Eva Villa Maui bed & breakfast — Hotel in Maui

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! The only way to describe the experience we had at Rick and Dale’s Eva Villa BnB! We stayed in the private cottage from Apri 23rd to May 2nd, a total 9 nights and loved every moment! We were in Maui for our wedding and then honeymoon and Rick & Dale made sure that we were enjoyed our entire stay! First let me say, we are in our mid to late twenties' and this is wonderful place is for all ages, especially if you are looking for a more romantic/private feel away from the touristy resort area (though Eva Villa is only 5 mins. from some of Maui's best beaches). Eva Villa was our tropical oasis!

When we first arrived we were greeted with Rick's warm welcoming smile! He has a way of making you feel like family. He introduced himself, showed us around our cottage, then went over some local restaurants, things to do, pretty much helped us plan our entire trip! He also was so sweet and had champagne and a card waiting for us. My sister had called him and asked if he could buy these items as a wedding gift to us. He even wrote in the card for her. C'mon, who does that? Just so sweet! Let me also mention, even before we arrived Rick & Dale were so helpful through email. They told us where to find the cheapest rental car, explained that it would be best to buy tickets for our Luau ahead of time because they sell out, and answered all sorts of other questions we had.

What I loved most about our stay were the beautiful early mornings. You wake up to the birds singing right outside your window. So enchanting! We would fill the bird feeder and would watch the finches eat away. We had fresh fruit every morning, yummy bagels and muffins, and delicious coffee. This place really feels like home!

Rick & Dale do give you your privacy and ask you to contact them when you need more fruit, or breakfast items. We had made a joke about wanting a papaya because we had just finished the last one, and literally the next morning Rick went to the market and got us papaya! You can tell Rick & Dale have a lot of pride in Eva Villa and in what they do.

The day we were leaving we had to check out by 10am because there were guests coming in after us. We had about 4 hours to burn before we had to head to the airport and Rick & Dale let us come back and shower in one of their empty suites after spending the afternoon at the beach. How freaking nice? You don't find that type of hospitality just anywhere. I highly recommend this place to anyone. We hope to return for a future anniversary.

Things I loved: Beautiful neighborhood (great for running, awesome hills), close to beaches, close to great restaurants, fully equipped kitchen (we cooked dinners a few night and had everything we needed), affordable, Monkey Boy(the sweet cottage cat), Hot tub & Pool, outside shower, washer & dryer, beautiful grounds, Extremely clean, Plenty of soft towels, and Rick & Dale(Two of the sweetest people in all of Maui)!

Cons:...

My husband and I have stayed at Eva Villa many times and it has always been a great experience. Rick & Dale are warm, kind, caring people and are happy to share their Island experience with you. If you are a first-timer, they'll provide you with a long list of things to do, places to see, best beaches, best restaurants, etc. On more than one occasion, they have made us personalized CD's to listen to while we're driving around the island - a very nice touch I think! We most often stay in the Cottage, which is considered a vacation rental, and not part of the B&B. It has it's own deck with a barbecue, carport, washer & dryer, a decent sized, fully stocked kitchen, nice bedroom with a comfy bed, and a sofa bed in the living room. The bathroom has a shower and tub, and there is also an outdoor shower for when you come back from the beach. We have friends that stay in the Pool side Studio year after year, and it is very nice - large open space with a huge kitchen and dining area, and is very bright and sunny. (For large families or those travelling together, it connects with the Apartment which has two bedrooms.) Eva Villa is located up in Maui Meadows, which is away from the hustle and bustle of Kihei Road where the traffic can get pretty congested at times. It is located in a nice, upscale, quiet neighborhood that is great for early morning walks - we've found the folks that live in the area to be very friendly. It is a short drive to any one of several great beaches. We often just like to sit by the pool or enjoy the jacuzzi. If you visit Eva Villa and are in need of a massage, be sure to ask Rick for Eddie Palone's phone number - he sets up right in your suite, and gives a really, really great massage. If you are staying in the B & B, you are supplied with breakfast goodies - muffins, bread, fruit, coffee, etc., which they replenish as required. Rick and Dale go out of their way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. I highly recommend Eva Villa if you're visiting Maui. (And just for the record, Maui is our favourite Island destination, and we've...

My wife and I had a lovely time at the EVA bed-and-breakfast. We stayed in the larger of their two accommodations and found that it fully met our needs. The kitchen area was completely adequate, and there was a good variety of things like olive oil, spices, etc. that made it easy to have a home cooked dinner. There was a lanai off the Living Room, where we ate all our meals, some of which I cooked on a small gas grill out on the deck. Rick provided us birdseed to put into the birdfeeder right off the lanai and we enjoyed watching many kinds of birds come to it as we had our breakfast.||We did eat some meals out, but my point is it wasn’t necessary. We had what we needed right there.||All of this said, the piece de resistance of EVA is the pool! It is exactly as shown in the pictures, and we had exclusive access to it throughout our stay. We sometimes swam in it in the a.m., but we were more likely to go out to great nearby beaches, which were easily accessible with plenty of parking. Then at day’s end we would go to the pool and have our own little happy hour (plastic glasses) for more swimming and the hot tub. ||We loved the location, above the condos strips of downtown Kihei, and less than 10 minutes from Wailea, where everything is really nice.||In short, we had a great time. Rick was a fountain of good advice on the best sites, beaches, dining options, etc. and we both liked him and Dale.||We’ve been to Maui at least ten times, This is a great place that we hope to return to. In our experience, it’s also...
