We really enjoyed our two week stay in Trevor’s two bedroom condo from November 1st to 16th. It was great for a mixed family: two grandparents plus two grandkids with their parents.
The beach and pools were big hits, and we spent several days just playing in water and not leaving the property.
We happily used the barbecues several times but didn’t actually cook in the unit. This was a vacation, after all.
Our grands, five and three, enjoyed Slappy Cakes in the shopping center near Times Market. The grandparents walked over to Java Jazz several times for coffee drinks. And we brought home pizza from Pizza Paradiso a few times. The condo location is very good, with the market and food options within easy walking distance.
We ordered fish tacos to take out a few times, from Duke’s. They were delicious! We also went there for breakfast a couple of days, and dinner once. They were booked for dinner through the end of November, so we couldn’t plan ahead, but if you call they’ll put you on the list, and call back when they have a table. It worked very well!
Other activities were: spending an afternoon at the Maui Ocean Center (great aquarium!), driving to the summit of Haleakala on a gorgeous clear day, walking up the stairs to see the Iao Needle, and playing in the stream below the bridge. We tried out the boogie boards at DT Fleming beach, our five year old and her mom took surfing lessons at Ka’anapali beach, and we shopped for treasures in Lahaina after our traditional visit to Cheeseburgers in Paradise. The mynah birds at dusk in the big Banyan Tree were amazing, the little black baby chicks were a close second, and the ice cream and Dole Whip at Lappert’s were satisfyingly the same as always.
Trevor was very easy to work with, and answered any communication promptly. Monty was attentive and helpful while we were there. Honua Kai was an easy place to be. When we return to Maui with our grandchildren we’re sure they’ll want to stay in the same place.
We had a lovely time! Thank you, Trevor.
