Disney Style Vacation for Grown Ups

Man, I couldn't resist this website. (okay, I am procrastinating instead of working, but it IS Friday afternoon!) It lists dozens of Hawaii resort and ocean front vacation homes for rent on both the Island and Maui. This company owns and manages homes in the most exclusive resort locations. These Maui Condo and homes are mansions! Luxurious features, huge rooms, and expensive artwork.

My first pick: Hale Nani Loa Maka, in Kolea Villa, is a 3BR/3BA penthouse located at the Waikoloa Beach Resort. Now, here is where I want to retire, this 2500 sq ft place sleeps 6, has private elevator access, gourmet kitchen, an overlooks Anaeho'omalu Bay and Kileaua.

Second Pick: Hale Ke Kai, is about the same size but is a two-level private home in Kailua-Kona that sleeps 8 people. It come with a full-sized kitchens and lanais on both levels, two master suites, a private wading pool, and is 'at' the ocean coastline.

If you want to stay only 30' from the beach then there is a corner-unit condo located on the third floor of the Mahana at Kaanapali Resort in Maui.

I can't say whether I would ever be able to stay there, but now that summer vacation is on me, I have been thinking about a great vacation. Dreaming is for dreamers, this vacation wouldn't be any more expensive than a trip to Disney, especially if I can get a group together.
