Just what to look for in a Maui condo
The windy corridor between two volcanoes can be experienced, the moment we land at the Maui airport. This place also happen to be the address of majority of the people living in the island, the core centre for the businessmen and the local government (cops, courts as well as state/country government agencies). This is where you can get a good bargain for dining or shopping but you can’t really stay here. If you desire a first class Maui beach leasing, then you have to get yourself a beautiful residential area.
Also known as the dream city, Kahului, homes thousands of sugarcane workers who wanted to have their homes at a distance from the plantations. The hotels that you’ll discover close to the airport are superior enough for a night halt but they are definitely not the place where you can expend your total vacation.
Wailuku- Wailuku gives a look of 1940s because of its faded wooden storefronts and shops as well as its old plantations homes. Even though numerous people hurry past the place to watch the good-looking Iao Valley, this small town’s worth a stopover if you like to witness some real people working on a little more important than a tan. Even though the beaches are not too good for swimming, the town has an awesome view of Haleakala, a historic B&B, a couple of hotels, some really interesting bungalow architecture, a Frank Lloyd Wright building, great budget restaurants and the famous Bailey House Museum.
It is actually West Maui that you witness on postcards. You will have a feel of the paradise, once you vist the Western Maui Mountains with its jungle full of native species and their jagged peaks. Some of the island’s finest beaches can be visited here. And as we all know: This entire stretch of coastline along, as they say, Maui’s “forehead,” right from Kapalua to the famous historic Lahaina port, happens to be the island’s most popular resort area (followed closely by south Maui). However, before you pick a Maui vacation condo on this coast settle on the community you wish to make your base.
Lahaina- Lahaina is famous for its galleries on every corner, t-shirt shops and restaurants, but it is basically the old whaling seaport. Still one can experience a lot of genuine history amidst all these. But today you won’t find whalers parading ashore hunting for women and grog, which otherwise was the regular feature in this village. However, a few old hotels (like the restored Pioneer Inn of 1901 on the harbour), a few oceanfront condos and quaint B&Bs have a lot to chose from making it an immense base for travellers who longing to be at the centre of things- shops, restaurants and nightlife.
Kaanapali- If you go farther into the North along the west coast of Maui, you can find the first master-planned resort of Hawaii- the Pricey midrise hotels. They extend almost 3 miles along the attractive gold-sand beach and are coupled by a landscaped parkway and broken up by a whole jungle of plants. Encompassed between beachfront and hillside properties are many landscape golf courses. The mall, Whalers Village, (with expensive shops like Louis Vuitton and Tiffany and a great whale museum) and plentiful restaurants are in a walking distance from the waterfront walkway else by the resort shuttle, that also supplies the West Maui Airport in the north. To do boating, shopping, dining and for entertainment at Lahaina three miles to the south, you can use shuttles. Kaanapali is quite admired with convention families and groups.
