Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

There are a myriad of reasons people prefer to plan their vacation in Hawaii. Some love to travel to the islands for the weather.

Others head across the ocean for Hawaii’s beautiful beaches. Many simply love the idea of being somewhere surrounded by thousands of miles of beautiful sea.

Here are 10 reasons why a vacation in Hawaii might be the best decision you make this year.

1. Thrilling Sites and Scenic Beauty.
Hawaii is teeming with marvelous flora and fauna. Plan your vacation in Hawaii and you will never run out of beautiful things to see.

2. Amazing weather.
Hawaiian weather is consistent the whole year through. Highs range from the mid 80’s, while the lows rarely dip below the lower 70’s. Even with scattered showers, the weather is almost always comfortable.

3. The “Aloha” Spirit.
There are few friendlier places on the planet than Hawaii. The populace is always ready to make you feel right at home, even if it’s your first time setting foot on an island.

4.Best. Beaches.
Ever. Every year, travel magazines across the world ask their readers to site their favorite beaches. Hawaiian beaches always win, hands down. A vacation in Hawaii means you’ll be beaching at a winner.

5. A smattering of islands.
Travelers adore a vacation in Hawaii because it isn’t an island alone. It is one of a group of 8 islands, all in close proximity.

6. Water sports.
Hawaii has every type of water sport imaginable. Kayaking, big game fishing, whale watching, boogie boarding, and of course, world famous surfing on Hawaii’s north shore. A vacation in Hawaii can include any water sport imaginable.

7. Engaging Entertainment.
Hawaii is world famous for eclectic cuisine. The big island is peppered with restaurants, making it easy to find anything you could want to please your palette.

8. Rest & Relaxation.
Is there a better reason to vacation in Hawaii than a little rest and relaxation? The atmosphere on the islands makes it an ideal spot to sit, unwind, and let each of your cares slowly drift away.

9. Culture.
Hawaii was the final state to join the union, but the culture in the middle of the Pacific is almost an antique. Native dances and traditions coalesce with magical music to make you think you didn’t just plan a vacation in Hawaii, you traveled back in time.

10. Variety.
Budget or luxury, Hawaii has it all. Honeymoon or family vacation in Hawaii, the time is yours to plan.

Experience the wonder of a vacation in Hawaii and discover the ways that Hawaii can nurture your body, mind, and soul.

Don't be fooled by 'peek-a-bo' views... be directly on the water with us

Maui has been rated the Best Island in the World for over a dozen years now, this once little known slice of Paradise is attracting new visitors every year- giving it its longevity as a ‘Perfect Vacation Spot’. But ‘Where do I stay?’ you may be asking yourself…

I have a gem to tell you about, an amazing oceanfront condo nested right above the waves on the sleepier North side of Ka’anapali beach, voted #1 Beach in America a few years back. Maui Kai 301 is a spectacular oceanfront and beachfront location. It has location, location, location… but it also has luxury… drench your senses amidst views so close to the water, you may sometimes think you were on a cruise ship! But the ammenities… sapphire granite countertops throughout, top quality king size ‘Sleep Number’ bed adjusts firmness individually per side, custom made shower spacious enough for two :)  with special accents of turtle inlays and river rock from Bali, gorgeous fine art giclee prints throughout and everything you need for a great vacation- including a well stocked kitchen with things you hate to buy on vacation like saran wrap, paper towels and spices… but we also provide FUN for a day at the beach! Including provided boogie boards, snorkel equipment, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler and even blue ice to keep your things cold without the mess!

Are you a ‘first timer’?  The question you are likely wondering is ’Where t0 stay?’ Each area of Maui is very distinct and tends to attract its ‘own kind’ of visitor. The North Shore attracts the surfing crowd, due to the famous Ho’okipa Beach, known as the best windsurfing spot in the world. The East Side of Hana attracts the more adventurous- those whom wish to explore the huge tropical rainforest and aren’t disappointed with a daily rainshower or two. Upcountry is known for its paniolo or cowboy heritage, and the South side is known for its residential feel… but ahhh, the West Side.

The West Side is made for the vacationer! This exciting location has world class restaurants, a rich history, and holds the title of one of America’s sunniest towns with over 350 days of sun a year… but truly, what makes the West Side so great, is it is the home of one of  Maui’s most famous beaches- ahhh…  Ka’anapali! In days of old, this three miles of white sandy beach was the vacation playground of the Royal class, the ali’i. This lengthy crown of dusty white sand nestles crystal turquoise waters that are ideal for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing. One of Hawaii’s best snorkel spots is located right here at Black Rock, a large outcropping of cooled lava splits this 3 mile beach about in half. South Ka’anapali Beach is a manicured golf course and resort complex with big name hotels such as the Marriot and the Sherton. It boasts the famous Whaler’s Village shopping center with its outdoor shopping and beachfront dining. The North side of Ka’anapali Beach is the more ‘sleepy side’ with many individually owned condo resorts offering great oceanfront and beachfront locations without the hustle and bustle of the bigger name resorts.

So if you are thinking about where to stay in Maui, think Oceanfront, think Beachfront, think West Side… Think  Maui Kai 301! See this gorgeous unit in full 360 virtual tours so you can see for yourself, how incredible the location and ammenties are in this gem of a Maui vacation rental.
