Our Island paradise:
We have fallen in love with the beauty of Kauai and its people.

Kauai is known as the "Garden Island" due to its lush green landscape. Even among the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai stands out for its natural beauty. The rivers and streams nourish an abundance of trees, flowering plants and exotic birds, many species of which cannot be found anywhere else. Scenic wonders include Waimea Canyon, Hanalei Valley, Kilauea Lighthouse and wildlife refuge, Fern Grotto, many stunning beaches and, for the courageous, Kalalau Valley.

You’ve probably seen more of Kauai than you realize, and a casual drive from our condo toward the north shore might surprise you as you pass the scene where stampeding dinosaurs nearly stomped the humans in “Jurassic Park”. Kauai has been used as a location for movies set in Brazil, Korea, Vietnam, Africa, and even Mars. So many movies have been set here you can take a tour which visits many movie locations.

Much of the island is untouched by human development, and you can explore it by foot, boat, plane or helicopter. The Waimea Canyon, “the grand canyon of the pacific”, the rocky NaPali Coast, and the beautiful Hanalei Valley offer breathtaking vistas. Or, you can simply drive through whispering palm groves, rolling hills and quaint villages. Perhaps you'll take advantage of some of the world's finest beaches, golf courses and restaurants. Or you might go hiking, surfing, snorkeling, hiking, bicycling, kayaking, ziplining, horseback riding, or driving among Kauai's unrivaled natural splendors. Possibilities for exploring the outdoor treasures on Kauai are unlimited. We keep a list of things we want to do and it keeps getting longer even though we try to do some of them whenever we can.

Or--You might kick back and let all your stress melt away in the warm sun and gentle trade winds of Kauai. Visitors sometimes have difficulty realizing they don’t have to do anything! Catamaran cruises, world-class golf courses, surf, snorkeling, hiking, hula shows, luaus, and sight-seeing can easily use up your day. With weather that is moderate year around, (average temperatures range from 70° to 81°F) it’s OK to lie for hours on the beach, or sit on one of your lanais and watch the surf. Also, while you can’t use this as an excuse every time you want to come, Kauai is a popular place to get married as well as to honeymoon.

My husband and I found Volcano Village about 15 years ago. It was our dream to purchase property there, and 10 years ago we did just that. We built a small magical little cabin. For many years we enjoyed it ourselves from time to time, and on occasion our friends and family would go and stay at the cabin. Each time we always heard the same things... How beautiful it was, how inspiring it felt, and how they just never wanted to leave. So 2 years ago we put it on the market as a vacation rental.

The cabin is a huge cabin/studio, it offers a very large bathroom with a Large soak tub, a stand up shower, full washer & dryer, full size kitchen, dining area, sitting room with a view of the forest and a gorgeous gas fireplace. We just (2007) put in a brand NEW queen size pillow top mattress that makes you fill like you are really sleeping in the clouds and though there is a large picture window just above the bed so as you lay there you can keep your eyes on the Big Dipper.

Only 10 miles from the airport. Minutes from shopping and restaurants in Kihei and Wailea. A short drive to Maalea harbor for your sunset & whale watching boat trips. Fantastic snorkeling from the shore. Whale watching from January through April.

One of the finest maui hawaii hotels the Lahaina Inn, will make you feel as though you've stepped back in time to the turn of the 20th century. It's perfectly appropriate because the inn is located in the heart of historic and colorful old LahainaTown on the warm, westside of Maui. It's easy to imagine walking back out the front door to the Lahaina of the early 1900s.

Ten rooms and two suites, decorated with authentic, antique furnishings create an atmosphere of adventure and romance usually reserved for European inns. Owner Toni Johnson has captured the charm and elegance of the past and combined it flawlessly with modern features and amenities that seasoned travelers expect Lahaina Hotels. Except TV - you won't find any television set in your room at Lahaina Inn. There's no need - what with the history and culture of Lahaina and Hawaii right outside the door.

Lahaina, unlike so many other tourist destinations, has a real "sense of place." You can feel it and see it in the locals - by the pride they take in their town and by the way they treat folks that come to visit. Although Lahaina Inn's history originates in the early 1900s, there is so much more to the annals of Lahaina. It goes way back - back to the ancient Hawaiians that first lived along the shores of West Maui.

If you're looking for a vacation rentals in Maui "where history comes alive," Lahaina is the place to visit and Lahaina Inn is unlike any hotels in Maui. Enjoy!
