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 42 units at the Pohailani Maui Complex located at 4435 L. Honoapiilani Road, Lahaina, HI, 96761. 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 42 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 Garden Isle. You won't regret it. |
