About Us

We love wildlife sightseeing. While in Juneau, Alaska, we were on one of Captain Larry's whale and orca watching tours. If you find yourself in Juneau, this is a must. Anyway, while on that trip, we were talking with Captain Larry and his first mate. As it turns out, lots of the naturalists who work in Alaska spend their winters in Maui, basically, with the same whales. While discussing this, the first mate's eyes glazed over and he just said, 'This is nothing, you should see Maui in winter.' So we did!

I had been in Lahaina once before as this was a port of call on the cruise I was on. Cruises rarely do a port justice, but I did see Lahania Shores and made a note that if I ever got to come back, that is where I wanted to stay. After the Alaska trip, we knew we were going to Maui, and I knew where we were going to stay. We made a reservation for an 11 night stay the following January. We were both a little concerned that there would be enough to do to keep us interested for that long. As the plane landed at Kahului, we just said to each other that it was only 11 days and if we didn't like it, we just wouldn't come back.

The next year, and the next three years, we came for the month of February and regretted that we'd chosen such a short month! With each visit, we did more and more research looking at real estate, and pricing units at Lahaina Shores. It was a pretty easy decision for us that this was where we wanted to be. So, on that last visit, we chose a realtor, and waited for something to come on the market. Clearly, it all worked out!

They Say ...

We arrived Easter Sunday 2016 for 6 nights. Check in was great, just like checking into a hotel. None of the hassles we have had with some other VRBO properties (getting keys from rental companies, property not clean, etc). The property was everything described on other reviews and by the owner.

An entire wall of glass facing the ocean on the 7th floor, with granite and stainless steel throughout. Five star amenities. We slept with the glass slider cracked open, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves. Each morning we would have coffee on the balcony, watching whales go by.

We like to rent properties right by a downtown area, so we can walk to shopping and restaurants if we want. There is a luau right next door. It is at the south edge of town, so it is quiet overlooking the beach and on the property (unlike much of Kaanapali), but the action of town is just a few steps away. If you like luxury levels amenities, in a smaller boutique type hotel, you will not be disappointed.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to create a home away from home in Maui for every guest to experience. Whether you prefer to prepare gourmet meals, or eat out every night. Watch sports on TV or sip a cocktail watching the Pacific. The Penthouses are the perfect place for you.
