Doctor’s On Call In Maui, for Vacation Renters

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

We love staying at Nohonani Condos And Resort on Maui.  Its a great little resort and boasts one of the only beaches among the resorts in Kahana/Kaanapali.

Our last trip to Maui was dotted with medical experiences. My wife had some tooth problems, I got an ear infection, and my son scraped off some skin in a surfing/coral-dragging incident.

Upon the first of us falling ill we did a quick search and found Doctors On Call in Lahaina. They’re quick and pretty simple and you can almost always get in to see a doctor that day.

Be prepared :)

Big Beach on Maui

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

When staying with Aloha Condos on Maui make sure to take a day trip down to Big Beach. It’s a long stretch of beach down on the Southwest part of the island. Bring some beach chairs and sunscreen cause it’s hot down there. There is usually a snack truck there with cool drinks to keep yourself from parching.

It’s about an hour drive from our Lahaina, Kahana, Kaanapali, and Napili resorts: Maui Kai, Kaleialoha, Lahaina Roads, Nohonani, Napili Bay, and the Whaler.

Dolphin Show in Kaanapali

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

We spent two weeks in Kaanapali this past spring and got to see an amazing school of dolphins swim past our resort. They did flips and spins, it was really quite a show. You could have seen it from any of our Resorts in Lahaina, Kaanapail, or maybe even Napili. We were staying at Nohonani Condos and Resort.

Hawaiian Condos Save Island’s Economy

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

“Hawaii hotel occupancy hits new low.” This was just reported in the Pacific Business News. Statewide hotel occupancy fell to 61.9 percent. This is the lowest occupancy level recorded since 1987. The good news is people are flocking to condos! Why not? A larger space, a place to make your meals and often, a better or as good of a location. Take a look at Nohonani 204. Oceanfront, sleeps four, well decorated by professional designer, nice kitchen…all the comforts of home for as low as $125 a night! Really a steal!

Another five star accommodation is The Whaler 661. Located in Kaanapali on the beach, this recently updated condo complex is fantastic. Located next to Whaler’s Village, it offers shopping next door, restaurants, snorkeling trips to Molakini, a beachfront location at a LOW price. What could be better.? Why stay in a hotel when you can stay in a spacious condo at a much lower price.

Check them out!

Maui Vacation Rentals- Where to stay?

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.
