Dreams Come True on Maui Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Maui

Creepy and far from what’s advertised. Part 1 and 2 are about hosts (owners), part 3 about accommodations. |1. Tom, the owner is giving really creepy vibes when he hovers over you after you arrive and you try to get your bags out of the car. He just stands there staring at your behind, watching your behind as you struggle with your bags. |2. After you check in and unpack but step out for a day of adventures, Tom’s wife Denise goes into your room without your permission or prior knowledge. It’s inappropriate and creepy because all of your personal belongings are in the room she enters without permission, but then she does the unthinkable. When you set yourself a cooling AC before you leave and turn the night light on, so you don’t come back to a dark room, you end up coming back to a pitch black room and AC being turned OFF by Denise and switched to heat, and so you’re struggling to get to the room safely without any light, and suffering another sleepless night due to extreme heat in the room and the wall AC not cooling the room fast enough. It’s also unsettling when she leaves things out of place in your room that you left your personal belonging in, which is a further violation of trust.|3. The room was also a huge disappointment. Bathroom didn’t have the supplies needed for a shower like body wash. Also, the view from the room was supposed to be either an ocean or a tropical garden, but we got a fence, garbage cans, and bricks, instead. Then, the blinds covering the sliding entry door/window were broken so everyone can see you at night trying to change clothes or whatever else you do in your room. There was NO curtains despite the broken blinds so in order to have some privacy, we had to hang one of the blankets over the broken blinds and secure it with things we found in the room. The breakfast advertised on the listing if far from what’s actually being received as well. As previous posts stated, we also only received dried/old bagels and muffins but absolutely NO yogurt or fruit in sight. We were told by Tom the owner to go buy it ourselves at a store. If all of that wasn’t enough, the kitchenette and shower were outdoors, “half fenced in” for so called “privacy” but anyone can access it. Finally, there’s a CAMERA in the vent of the bathroom!!!|Overall, lesson learned. I’ll never make that mistake again to rent this place. I would rather spend extra money for a comfortable resort or hotel room than to rent this B&B. I’m sure Tom and Denise are kind people but there are far from being professional or knowledgeable about boundaries, comfort, or...

My wife and I just spent 9 nights at Dreams Come True. It was our first time in Hawaii and we couldn't have had a better living situation. We rented the cottage, so this review only addresses that facility (Dreams also has some "normal" B&B rooms on the property).||The cottage is a free standing home in front of the main home. It's perfectly outfitted with a lovely living room and bedroom and a fully outfitted kitchen (it even had a blender so we could try the Pina Colada recipe we were given by our tour guide at the Maui Pineapple Farm). The bathroom is also very nice and has a great rain forest shower.||The owners of the property, Tom and Carol, provide everything a guest could need. There is beach equipment including snorkels, fins, beach towels, chairs and an beach umbrella. There is also a washer and dryer that sits at the end of the carport for the cottage, but is available for all the guests to use.||The property is located about 1 1/4 miles from the closest beach and is an easy four minute drive (we never walked it since we were carrying beach equipment). The neighborhood is perfect and peaceful and the view from the deck where we had breakfast and some happy hours (if you live in the cottage you're responsible for your own breakfast, but we took advantage of the Safeway which is only about 8 minutes away) is spectacular. The Dreams website talks about having an ocean view from the deck--that's true, although you only see sliver of the ocean. But the view in the other direction is of the foothills of Haleakala, the 10,000 foot volcano on Maui and it's spectacular. ||The property is also only about five minutes from a shopping center with some excellent restaurants including Monekypods and a few more minutes to the posh Shops at Wailea shopping area. And close to there are the upscale Four Seasons and Fairmont Resorts.||My wife and I had drinks at the Fairmout and we agreed that as lovely as it was, we would still opt to stay at Dreams. It gave us a great base to explore the island and the price, especially for the quality of the property, is truly extraordinary given the typical costs of Maui...

We had stayed at DCT many years ago and had fond memories of the place and hosts. Our decision to return again after so many years was influenced by our previous stay and their website, which talks about creating a family atmosphere, points out the 1/2 acre landscaped property, the use of a lounge area to mingle with other guests, your hosts, etc and, if you click on the link to continental breakfast, features a photo of a lovely tray of cereal, fresh fruit, baking and a flower. We arrived to a very brief “here is your room” introduction, and did not have any subsequent personal interaction with our hosts except for a chance encounter in the driveway. We stayed for eight nights in a B&B room and breakfast consisted of grocery store style bread items and small tubs of jam, butter and cream cheese, refreshed with exactly the same items every three days. When we asked if it was possible to change to yogurt and/or fresh fruit, the hosts advised that this was all they could provide for the rate we paid for the room, being under $200 a night. Oh, and the guest room featured on their website has been closed since COVID. And the 1/2 acre estate is fenced, with a sign indicating it is private property and advising you not to touch the fruit trees. They’ve had three years to change their website to reflect the services and features of the property they are willing to provide to people who pay the stated rate at this stage of COVID, but have not bothered to do so. We feel the place and service was misrepresented on their website which forms the basis upon which travellers, certainly us, base...
