Fantastic Vacation Condo Rentals Are Abundant on Maui

By Stephen Daniels


There are many reasons why Maui has long been designated by travel writers and magazines as the most popular Hawaiian island for vacationers. With a land area of 729 square miles this tropical isle may be second in size, but it is first in the hearts of visitors. Indeed, many families think of their West Maui condos like a second home from which to makes forays into the enormous variety of activities offered by the very best of all islands.

Needless to say, the miles of sand are one of the main attractions, as they offer expanses of sand in a rainbow of colors from white, gold and green to sparkling black. Young swimmers can find seas as calm as ponds merely a mile from areas that provide 20 foot waves for surfing enthusiasts. Coral reefs abound, making snorkeling and diving an exquisite underwater adventure, and there are lots of diving boats available for charter trips to the most thrilling dive areas. Of course, watching for humpback whales on their annual migration will be an absolute must for travelers who plan the timing of their vacations around that event.

While Maui is divided geographically into 3 main regions, each having its own large city, the biggest and most popular area remains West region surrounding LaHaina where accommodations are both abundant and reasonably priced. While hotels blanket the shore line, there are also fabulous Maui vacation condos all over the area that are great homes away from home. Visitors can relax and plan day outings to volcanoes, pineapple plantations, sugar cane acres along with other areas of interest. Additionally, from the West end of the island, visitors can find ferries available to take vacationers to other islands for a excursion. Much like the hotels, most condo developments offer concierge service to help tourists plan their sightseeing and activities plans.

Among its various attractions, LaHaina is home to the largest selection of restaurants on the island, from gourmet to fast food, while also offering an attractive night life. Little shops that carry one-of-a-kind artifacts created by local merchants are nestled between larger, flashier stores. The Maui Arts and Cultural Center has become very popular with both tourists and residents since it opened in 1994. It features an outdoor amphitheater, two indoor theaters, an art gallery plus a capacity to seat 200,000 people at its operas, concerts and performances from the biggest names in show business. .

Undoubtedly nobody should visit the Hawaiian Islands without attending a luau at least once, engaging in a hula dance, tasting fresh-picked pineapple, gazing at a rainbow or perhaps relaxing under the blue Hawaiian sky. Nothing enhances these experiences as much as returning to one of the many fantastic Maui vacation rentals available on the most popular island in Hawaii.
