Take 15% off until after the election. Why? in Lahaina

Why the 15% discount at my 5th and 6th floor Lahaina Shores Beach Resort mountain view studios? Times are tough ~~ As a famed hotelier said, "there's nothing more expensive than an empty room." Offer good on bookings departing by 12/16/12.

A lot more than a hotel room, for a lot less! ($120 or $135 low season rate before 15% discount.) Lahaina Shores Beach Resort is known in the travel business as a condo/hotel. Each unit is privately owned. Most owners have contracted with a firm that markets the property on their behalf. A relatively small number of us owners have elected to market our own units, feeling we can offer quality, and at a better rate.

In addition to the complete furnishings of a vacation home, you are provided with the "niceties" of a beachfront resort hotel including an open, breezy, comfortably furnished lobby, central air conditioning, large swimming pool, large jacuzzi, BBQ, 24 hr. front desk, etc. The central air conditioning has individual electronic controls. The entryway, the lobby, elevators and hallways have been completely remodeled, no doubt inspired by early Hawaiian plantation mansions.

The property is fronted by the ocean and has a beach which is excellent for sunbathing, safe swimming and snorkeling. (There's a reef about 150 yds. out which protects the beach from surf.) The large, manicured lawn area and swimming pool between the building and the beach are enhanced with umbrella'd tables & chairs, plus loungers for reading, sunning and snoozing. There's even a heated, bubbling, jacuzzi spa!

The significant renovation of my sixth floor Mountain View studio #624 was completed in July '08. This includes an all new kitchen with solid wood cabinetry and features an oven range and microhood, a sleek vanity room, walk in shower with a transparent glass side wall, Mexican travertine and ceramic tile floors and shower walls, new carpeting, etc. The Hansgrohe wall bar shower is the same as you sometimes find in 5 star hotels.

Budget minded? My popular fifth floor studio #520 is available at even less. Please inquire. Current photos appear in the photo gallery on owner's own website. (Website link supplied upon request.)

These centrally air conditioned 550 sq. ft. mountain view studios consist of a large living/bedroom area, a dining area and a bath and/or walk in shower with a separate vanity room. The firm California king bed, along with the carpeted bedroom / living area, make these desirable retreats. Also, there's a rollaway bed with standard size mattress for a third guest. Both studios provide an unobstructed view of the West Maui Mountains.

High speed internet cable access is available. Also, a 24" Vizio flat screen HDTV and a DVD/CD player were recently installed in each unit. The fully equipped kitchens are complete with full size appliances, a microwave, cookware, dishes and utensils. Plenty of linens and towels (as well as beach towels) are provided. And you can leave your hair dryer and iron at home.

At 475 Front St., this is the only beachfront resort in Lahaina. It's just a 3/10 mile walk along Front St. to Lahaina Harbor and quaint, historic Lahaina Town itself, Maui's storied shop-til-you-drop, gallery hopping, dining & partying mecca. Lahaina Harbor offers a full menu of boat trips for diving, snorkeling, sport fishing, whale or dolphin watching. Or for a memorable sunset dinner cruise.

World class golf is available nearby. (Think Ka'anapali and Kapalua!)
