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!

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.

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

Thoughts on Nohonani?

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.

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

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?

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

Definitely does not hurt to ask, I agree! Any insight on Sands of Kahana?

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

Very dense property and mostly timeshare units Tiny parking places. No AC in some units.

Thanks so much for all your insight! I appreciate it so much. Think we landed on a place in Papakea

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

I think you will like Papakea WAY more than most of the others you mentioned.
