Aloha!
Our stay here, was perfect! The Hanson’s listing was exactly as photographed, and exactly as described. We met so many nice people and even a few forever friends. 💕
The grounds of the condo are very pretty. The sunset at Maui sunset is perfect, as you watch the water take the light of the sun each evening.
The grass is so pretty and perfect, we thought it was astro turf, until we saw the groundskeepers mowing one morning.
The beach though a bit rocky, is a one minute walk from the condo. Those rocks do not matter one bit though, as the location seems central to many other beaches and anywhere you may want to explore on the island!
We did so many things in our time there, such as the road to Hana, in which we drove ourselves, Haleakalā (the volcano)where at the right angle, every photo you take will put you in the clouds or on what looks like the moon. We also made it to hidden beaches, like Punalai (one of my very favorites) along the Honoapiilani Highway. We took the ferry to Lanai with our new forever friends, (where we were treated so very kindly and also MUST return) and more.
Even though we did so much, we feel we must return to finish our quest. Though we liked the island of Oahu, and loved the island Kauai, we feel our time in Maui is not finished. I thought Kauai had my heart, but Maui stole it, and wants us to return, and so we will, and we hope the Hanson’s will host our stay once again. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Mahalo! 🌺
Tip: The food trucks on pi’Ikea Ave, were just as good, or better, and more economical , than any restaurant.
I especially loved Vidad’s. The short rib bowl on salad. (Excellent on rice too, but the salad was my fave.) And my husband loved the chicken curry at AbiKis.
Cheers to the L❤️VE of Maui!
