aloha!

We both grew up by the sea, David in Ireland, Kathy in San Francisco and we always knew that however far away we moved from it, we would always come back.  After we met in college, we traveled much of the world together, but it was Maui and the stretch of beach in front of the Mahana that captured our hearts.  We bought our first Mahana condo (#818) in 1977.  We bought #708 in 2001 and #819 in 2004. Over the years, we returned to Maui and the Mahana for a month every summer.  For our children, it was a second home. Now young adults, they still love coming back every chance they can. 

For us it’s a home away from home. In winter we love watching the humpback whales from the windows and lanai. In summer it’s the dolphins and turtles. Kathy loves getting up to see the dawn emerging over the ocean. David is mesmerized by the stars. We all enjoy walking or jogging on the beach, swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear blue water below, exploring nearby beaches such as Kapalua Bay, Napili Bay, Fleming Beach, Honolua Bay. We also love going to the Farmers Market for fresh papaya and mangos and finding local fish to grill back at the Mahana.  

It’s the majesty of the ocean and the mountains. It’s the trade winds and the friendly people. It’s something else - totally special that is impossible to describe. You have to come to Maui and the Mahana and you will experience it yourself!
