Six years ago I fell in love with Hawaii. Now my dream of having a home there is a reality. Since my husband and I don't plan to live there year round, we can share our beautiful home with you. Our home, (#152), is one of only 114 units at the Pohailani Maui Complex located at 4435 L. Honoapiilani Road, Lahaina, HI, 96761. The condos in the complex are set up in twos, a ground floor unit and an upstairs unit. The units are arranged in a graceful oval surrounding a large garden area with two swimming pools, palms, other tropical trees and exotic flowers. A barbecue grill is right outside the sliding glass doors of our living room. There is a sense of peace and privacy that is not there in the large resorts.
When you arrive from the Kahului airport, you will have everything you need for a luxurious, restful and eco-friendly stay - a comfortable couch, chairs and beds, every possible kitchen appliance and utensil, soft, fluffy, organic cloth towels and linens, cable HDTV, a CD/DVD player and high speed internet access. If you want to get away from technology, you can just sit on the lana'i (Hawaiian for patio/porch) and enjoy the lush tropical scenery, walk over to one of the two swimming pools or the tennis court, or better yet, walk across the road and behold breathtaking Kahana beach. In the back yard you can pick a mango while you grill your dinner. In the condo, you will find beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, a cooler, tennis racquets and balls,nand sand toys. If you're not used to the sun, or even if you are, please remember to use plenty of sun screen!
A three ring binder on the coffee table is filled with brochures of local restaurants, shops and all the fabulous attractions of Maui. You will certainly want to sample the exquisite cuisine of Maui's restaurants, but when you want to stay home and relax, you can find a grocery store near, fix your own meal and eat at the kitchen bar or on the lana'i surrounded by palms and flowering trees. Do you have kids that always finish eating before you're ready to leave the table? Just get out the toys stored in the outdoor closet. The kids can play on the flat area just next to your lana'i. When you're ready to call it a day, fill the jacuzzi tub and soak away all the stress you brought with you from the mainland. You're in Paradise!
Would you rather have one of 382, more or less, almost identical condos, maybe on the 8th floor at the end of the hall or would you rather have one of 114 free standing units shared with only one other condo (above you) surrounded by, not other rooms, but lush gardens you can step into from your lana'i. If you would prefer the latter, you are lucky because this type is actually less expensive to rent than a "one among 382, 8th floor" type. I don't know why, but the large hotel type condo complexes are more expensive to rent and to buy which is why we bought this one. Many of your neighbors will be Hawaii residents and you won't be one among hundreds of tourists. Of course if you want to be among the tourists, you can pay a lot more and be part of the crowd. I hope you choose to share our home on Maui, the Valley Isle. You won't regret it.

Why the Owner Chose Kahana
We looked at many areas on Maui before choosing this condo at Pohailani Maui in Kahana. We chose it because it is near Lahaina, the most popular town for visitors to Maui and because it was the nicest, most well appointed and well kept-up condo of the many that we looked at. We also liked the fact that it is in a complex that is at least half owner occupied - really nice people. It was less expensive to buy than the condos in the condo high rises so we are able to charge less to rent it. The beach across the road is wonderful and it is a very short drive to Fleming Beach, named #1 beach in the US in 2006 and to the beach at the Kaanapali resorts which also has world class golf courses and Whaler's Village, a tempting shopping destination. A great restaurant, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, and a cute coffee shop, Hawaiian Coffee Company are a short walk from the condo. There are two dive shops and a sports center with a gym, massage center and yoga classes also a short walk away. If you want to plan a gathering, such as a wedding reception, our newly redecorated recreation room can be rented for a reasonable amount.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Our condo was furnished and decorated with the environment and the comfort of our guests in mind. We encourage energy saving by using fans and cross ventilation - although there is air conditioning in the bedrooms for those occasional sultry tropical nights. We recycle aluminum, glass and plastic. We have a water filter on the kitchen sink and a chlorine filter on the shower. Our sheets are organic cotton and our bathroom towels are made of bamboo fiber which is wonderfully soft and, by its nature, resistant to bacteria and mold growth. Our shower curtain is natural fiber, to avoid the off-gassing of toxic materials contained in vinyl shower curtains. Our Home Owners Association is considering the installation of solar panels for hot water heating and, perhaps, generation of electricity. We look forward to that.
Beautiful cinnamon sand beach. Almost always calm due to a coral reef off shore. Enter through the Royal Kahana Hotel. There are no private beaches in Hawaii but sometimes the resorts get the best
This is our condo complex. Our condo is on the other side of the road from the beach.
there is a gas station here if you should need it. There is also a McDonald's (hope you don't need that). Roy's Hawaiian Fusion, (very upscale restaurant), Hawaiian Coffee Shop (good croissant sandw
Napili market for groceries - lots of shops including a craft shop and a flower shop - both interesting and pretty.
Owner's Map of Kahana
My husband, Ricardo, and I are retired teachers living in California. When our son moved to Maui it gave us a good reason to plan a vacation in Hawaii. I fell in love with Maui and, in 2007, we bought a condo in Kahana. We love spending time there and we love sharing it with our guests. California weather is nice but there is something magical about Maui.
