This is not a typical vacation rental. Aloha. Relax. Breathe. Custom-decorated with traditional art, artifacts, and furnishings of native Pacific Island cultures, Nicknamed Ra Amuru by its owner, world musician, visual artist, and international traveler Jim Berenholtz, it actually becomes a part of the island experience for those who stay there.

A 1-bedroom, 2-bath condo comfortably sleeps up four and includes a well-equipped kitchen, cable TV, surround-sound DVD/CD player, laundry in unit, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, and countless small aesthetic touches that make a vacation feel intimate. The ocean view deck has wonderful views of sunrise over Haleakala and sunset over the ocean near the island of Kaho'olawe.

Ra Amuru is less than a two minute walk to one of Kihei's best beaches, and about ten minutes drive to Maui's most spectacular beach, Makena, which has a clothing-optional area. The condo is also just past all the busy shopping districts of Kihei, yet within walking distance of excellent restaurants and stores. And onsite at the Maui Banyan condo complex are tennis courts, two pools plus Jacuzzis, and outdoor barbecues.
