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!
