We booked a vacation at Maui Kamaole this past Christmas through Condominium Rentals Hawaii.
It was a perfect vacation in every way. We were also charged for our stay on November 1st. That is their policy for stays over the Christmas holiday period.
Not sure why silverfoxgeorge is grumbling. It is a very clearly stated policy.
I don't know about Island Sands or the other moves george had to experience but Maui Kamaole was great. It could be george liked the price of Island Sands but wanted a Maui Kamaole room (beer budget and a champagne taste perhaps?)
