2. Top floor tides: Lahaina Condo (from USD 320)
Nestled on the West Coast of Maui, this condo on the top floor will blow you away the moment you step foot inside. Apart from the incredible view, it is equipped with everything you need for a tropical getaway, such as beach towels, beach chairs, and snorkeling gear. Nothing stands between you and the wide ocean … except the balcony ledge! Your private lanai will keep you occupied for hours, whether you’re spotting the turtles in the clear water, being hypnotized by the sound of the waves, or admiring the fiery sunsets at dusk. Enjoy a romantic moment with your loved one with a glass of wine in hand, as you take in the beauty of Hawaii’s sunsets. The interior is decorated according to a tropical theme, and the sofa easily converts to a queen-sized sleeper to accommodate extra guests. Keep the sliding doors open and fall asleep to the ocean waves and the lilting jingle of the seashell lamp on your comfortable king-sized bed.

3. Watch the waves: 1 Bedroom Condo With Amazing Views (from USD 301)
Sitting in the lush tropical grounds of the Kuleana complex, this beautiful remodeled 1-bedroom and 1-bathroom unit is best suited for 2 people, and can fit up to a maximum of 4 people.
Do note that visitors must make their way up 3 flights of stairs to get to the unit, so it might present some difficulties for guests with mobility issues. A large sliding glass door in the living room leads out to the lanai where a canvas of blues and greens await you. Take in the views of the neighboring islands of Lana'i and Moloka'i while enjoying a cup of Hawaii’s famous Kona coffee. The fully equipped kitchen is atmospheric, with the stone accent walls, custom wood cabinets, and granite bar counter top. The essence of the ocean is recreated in the bathroom, which contains a spacious walk-in shower and a marble washbasin in the shape of a clamshell. The trouble with paradise is that the beaches tend to be overcrowded. Here however, you have access to a semi-private cove where you can bask in the sun, go snorkeling with the fish, or enjoy a water sport. From the privacy of your balcony, the impressive sunsets of the island of Maui are the final ingredient to your already perfect day in wonderland.

Ocean toys abound for your personal use, including kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, wave skis, boogie boards, and snorkels. There are also bicycles for a nice long bike ride along the ocean. Two white crystal and glass chandeliers suspend like jewels floating above the fully equipped gourmet kitchen furnished with top-of-the-line appliances, custom-designed cabinets, and quartzite sparkling counter tops. Day or night, the lounge chairs on your patio offer a lovely spot to soak up Hawaii’s beauty. Be mesmerized by the rhythm of the crashing waves on the shore, and see if you can spot humpback whales exhaling sprays of briny mist in the far distance. Dine outside on your private lanai overlooking the deep blue Pacific Ocean and pristine white sands as the night quietens and the scent of night-blooming jasmine and herbs fills the cool evening air. If it starts to get chilly in the evenings, light the fire pit for a toasty temperature. As the moon casts a silver shadow on the inky ocean and the stars come out to play, retire to the luxurious sleeping sanctuary. The silky 500-thread-count hand-pressed designer sheets adorning the king-sized Power bed will caress you to sleep. The bed even comes with an adjustable remote allowing for head and leg incline. Gleaming mirrors set in a mosaic pattern of baroque swirls, sparkling quartzite counter tops, and a hand-carved solid quartz sink adorn the elegant tempered pewter-colored bathroom. The 8-jet whirlpool tub, which can comfortably fit 2 people, is perfect for a romantic soak.
