  Bayhouse Hana is situated at the far Eastern end of Hana Bay. Four large windows look out at the idyllic scene. The property is super clean inside and out. Decor is simple and understated which actually enhances the natural beauty of the setting. Bill and Anita exude Aloha and are a quick phone call away should you need anything. One thing worth mentioning, is that if you are the kind of traveller who expects luxurious pampering then you may be happiest at a hotel. Beds are very clean and plenty comfy however any princesses out there may be unhappy with the firmness of the beds: the humid environment (tropical rainforest) may not be conducive to memory foam. If this is you, stay at a swanky place with a dehumidifier. I happily rate Bayhouse Hana 5/5 based on overall friendliness of the owners, its impeccable cleanliness, the view, closeness to the store and services (walking distance), spaciousness inside, and overall ease of just being there.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

  Owner response: We are grateful that our guests appreciate our effort to provide a non-pretentious environment for their stay in Hana without sacrificing comfort.

  This home is literally right by Hana Bay, and the beach is a 2 minute walk away. It's clean, quiet, includes all kitchen amenities, and super convenient location wise (everything in town is a short walk away). Bill is nice and helpful when we had questions. Make sure to ask him about how to get to the red beach! It's beautiful and only a 5 - 10 minute walk away.

  Owner response: We are happy that our guests enjoyed their stay with us. It truly helps to make the experience one to remember when guests do a little bit or research on their destination beforehand. That way, they are not surprised by or disappointed with their choice of places to visit.

  After a week in Napili, my husband and I spent three nights at Bayhouse Hana. The house, rustic but cozy and clean, had everything we needed for our stay. We cooked in for most of our meals, enjoyed the down time and especially the sound of the surf right outside the windows. We hiked to the falls and swam in the pools as well as seeing the other sights nearby. It was a nice break from the busy west side of the island.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers.

  Owner response: We are very happy that our guests find peace and relaxation when they come to stay at our place. Even though we are located centrally in Hana, we provide a degree of privacy from the day to day traffic while still offering walking distances to the stores and recreational areas of the community.

  The view is stunning, the ocean is right at your window! However it was difficult for my husband and i to get a good nights sleep. The mattress takes ultra firm to a new level! Seriously, i went on a road trip around America and slept in the back of a Kia that was more comfortable. The furnishings while clean and in good condition are reminiscent of a college students mismatched haul from the local salvation army. Rustic if an excellent description of the place. It looks like someone spent a couple of weekends converting a porch into a condo with habitable results.

  Owner response: It seems strange that a newly wed couple found our bed so difficult to sleep on when we have had no complaints from any of our previous guests since we opened; some with physical difficulties as well. Perhaps our young couple should do their traveling on a Kia so they can have their comfort wherever they travel. Or was this a convenient way to leave early because of the weather? And ask for a refund.

  If you've decided to stay in Hana, rather than make it a pit stop on a day trip from another part of the island, then there are a few things you should understand. Hana is "old Hawaii," what it was like years before noisy tourists came demanding to be entertained with silly luau's and high-rise hotels filled with mini bars. The pace is slow, the natural beauty is stunning, and there are many places to see, but if you really want to get off the grid, this is the place. If not, don't stay in Hana, and try and find your aloha somewhere else. Bayhouse Hana is one many accommodations that you'll find on Uakea Rd. My wife and I stayed at Tuttu's House, just one house up the road, for a few nights and were delighted when we entered the property. It's run by husband and wife Bill and Anita, who keep the unit clean and modern. All of the appliances worked, the view from the living room is fabulous, and there's a place to sit outside to enjoy a meal or BBQ. There's an upstairs unit that is under renovation, and occupied by a quiet local tenant. Just a few other tips before I end the review... Getting to and departing Hana. There's always been two roads in and out of Hana, but the less windy road is now better paved. Unfortunately, the mini tour buses that flock to Hana daily, use this road to leave town. The road is very narrow in parts, and the tour buses don't always share it or follow driving rules. They're in a hurry to get a bus load of cranky tourists back to their resorts, giving info over their headsets, and not paying attention to oncoming traffic.The good news is that only happens during the first ten miles out of Hana, or until the road straightens out, but that can be a very stressful hour if you don't plan it right. Leave Hana in this direction early (before 9) or in the late afternoon.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

  Owner response: We are very happy that our guests enjoyed their stay with us and found it peaceful and relaxing. They have certainly deduced the favorable times to travel "the road" when the tour buses are not obstacles on the course. We residents always travel contra to the prevailing flow of visitors to our end of the island, even if it means leaving earlier than need be in the morning or returning later in the afternoon,

  When we drove by the place, my husband and I were somewhat worried. As soon as we walked into the place, the veiw took away all my doubts. You can't get any closer to the ocean. This place made me feel like one of the locals. Somewhat rustic but extremely well kept and clean. The only complaint would be the bed. I wished is was a little bigger with more pillows, but how can you complain with a veiw like that.

  Bill was very friendly....house was clean and accurate to the description. Wish that there were wine glasses to use not just champagne glasses (unless I somehow missed them then I am sorry).

  Owner response: We are happy that our guests enjoyed their stay with us. We will make it a point to add some wine glasses. In the mean time, guests are welcome to use the champagne glasses for their wine, or bring along disposable wine glasses for their needs.

  the house sits on the edge of property facing the bay, which is great. the house itself has been under construction for some time and has a long way to go. If you want a really nice spot for a really fair price then this works, but if your looking for a place that looks good from the outside than this is not it. The manager meets you at the door when you arrive and then leaves you alone to enjoy your stay. We did enjoy hana and had a good time. There is no TV which bothered my husband alot, but rest of us enjoyed games.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

  Owner response: We always request that our inquiring prospective guests read the complete account of our accommodations when making a reservation. We do not include television in our rental and we do not plan on adding television in the future. We do provide games and a CD player for our guests' indoor entertainment. Our guests who come knowing what we offer seem totally happy with their stay at Bayhouse Hana.

  Our trip to Heavenly Hana was exactly what we dreamed of and needed. We planned it so that we arrived on Maui, did some provisioning, and drove straight to Hana, arrivng before sundown.Perfect. Upon booking our stay at Bayhouse, the Changs sent all the information we needed to find the cottage, and feel comfortable there. Bill met us there, showed us around, and then left us to our privacy. Again, perfect! The Bayhouse is aptly named; it is right on Hana Bay, with the sounds of crashing waves a constant backdrop to your time there. It is a sweet summer cottage,simple, rustic, but with everything you need to be comfortable. The listing photos accurately show the cottage interior, and the spectacular views of the surrounding bay. It was very clean and all listed amenities were provided. Wireless Internet is included, which is good, because cell coverage is spotty at best! We spent 3 days, exploring Hana and the surrounding countryside, and it was a good amount of time to give oneself. The Seven Sacred Pools were open, full, and the water was warm. Sadly, you can no longer go to Blue Pool, as the access is through private property, and too many visitors abused the privilege. We bought fresh ahi from a local fisherman, and bbq'd it. Delicious! Dinner out at the Hana Ranch Restaurant was excellent, and the ambience was lovely; an outdoor patio, with the trees filled with twinkling lights. If you are lucky enough to be there when Bruddah's BBQ is open, be sure to stop and eat - great pork. Needless to say, we will return, again and again. Hana will forever be on my bucket list!
