ワイレアエカヒビレッジ20J

Most of the year we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Veronica is a practicing marriage and family therapist, Dan is retired from a Silicon Valley company.

Our first trip to Hawaii was more than three decades ago. Since then we have come back almost every year ultimately visiting all the Islands and gradually falling in love with Hawaii, in particular with Maui. We discovered Wailea, and its wonderful beaches in the early 1990's.. Initially we stayed in hotels, but soon realized that condominiums were much more comfortable for us. After renting several different units at Ekahi Village, we decided on 20J when it became available.

Our property is professionally managed by Destination Residences Hawai‘i, part of Destination Hotels. They offer the largest selection of vacation residences on the luxurious destination of Wailea and Makena along Maui’s southern coastline in the Hawaiian Islands.
Each vacation residence features spacious living and dining space, fully equipped kitchen, en-suite washer and dryer, and a private lanai.

We are always sorry to leave, but then we can look forward to the next time when we can come again to our second home. Ekahi made us feel as if we were in paradise, with its beautiful flowering trees, many different kinds of birds, spacious, open grounds, quiet, friendly atmosphere. We especially enjoy waking up in the morning to the chirping of birds, listening to the sound of waves in the quiet of the night, watching the geckos trying to catch insects on our kitchen window, and birds building their nests close by. Early in the morning we can see the ocean from our window, and decide if it is a great day for snorkeling, or perhaps better for boogie boarding, judging from the appearance of the waves. The beach pavilion and its surrounding area is comfortable and private, its swimming pool heated, although we confess, we prefer the ocean. Snorkeling right in front of our complex,on Keawakapu Beach, next to the rocks, is very good, and turtles often can be seen, together with lots of different kinds fish .Farther to the left, Ulua Beach is a very popular snorkeling spot. Our kitchen is next to the lanai facing the ocean, and we love eating our meals outside, enjoying the ocean breeze. For a quick swim on a busy day, there is a swimming pool just a few feet away from our building. It is surrounded by a 'quiet area', ideal for reading a good book. ( The children prefer the bigger pool by the beach ). To make it feel even more like home, there is a little herb garden right outside, to the left of our building, which comes in handy when we feel like cooking.

Destination Residences Hawai‘i is the only collection of vacation rentals in Wailea and Makena that offers enhanced hotel services starting with a centralized reception office, a Concierge Desk to assist guests with booking activities and a manager-on-duty 24 hours a day.
