to find the perfect Maui vacation.
Maui Vista 1125 - Convenient location, quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed snorkeling and our day trip to Oahu to swim with the dolphins. The best restaurant was Mamas Fishhouse or Tiffany's in Wailuku. The best picture was my mom wiping out on the boogie board. I can't wait to tell my friends EVERYTHING! My advice to someone else would be...stay longer! I would definitely recommend the submarine ride aboard the Atantis in Laihina. Best insider tip was Tiffany's restaurant in Wailuku. Next time we're going snorkeling at a secret spot we discovered...I'm not telling where. We loved our stay at Maui Vista! Thank you for everything!!! We'll be back!!!
Menehune Shores 320 - Aloha
We all had a great time in Hawaii. The appartment was great. The best was the big balcony overlooking the ocean. We sat there every night after Dinner for a couple of drinks.
I wish though that the beach at the complex was a little nicer. They cleaned up the beach every morning but the water is not clear and not very inviting. But it is a very small negative as there are so many beautiful beaches in Maui.
My friend got married and I have to say it was the most beautiful wedding I ever attended. 8 am in the morning, the beach all to ourself and the most beautiful surroundings you can wish for a wedding. If I ever ......
The best Restaurant we found was in the Wailea Beach resort at Wailea. It was called Humpalumpasomething. A long name it is. Can't remember. It is built like a classy Tikki Bar on top of a saltwater pool right next to the ocean. It has a waterfall and a couple of aquariums. And the fresh fish is niiiiiiiiiiiice.
Take the time to drive around the island. Don't just hang around where you stay. The north shore and the road to Hana are amazing. A must do. And of course the Haleakala in the morning. DO IT.
The best insider tip I got is about gorcery shopping. Go to Safeway and ask for their membership card. You safe about 1/3 on your shopping. This will leave you with more money to go diving and do all the fun stuff.
Thanks to everyone at Hawaiian Beach rental. They answered all my questions and were very helpful. They rock.
Mahalo plenty and I hope I will be in Maui again soon.

Lahaina Roads 301 - While this unit looks kind of old from the road - the inside of our unit (#301) was very nice. Lots of upgrades etc. The very best part was the view!!! It was so wonderful. The gentlemen that takes care of these properties really keeps things looking nice. He works very hard and it shows!! We had a problem with the DVD player and the rental agents took care of the problem immediately.
I cannot speak to the condition of the other units as I believe they are all privately owned - I just know that 301 is one that we want to come back to again and again.
We will definately use Hawaiian Beach rentals again.
Hale Lele Villa - We loved the pool area and being so close to the beach. We also appreciated a dining room that seated 12. That's exactly how many people we had and it was great having everyone around the table! Scarlett was very helpful as well. There were lots of supplies and the "welcome" goodie basket was great. We miss the pineapples in the morning!
The customer service was great.
The best part of the trip was having all of our immediate family together for a week in such a beautiful home.
The best restaurant we found was the Waterfront Restaurant in Maalea. It is tucked away in a condo and we really
found the food and the setting wonderful. We also went with the whole family to the Old Lahaina Luau - although we have been a couple of times before it is always worth visiting again. The best picture we have is all of us at the Luau.
My advice to someone staying at this unit would be that although the house is lovely there is no direct access to the pool from the house unless it through a bedroom or the lower unit (or if you go outside and walk around).
The part of my (our) trip I would recommend is the bike ride down from the crater. We had some family members do this and they loved it! Be prepared - you have to be up and about at 2:00 a.m.! Also snorkeling off the beach by the house was great! Better than the snorkeling trip we paid for. The Pineapple Plantation was also fun. We learned how to open coconuts which was fascinating for the children - they came home and did a coconut opening for "sharing" at school.
I'm not sure we received any insider tips on this trip as we have been to the island a number of times but Scarlett was most helpful when our grandson needed a trip to the emergency room (nothing serious). We wouldn't have known where to go if not for her.
All in all, it was a wonderful time in a house that accomodated us all very nicely. A trip our family will always fondly remember.
Village By the Sea BF Condo OV - It was clean and had everything we needed. The only down side was the ripped up parking lot, but other than that, it was fine. I particularly liked eating all the meals on the patio and watching the ocean. Very relaxing! The whole complex was very quiet.
Monkey Business Maui- Kihei Bay Surf 135 - too much to say about my stay in hawaii, it was FANTASTIC!!! the accomadations were awesome, you guys really thought of a lot.. the only somewhat bad thing to say is that the drive up made me think what did i get myself into, but after walking through the door that all went away.. i would definitly reccomend this to any couple without kids or someone looking for a little adventure in maui...
Puamana 64-4 - Did not want to come back home!
I would have to say i was a bit nervious booking a vacation rental "sight-un seen" but have to say i was very pleased.
Location, location, location was all about this rental. People here where friendly and helpful, no suprises!
Maui is always the best part of the trip always something new to see or experience.
I recommended Puamana to many people that i know, most never even heard of it.
The weather couldn't have been better and the ocean breeze was always welcome in the afternoon, the quiteness
of the compound added to the relaxation part of the vacation, that's why i didn't want to come back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys/gals of puamana i will certainly consider staying there again!
Note:
I believe a security deposit was involved in the amount fo 500.00?
please check, this amount may be wrong, thanks Tim Mula
Napili Kai Hale - We loved the home, very comfortable - the stained glass is amazing. Loved the seal & turtles swimming in the inlet. Loved the sound of the waves. Great sleeping sounds!
We were disapointed it wasn't a swimming beach - guess we'll know what to ask next time.
Roy's is a GREAT restaurant, right around the corner & fabulous food.
If the waves are high, try DT Flemming beach w/boogie boards - what a blast!
Menehune Shores 320 - Unit 320 was so well equipped!! We had everything we needed. The view and access to the ocean was a special treat. I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Maui!
