On Maui, fall is more of a feeling than a season. It can be found in the first taste of pumpkin spice latte, iced, not hot. It is discovered in the first sighting of Halloween decorations lining the shelves of the stores. And it is realized in all the cozy amenities our Maui Life Realty seasonal sanctuaries provide! Our temperatures won’t reach crisp and cool, and the fronds on the palm trees won’t change to scarlet, gold, and orange, but as you relax poolside with a Mai Tai in hand, sink into the depths of plush sofas in the living rooms, and wrap yourself in large fluffy bath towels that really will cover your entire body, the spirit of fall will be experienced and never forgotten the next time you visit Maui.
Cozy and Comfortable
Cozy and comfortable are two words that go hand in hand, and when you step inside our Hawaiian retreats for the first time, you will fall in love. Living rooms with glass walls that push open to blur the lines between inside and outside offer a large appeal, but separate areas in which to sit and to dine will help make the large rooms feel intimate. Vaulted ceilings covered in shiplap help to make the spaces feel more cozy, more welcoming, and as you lounge on plush sectionals watching the first of the Christmas movies that are showing on our state of the art televisions, all that will be missing is cold breezes, and can you honestly say you are missing the cold?
A World of Lush and Verdant Beauty
Maybe your favorite part of the house won’t be inside the home (or condo) at all. Maybe it will be the large patios and balconies that extend across the back of your fall sanctuary, furnished with padded lounges, outdoor sectionals, and small side tables that are perfect for holding your drinks. Patio tables surrounded by chairs will have you enjoying your at home meals al fresco, and even without fall leaves, the somewhat drier air of fall will make your outside activities feel fresh and fall-like.
Hammocks tied between two trees are an especially cozy extra found in some of our private vacation homes, perhaps designed to be large enough for two, ensuring that a cozy snuggle and afternoon nap can be added to your list of vacation activities. Sip a pumpkin porter as the setting sun turns blue skies to fire or explore how closely a really good sangria resembles the fall favorite of mulled wine without the heat. You don’t need heated beverages to stay comfortable on Maui!
Swimming pools will also be popular, and although hot tubs aren’t as popular an amenity in our island homes, there are some private vacation homes that will offer this cozy amenity, as well as some condo retreats that provide community ones, ensuring that your every vacation desire will be met.
Bathrooms Can Be Cozy, Too
It’s true that under normal circumstances, bathrooms are not something we consider cozy spaces, but you just need to look a little closer to find all the cozy amenities within. Deep tubs with wooden trays that expand from side to side are where you can spend many hours, soaking, reading, and sipping your favorite chardonnay. Add a little soft music, a candle flickering softly, and in some of our more luxurious retreats, the stars twinkling above you, because yes, outdoor baths and showers are a thing on Maui! Soft and fluffy towels will wrap completely around your body without irritating skin that may be slightly sunburned, the sun shines brightly even on a fall day in Hawaii. The coziness of a leisurely bath after a long day of outdoor adventures can never be overrated.
What Is Cozy in the Kitchen?
Just like fall on Maui is found in spirit, cozy can be a vibe in our luxuriously appointed kitchens, offering top appliances, custom cabinets, and quite often windows over the sink that look out onto lovely island views. Cozy can be the moments spent working together to create a meal for the family, you stirring, she chopping, and the kids sampling all that is created. Cozy can be found in the joy discovered of sitting on a barstool with a cup of coffee while the spouse that doesn’t normally cook, prepares a meal for you both. Talking, reminiscing, laughing over family moments, all add to the cozy vibe of time spent in a kitchens that are often all sharp angles and hard surfaces!
