Accommodations

Why should I rent a condo instead of a hotel room?

Typically one of our West Maui condos are larger in size than a hotel room. It features a full-kitchen, living room, private bedroom(s) and sometimes several bathrooms. This gives guests the convenience and comfort of home. Watch TV in the living room and not disturb those who want to sleep in. Prepare breakfast to start the day or enjoy a sunset cocktail from the privacy of your lanai. Some condos are equipped with a washer and dryer or community laundry facilities to be able to stay fresh for another day of adventure. And guests can select the exact condo that suits their style, budget and needs. 

What is the difference between an “oceanfront” and “ocean view” condo?

An “Oceanfront” view is an unobstructed 180 degree view of the ocean. “Ocean view” describes a view of the ocean with possible obstructions or a view at an angle or between two objects or buildings.
