their way to make you comfortable. The ease of walking to downtown Paia is almost laughable; about seven minutes! And Baldwin Beach is another half mile away, which in my opinion is the best on Maui. I've been to Maui eight times and this place is hands down the best place I've stayed. I will be a repeat customer for as long as Dave will have me!

I highly recommend staying at Mangolani Bed & Breakfast if you're looking for a comfortable, modern, relaxing place to stay. I loved staying in the tree house suite with my husband for our 7 day honeymoon. Dave and Nyla really go out of their way to make their guests feel comfortable. The tree house suite has a cute, private outdoor shower and an outdoor kitchen area with a full refrigerator, stove, sink, ect. Inside the suite has it's own bathroom & lav, queen bed, couch, and a desk to sit at with plenty of windows to enjoy the natural light. Dave has a beautiful property, with a Jacuzzi, mango trees, and two sweet and quiet dogs. He also offers bikes, boogie boards, a surf board, and beach towels to use. I love the little, cultural town of Paia, as I'm not a fan of staying in a big resort in the middle of the tourist and commercialized parts of Maui. The tree house does not have a TV, but there are several other studios or rooms that do have TV, just ask. Dave and Nyla are great people, and I can't wait to go back again!
