beachfront: Can you ever get tired of this beach scene at Kuau Maui? - 03/05/20 05:35 PM
Can you ever get tired of this beach scene at Kuau Maui? 
It's not the first time, and it won't be the last, for me to show off this beautiful peaceful beach scene in front of Mama's Fish House in Kuau Maui Hawaii.  When we lived just a few houses away from this beach, I would walk to the beach every morning and comb the sand for seashells.  The tidepools are great for dipping in, with no worries about getting swept out to sea.

Halama St. in Kihei Maui - an oceanfront neighborhood
If you want an oceanfront home in Kihei Maui, the options are somewhat limited, because much of the coastal real estate is taken up by condominium resorts, and beach parks.  South Kihei Road is the main artery along the coastline, and there's a few streets that extend beyond this and offer some neighborhoods with single family homes.  Uluniu Rd. is one, and Halama St. is another.  Let's see what's happening on Halama St....
Halama Street - runs between Kalama Park to the south, and up to W. Kapu Rd. to the north.

beachfront: Maui real estate market random stats for July 25 2018 - 07/25/18 05:58 PM
As I'm updating some links on my eastmaui.com website today I'm noticing the active and pending listings in the different parts of Maui, Hawaii.  A few random statistics caught my eye and it's interesting to see that the oceanfront segment of the market has a lot of inventory but very few properties under contract.  It appears to be the toughest selling category, but this report does not include condos which is a whole different market.

A quick condo sale in Kihei Maui makes my weekend!
I'm not usually one to brag about my sales, but this was a really quick one by Maui standards.  With only 2 opportunities to show the unit, due to heavy bookings, it was amazing it went under contract so quickly and sold in just 65 days.  It could have been quicker but there were some delays due to buyer and seller being on the mainland and both were doing 1031 exchanges.

beachfront: Aloha and farewell to Makena Beach and Golf Resort on Maui - 07/03/16 12:02 PM
The Makena Beach and Golf Resort in Makena Maui has closed it's doors as a resort.  We were lucky to spend one more night there on the 29th, our anniversary, and it was bittersweet.  Many happy memories are attached to this resort we love like an old friend.
 
It was always nice to stay at this unpretentious hotel on the south shore of Maui, because it was far from the more touristy resorts like the Grand Wailea and the Four Seasons. We appreciate that it was quiet and tranquil, as that's what we're used to.  As usual, the staff were all very … (9 comments)

beachfront: Oceanfront shoreline in Olowalu Maui HI - 04/17/16 11:21 AM
Olowalu Maui HI
Olowalu is an oceanfront community on Maui with a historically significant shoreline of sandy and rocky beaches.  All of the beaches in Hawaii are public access and it's common to see people beachcombing or fishing, even camping out by the water.  Beachfront properties sell at a premium and you can see why.
The coral reef off shore is known as one of the healthiest on the island and it's home to black tip reef sharks and manta rays.  Snorkeling the reef is a popular activity for Maui visitors and residents.
Olowalu was an agricultural area in ancient times when sandalwood … (2 comments)
