We have been to Maui several times but always stayed at hotels. When we discovered this condo through friends, we thought it sounded good and we'd give it a try. We were blown away! The condo is beautifully decorated in island patterns with gorgeous tropical flower arrangements and island art, and has every amenity you could want...CD/iPod player, books, beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, cooler, full refrigerator with ice maker (cool!), all appliances, just everything you need. The grounds are very nice...a big lawn with lounge chairs, beautiful palm trees providing shade when you need it, and a pool. There's a book exchange in the lobby which was very nice. The sound of the waves is so soothing and we slept with the windows open and the ceiling fan on every night, so as not to miss any of it. The location is also perfect, easy walking distance to Lahaina, but also restaurants in the shopping area right next door. I just can't say enough about how perfect Lahaina Shores is, and particularly this condo. It's on the 4th floor so you have a gorgeous view of the ocean and the sunset from the very comfortable chairs on the lanai. We will go back in a heartbeat, and I just wish it were going to be sooner.
