Honua Kai - Island living the way it's supposed to be.

What is it about Honua Kai that makes you want to invite your whole family, all your friends, even acquaintances to join you?  It's as if you want everyone to experience how authentically Maui can meet modern.

My first introduction to Honua Kai was a highly touted brokers' open. With the promise of food, wine, and a beautiful west side sunset, I was in!  The Honua Kai Residences gave me such a sweet sense of how developers can take the Maui landscape and artfully design residences that blend into our tender West Maui Mountains.

Each residence is sold with tasteful furnishings. With three different floor plans - The Island Retreat, The Tommy Bahama Style and The Garden Oasis - interested buyers have a satisfying collection from which to choose. The units have beautiful granite counter tops, 11' ceilings, high-end stainless steel appliances, and well thought-out kitchens, satisfying the clean modern style.  All the residences come supplied with the much needed essentials down to the martini shaker.  If all my friends and family could have met me there, we would have used it - shaken, not stirred.

Duke's Beach House is located within the resort. Aina Gourmet Market and Deli has some of the best baristas on Maui!  I did not have to go far for a very nice cup of coffee as the sun broke open the skies of Kaanapali this morning.  Yes, I stayed a night or two and pleasantly felt lifted away to one of those awe-inspiring locations on Maui.  I encourage you to take the time to view the website to learn about this new paradise called Honua Kai, located on the west side of Maui.  ownhonuakai.com

Breaking News...

It's so nice to live on Maui for a number of reasons. 

Here, the term "breaking news" is often quite different from what it is elsewhere around the world. Here are some examples from today's Maui News and Maui Now:

• Owner of diver flag & float alive and well

• Emergency training in county building

• Record high temperature set in Kahului

• National meeting on coral reef issues comes to Maui

By no means am I diminishing the problems that the world is experiencing. They're still there. 

It's just nice to know that, at least here on our little rock in the middle of the Pacific, at least in comparison to the headlines everyone else wakes up to every day, it's breaking news that one of our divers is alive and well and that 93˚ is a record temperature. If that's the biggest news Maui has to offer, sign me up.

There is indeed a slower pace of life here. There are tongue-in-cheek bumper stickers and T-shirts sensibly proclaiming, "Slow down. This ain't the mainland." There are occasions in which the line of three or four cars will stop so the mommy chicken and her five chicks can cross the road. It's as though everyone who lives here understands that a Maui life is truly meant to be lived - not merely existed. There's an island-wide culture that gives everyone permission to exhale. Let me write that again: there's an island-wide culture that gives everyone permission to exhale. You don't find that in very many places, do you?

Yes, we pay attention to the clock when we have to. We play our roles of responsibility. For the most part, we're kind to one another. We're intelligent - academically, intellectually, and emotionally. We're whole. We're actively involved in our local community, our state community and beyond. It's just nice to know that our little island can pretty much be counted on to have peaceful headlines at the end of the day. And we can exhale.

You, too, can enjoy waking up to these reassuring headlines now that Sugar Cove Unit 2C (whose beach, pictured above, is just 40 steps from your lanai) is on the market. Call or text me at 808-205-2175 to schedule your private showing of this pristine oceanfront 3/3.5. See more at http://www.MauiSugarCove.com.  Sugar Cove - Life is sweeter here.
