About Wailea's Makena

What a great day for triathlon’s Xterra World Championship. A little overcast but warm, over 500 athletes from around the world began the race at Maluaka Beach in Makena Maui. Right next door is the new oceanfront private enclave of Maluaka - 13 homesites on the Ocean in Makena.

The Maui Prince Hotel in the news...

There has been a lot of news lately about the luxury resort on Maui's south shore - Makena's Maui Prince Hotel.

Two years ago this resort and the 310-room hotel was bought by developer Everett Dowling and Morgan Stanley for $575,000,000. Fast forward to now, and things aren't looking so bright for the beachfront vacation destination.

Just this Monday, the foreclosure was filed in 2nd Circuit Court on Maui. Dowling told The Maui News that he is in default on the loan and that he has been in discussions with the lender for four months. He said the debt on the property totaled $411,000,000.

Last summer we enjoyed a relaxing stay at the hotel and we were thinking about doing it again. Maybe now is a good time to take advantage of their Kama'aina specials.

Including its union staff, the Maui Prince employs about 380 people full time, part time and as casual workers.

Aloha Everyone,

It's me Jeannie, Realtor on Maui. I know many of you are probably not thinking of me since Spring has sprung and Summer begun !! That is in most areas of our wonderful country. So I thought I'd write my first activerain blog. Although the humpback whales are gone, and the Summer tourists are just arriving I can't seem to take a day off anytime soon so this blog will be short and sweet.

If you never thought you could afford of piece of Paradise, here is your once in a lifetime chance. We are seeing beautifully located and upgraded properties for prices unheard in recent history. For instance you could find a Condo-Ocean front- 2 bedroom with a lock off (so you could rent the rest and have a one bedroom.one bath anytime you wanted to plop in to Maui for a little getaway) and still possibly get income on your investment. All this for 399K. You heard me right 399K!!! Crazy right?

So I guess I'll be as busy as ever. Looking for the great deals for my clients.

Miss you! Wish you were here!!!

OH- Just in case you forgot what Paradise looks like -heres a hint:
