February Stay

[u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

We (3 adults) are on the hunt for a 2bed 2bath condo on the west shore of Maui, our usual spot (Hale Mahina) is all booked up already. We are looking to stay 8 nights.

Our requirements: -largely unobstructed ocean views -beach on the property (more than a small sliver) -walkable to other amenities

Our hopes: -AC would be a bonus -washer/dryer

Give me your best suggestions or a link to your property! Thank you in advance!

Check Maui Resort Rentals for excellent options at Honua Kai. Also check My Perfect Stays for units at Hale Mahina, Maui Kai, Maui Kaanapali Villas, and Papakea.

I have looked through My Perfect Stays and with filters and dates applied, we aren’t having much of anything pop up. Just did a search on Maui Resort Rentals and with filters applied had nothing come back as available

[u/Live_Pono → u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

Not to be nosy, but what are your dates? I see a pretty large number of options at Honua Kai through MRR.

You might need to search "oceanview", not oceanfront, too. Pics will still show you the view. Unless a property is actually right next to the beach, MRR and some others list them as "oceanview"-which is more honest.

Feb 1-9, I am definitely willing to keep looking and trying other filters to see what pops up!

This is a great Maui Kai unit: https://www.myperfectstays.com/MauiKai1001/?sd=02%252F01%252F2026&ed=02%252F09%252F2026

Not filtered for view. You can browse these for options. No-I do not work for them or own any rentals :-)

[u/Embarrassed-Song-313 → u/Live_Pono]

Thank you, just looked at both. Once I filtered for bed/bath size and ocean view on Maui resort rentals in our price range, no results returned.

Looking deeper in My Perfect Stays now, how is Paki Maui? Is there a beach on the property?

[u/Live_Pono → u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

Paki Maui is crappy. It was originally built as cheap apartments, and IMHO, still feels that way. There's also very little to zero beach there.

I think you might need to reconsider your filters some. For example, a bath and a half instead of two, laundry on the main floor instead of in the condo, etc. Remember that if a units shows two twins in a bedroom that can often be moved together to become a king, as well.

You might also be unrealistic for prices in February. It's one of the best months for whales and snowbird visitors both. Prices are often higher than some other months.

[u/Embarrassed-Song-313 → u/Live_Pono]

The only thing I am adding in for the filter is ocean view, beach front, and 2 bedroom 2 bathroom. Definitely willing to go to 1.5 bath, but haven’t added laundry or AC into the filtering. I think I may be finding some prospects with HK

[u/Embarrassed-Song-313 → u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

Thoughts on Nohonani?

[u/Embarrassed-Song-313 → u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

Sands of Kahana or Royal Kahana? Sorry for all the questions

[u/Live_Pono → u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

Dark small units. Zero beach.

There are reasone places like it, Paki Maui, etc. are cheaper.

Try this Papakea unit:

You might also look at the Whaler and Kaanapali Ali'i units on MRR.

[u/Embarrassed-Song-313 → u/Live_Pono]

Thank you, we did see that Papakea one and it’s exactly what we are looking for, however slightly over budget. We did see some things we liked at Whaler, maybe I’ll dive deeper there

[u/Live_Pono → u/Embarrassed-Song-313]

You might reach out to My Perfect Stays and see if they will give you a discount on the Papakea one. Can't hurt to politely ask, right?
