Good news! Besides being able to see which condos can be vacation rented in the search results, we have also updated our Advanced Search Form so that you can now perform a search to include only the vacation rentable condos. Previously it was impossible to distinguish which condominiums could be rented short term, and which could not.

In the property detail, we also now show if the unit is a whole or fractional ownership. Hopefully, this will clear up confusion when it appears that a multi-million dollar unit seems so inexpensive.

I just noticed this listing today. It’s not our listing, but I think this is the best deal in Kihei, Maui right now for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in a nice area. It’s in Piilani III subdivision.

Our listing in Waimahaihai subdivision is also a great deal with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. It’s an older home with more square footage and a larger lot, with the possibility to add an attached ohana (cottage) later. It has two large living areas, with a very flexible floor plan. Central air, new roof shingles and it’s on a culdesac. It’s a very cute street.

We just launched our new vacation rentals section. We thought it would be convenient for our website visitors to be able to search for a vacation rentals directly from our website. We already have 29 vacation rentals in our database and it’s growing rapidly. We decided to make it free for vacation rental owner’s to put their rentals into our system. It is for Hawaii vacation rentals only. We are toying with the idea of allowing long term rental listings as well. Let us know what you think.

New Advanced Search Form
If you havn’t tried our new and improved Advanced Search Form, you may want to give it a try. You can now perform a single search with all of the criteria you want in a property at one time. For example, with the old search form, if you wanted to find home with “Ocean” views and homes with “Mountain/Ocean” views, you would have to perform two separate searches. Now you can select all of the criteria you want and then get all of the results at once. This form really goes into more detail than the “Maui MLS Quick Search” on our home page.

For those of you who missed the House Hunters, Maui episode, which aired on HGTV. I recorded it and now you can watch it here online. It featured Donna Hansen (my mother) as the real estate agent. You will need QuickTime 7 to view it, although your computer probably already has it installed.
