It’s #bookdirect day! Tired of paying service fees and limited communication with your vacation rental owner? #bookdirect safely
Do you plan for vacation rental check-out day? Do consider logistics if you have a late-night flight, so you end your vacation happy!
You can avoid service fees on Vrbo and Airbnb by booking directly through the owner. Should you, and if yes, how?
This month we replaced the living and dining room furnishings at our Maui Kamaole condo. Love the update in look and style.
We are excited to announce our Sugar Beach remodel is complete! Love the new kitchen and wall color, together with some new furnishings.
It’s been a year…. we’ve been thankful to have a steadier flow of guests since October’s reopening of tourism with the introduction of the pre-travel Covid test. Our most recent guests at our Kamaole Sands 2-206 condo left us a really nice review on the booking platform (we advertise on[…]

Here’s an update on our Kamaole Sands 2-206 progress: our renovations are progressing a little slower than I was wishing. I had hoped we’d be finishing this weekend and then have a few days to clean and set everything up. We are planning on September 22, 2019. Here is where[…]
I stopped by our new Kamaole Sands 2-206 condo this afternoon. I had picked up another bathroom and hallway mirror at Lowes. Here are some updated pictures! Enjoy!

As reported in June, we are proud new owners of Kamaole Sands 2-206. We bought a one bedroom two bathroom condo with a beautiful ocean view. The inside of the condo was in pretty original condition and this meant – renovation time! Everything must go. We told our well-connected realtor[…]
Yesterday we closed on our new Maui Oceanview Condo – Kamaole Sands 2-206. First order of business, a number of hard-working housekeepers came and took all the furnishings included in the purchase.

I must admit, I am more active on Facebook than on this blog. If you are on Facebook, do follow us at Maui Oceanview Condos. Recently I did two video walk throughs of our condos (on Facebook), showing potential guests what the condos look like. The posts were pretty popular[…]
This past week we had repeat guests who had previously stayed at our Palms at Wailea condo with their family stay at our oceanfront Kihei Surfside condo. They wrote us a lovely Kihei Surfside review in our guestbook, together with some of their experiences while on Maui: Cara & Sig,[…]
