Old Lahaina House

Lahaina


Set around a small pool in a compact garden, the four comfortable rooms in this two-story modern house have amenities including fridges, coffee pots, and access to an outdoor kitchen with grill. Bed choices include two twins, or a queen or king. The center of town is under a 10-minute walk away, and it's an easy walk to a small and low-key beach.

As the gregarious owner advises, travelers who enjoy the sprawl and anonymity of a resort may be happier elsewhere, but if you want local rec's and enjoy talking story, consider a stay.
