Why Choose Maui Vacation Rentals

Maui Vacation Rentals
Named for the trickster demigod of Polynesian lore, Maui is becoming one of the most popular Hawaiian islands for tourists. Away from the madness in "Honozoolu", Maui offers the visitor the very best that Hawaii has to offer. Over the last number of years many visitors to Maui now prefer staying in vacation rentals by owner rather than hotels. Choose from Kihei condos, Hana vacation cottages, Kaanapali ocean view homes, beach homes, townhouses and many more Maui vacation home rentals all by owner. From the historic whaling town of Lahaina in West Maui, to the Kaanapali coast with is miles of beautiful beaches and world famous golf courses, to the sun-drenched 10 miles stretch of Kihei in South Maui, or a drive along the winding road to Hana through tropical rainforests, waterfalls and spectacular scenery, the Hawaiian island of Maui, is a treasure, waiting for you to explore, when you stay in one of the many Maui vacation rentals.

Visit Makawao in Upcountry Maui

No vacation in Maui is complete without a trip up country to Makawao, the home of lush farmland, sheep, cattle, deer and the beautiful Jacaranda trees. It is also called cowboy or paniolo country dating back to 1793, when Captain George Vancouver brought the first cattle to Hawaii under the reign of King Kamehameha I.

This July 3 -6 Upcountry Makawao will hold its 53rd annual rodeo celebrating Independence Day Maui-style, with qualifying rounds, Bull Bash and rodeo. Read more about the Hawaiian Paniolo and be sure to take in the rodeo if you visit Maui in July.
Today we have a treat for you with more great photos by Maui photographer Jimmie Hepp. He has moved from West Maui to Makawao, and has captured some great photos of the beautiful Jacaranda trees which are now in bloom. Remember he took the fabulous photos of the Hawaiian Monk Seals.


Jimmie also caught some wildlife surprises. See below.
