π Download our Free Guide: 'The 3 Paths to Maui' π
What does it mean to Retire WITH Maui, not just visit it?
A full move. A second home. Or a vacation rental that covers its own costs. Three real paths, and most couples don't know which one fits until someone walks them through it honestly.
We're Jonny, the Native Hawaiian, & Danny, the transplant from MN, of dreams2REALITY Hawaii. Using our Compass framework, we help lifestyle-driven couples nearing retirement find which version of Maui belongs in their future, then make it happen.
Three times a week on the Maui 'Hot List' Hulahan, our flagship show, we cover new listings and deals, legislation and rental rules, the true cost of ownership, and what daily life on the island actually looks like.
We'd rather give you an honest answer than a hopeful one.

Retire With Maui
π¨ BREAKING NEWS π¨
The channel formerly known as Maui 'Hot List' Hulahan is now Retire With Maui.
The hosts haven't changed. The three-times-a-week show hasn't changed. What's changed is that the name finally says out loud what we've actually been doing the whole time: helping couples figure out what it really takes to Retire With Maui in their lives, whether that's a full move, a second home, or a vacation rental that pays for itself.
If you've been following along, there's nothing to do here. The show keeps running exactly as it has. If you're new, Aloha and welcome π€
Wondering which of the three paths actually fits your situation? We built a free guide that breaks down the real costs and trade-offs of each one, without relying on mainland-agent guesswork.

Retire With Maui
Real talk: When Maui gets "too much," where do YOU go? ποΈ
Danny and I just dropped a video where a Maui agent gave her brutally honest take on Kauai vs. Maui, and let's say, it stirred the pot.
So we want to hear from YOU:
If you had to pick ONE other island to escape to when Maui gets 'intense,' which one and WHY?
Convince us in the comments. Best answer gets a shoutout in next week's video π€
Mahalo for riding with us! π

Aloha πΊ Happy Thursday!

Aloha πΊ
Most people say, "I'll just find the cheaper one."
This couple had the cheaper option right in front of them and still chose to pay $100K more.
Not because they had to. Because they understood something most buyers miss.
We're walking through the real story, plus what it reveals about the Maui market right now (hint: 75% of agents haven't closed a deal in two years, and that's actually good news for smart buyers).
π¬ Watch it here β Why This Couple Paid $100K More And Made the Right Callπ‘
Deal of the Week is in there, too: a 2-bed + loft at $799K that's worth a serious look.
Drop a comment: Would you have paid the extra $100K for a remodeled condo with a better view? π
Mahalo for watching, Jonny & Danny π

Retire With Maui
πΊ Saturday thought for you...
Most people spend decades visiting Maui. Dreaming about it. Saving for it. Telling themselves "someday."
Then something shifts.
Maybe it's a health scare. A retirement date finally circling on the calendar. Or, like a lot of folks we talk to, it's the third trip back and the flight home that just felt wrong.
That's the moment we built this channel for.
This week we dropped a couple of videos worth your Saturday quiet time:
π The Airbnb collapse is quietly creating one of the better buyer windows we've seen, especially for lifestyle buyers who aren't trying to run a rental empire. If you've been watching the market, now may be a good time to look again.
π And if you're in escrow (or thinking about it), the Spectrum situation is one of those Maui-specific gotchas that almost nobody warns you about. We covered it. Don't skip it.
