I used to live in Hawaii and was going back to Hawaii 5-0 for my 50th Birthday, specifically Maui, World Whale Day Celebrations and "Whaletines Day". Maui has been a special place since I was a child and we were last on Keawakapu beach when I was 7 months pregnant with my son watching the Mama Humpbacks. I was so excited to find a home in the Hale Hui Kai and #201 was PERFECT! Our family of 3 in the "Home of the Family by the Sea" loved every moment in this space. The photos reflect the remodel perfectly. It is beautifully done and the unit has EVERYTHING I didn't want to leave during our stay... just be on the sand and in the sea, snorkeling, watching the Humpbacks off shore, walking the beach, watching the lighting of the Tiki Torches and the blowing of the Conch at sunset (just to the north), so we cooked every meal in and even my husband and young Vegan son commented on how well stocked the kitchen was. My son used the boogie board every day, and having the beach chairs, towels, coolers is fantastic. (There was snorkel gear too, but we brought our own). There is even a Bluetooth speaker that I streamed Pandora Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar through as we cooked dinner. The location is PERFECT! Being able to run back and forth from the beach and back, to morning coffee, whale watching in the lounge chairs and back, to the pool when the surf was high, to a glass of wine at dusk in the common space by the pool, to heading out at dark to look at the moon and Venus high in the sky, walk south down the beach to connect with the Wailea Beach Path, or north to the little harbor where smaller boats head to whale watch or snorkel Molokini Crater, or snorkel directly off the reef that borders Keawakapu beach... again, just perfect. Even thought this "Garden" unit is a little "darker", it is beautiful to be on the deck looking at all the green and hearing the water fountain with Kwan Yin and Buddha peaceful vibes. The deck and kitchen/dining windows bring in great tradewinds and none of the windows face anyone else, so it feels very private. LOVE this place and cannot wait to come back! Mahalo nui loa!
