This is exciting news for Anthurium House guests! A new walkable restaurant with a great ocean view of Keawakapu Beach. The Beach House is coming to Mana Kai Maui Resort in late 2026. The new oceanfront restaurant by Peter Merriman and Handcrafted Restaurants will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hopefully, they will serve Monkey Pod’s famous Mai Tai. 🍹

Heads up to my guests. New parking fees and rules for the Kamaole beaches. We typically don’t go to those beaches anyways and Kam III is easy to walk to. We prefer the south end of Maluaku, Po’olenalena, Keawakapu and other beaches in Wailea and Makena (not Makena Beach/Big Beach, which charges for parking and isn’t safe) to get away from the crowds. These beaches are still free.

Park Maui charges visitors $10/day at Kamaole beaches with weekly pass options. Resident-only morning hours on weekends. More beaches coming.

Great news. Just heard that O’o Farms has recovered from the storms and is open. You can stop by their gift shop at any time, but I highly recommend both of their tours. I’ve don’t both and they are great! Beautiful views and great meals. What do you like better - coffee or lunch?

We are officially open for LUNCH.
We are open from 12pm-9pm, with Happy Hour in the middle from 3-5pm.

If you want to support local, consider renting from Kihei Rent A Car. They have a shuttle from the airport to their location in Kihei. The older the car you select, the cheaper it is!

Aloha! Our phones and Internet are finally working. Thank you for your patience during the past 5 days. We were doing our best to answer all your phone calls. We take pride in the fact that we have real people answering your calls, no robots, no automated “press 1” nonsense, no voicemails, just real people. (During business hours ;)

Maui is beautiful as always. Yes, there will be some delays while we fix some things, but there is so much for you to enjoy on our beautiful island. We hope that you still come and we thank those who are.

Thanks for everyone’s kind messages and emails. Don’t worry about us! We have been through a lot over the past 6 years, but we are here and will always be here for our guests. We lost 27 cars in the flood, but we have 410 cars in our fleet so your upcoming reservations are unaffected. We have 36 years of honoring 100% of our reservations.

Mahalo,

This review is from a repeat guest whose entire stay occurred during the recent epic Kona storm. He had the most positive attitude every time I checked in on him. I’m so grateful for awesome guests like him, especially during stressful times like this week. (Video of the storm he took from the lanai in the comments.)

We ask our guests to let us know if there is anything we can provide to make their stay more comfortable and take their responses seriously. A repeat guest mentioned the sofa bed mattress was starting to lose support. While the couch itself was still in great shape, we decided to replace the entire thing. We loved our old one and it fit the space well, so we bought the same one — now available in a lighter color — with a premium memory foam mattress. I hope our guests enjoy it.

I'm excited to share that I will be helping to rebuild Lahaina, Maui in April with Samaritan's Purse. Please support my mission trip by purchasing squares in my Super Bowl contest. https://superbowlpoolsite.com/contest/649527?p=Lahaina2026
(Password is Lahaina2026 if asked for)

Each square costs $20. Fifty percent of total proceeds will be split 4 ways by winners. If all squares are sold, the pot will be $250 per quarter. Proceeds will support travel costs and remaining funds will be donated to Samaritan's Purse.

Samaritan’s Purse is ministering to Maui in the aftermath of 2023 wildfires. The fire erupted on August 8 when brushfires near the historic town of Lahaina were blown into a fury by distant Hurricane Dora. My family helplessly watched the smoke from South Maui and then woke up the next day to the terrible news. The deadly blaze killed more than 100 residents and destroyed the island’s most historic areas, including thousands of homes in Lahaina and the upcountry neighborhoods of Kula.

The following week, we volunteered with Hope Chapel to organize and send food, water and personal item care packages to West Maui. I've been looking for another way to give back, and Samaritan's Purse answered my prayer.

It has taken years, but the land has finally been cleared and deemed safe for rebuilding. Samaritan's Purse will be hosting groups for several months. From April 19-25, our mission team will help rebuild homes and, more importantly, offer the homeowners spiritual and emotional support. Mahalo for being a part of this effort to rebuild Lahaina!

Same great food as the original. Just a little closer with a more modern feel — if the stray chicken, quonset hut isn’t your vibe.
