We%26#39;re looking for a place to stay on Maui for a month. We have to be on a budject so we can stay that long. Any hope for us?
month on mauiBe a big help if you define ';budget';...as in how much per night or for the month for rent.
month on mauiAs Bill said, it would help if you defined budget however the place we are staying is about as budget as it will get on Maui (I think). We are at Hale Aina, lookup koolauvacations.com
Will be back on Jan 26th so can update you then on the accomodations but another TripADvisor poster did recommend it...

Try www.vrbo.com or other rent-from-owner websites. You can often negotiate great extended stay rates. We did this last November and paid less than the owner%26#39;s listed rate which was already much less than the best internet rate I could find going through the condo complex%26#39;s management company. We%26#39;ve already made plans to do the same this coming Fall.
One word of advice, make your plans early since finding a month-long block of time may be difficult at popular locations especially during peak times of the year.
We were on a strict budget, too, since we put more importance on a longer stay rather than a luxury stay. When you stay longer you can almost pretend that you live there! We loved our visit and found that there are many things to do and see on Maui that are free or quite inexpensive.
Yes, there is hope!
';Budget'; as in $3,000 for the mo. for a place to stay, not counting food and fun.
gottotravel what did you pay for month on maui? Where did you stay?
Aloha Diva!
$3000 for a month is definitely do-able. We are paying just under $100/night (including taxes) for a studio condo in Napili. We chose it for its nice beach and quiet, lush location. The winter months can be more windy and rainy from what I understand, however we found it to be very nice weather when we were there in November.
If you can%26#39;t find something available in Napili (or you%26#39;d prefer a different location), you can also look just south in the area between Kaanapali and Napili (Honokowai, Kahana for example). The weather gets better apparently as you move south and there are many oceanfront condo complexes, though not all are on a sandy beach.
Kihei is another option for good value. Condos there often have good proximity to nice beaches and lots of services. I would check TripAdvisor%26#39;s reviews for any complex you are considering. Another great resource is Maui Revealed. You can go onto their website (www.wizardpub.com) even if you don%26#39;t own the book to see arial pictures of the resorts so you know exactly what it looks like and where it is located in relation to the ocean, if that is important for you.
I%26#39;m a fan of Napili Bay obviously! Other people I know have stayed in the other areas I%26#39;ve mentioned and said they loved them, too. Just decide what features or location are most important to you to help narrow down the choice. Hope that%26#39;s a help.

We found a great place and I can give you the info.

We are staying here in February. Not sure if they would have a month rate but it looks like a nice rate. We can tell you by Feb 14th what we thought about it if you%26#39;re interested.
