Check with the cleaning staff, we got a boogie board and beach chair from ours at Bay Club, and left them with a family from Boston. We leave a tip and a note with any special requests on the mid week cleaning day, they left a fully stocked cart on the landing with a note for everyone to help themselves but don't mess up the cart. My wife liked the soap and products, she puts them out when we have guests at home. All the building and ground staff are very friendly and helpful there, you can ask them for just about anything, we have moved rooms when extending our week with extra nights and they took care of moving our bags and food while we left for the day.

The concierge is more interested in signing you up for an update and holo holo card (you can get similar discounts from the coupon books). If you play golf there you have to use them for the owners discount rate.

Just curious: the prior 3 pages are all REQUESTS for stuff. Are people responding via PM, or is no one leaving anything?

That's a good question. I was wondering the same thing. I haven't gotten any PMs, but then when one is on a relaxful trip, maybe posting on TUG for things they are leaving behind aren't tops on the priority list.

My last trip to WKORV we rented from Maui Baby Rental and got two (2) Beach Chairs, one (1) Beach Umbrella, two (2) Boogie Boards and beach toys all for $75 for the week. They delivered and picked up directly at the lobby. Excellent service and I would highly recommend them.

http://www.babyrentalsmaui.com/maui-baby-equipment-rentals.php?cat=Rentals&subcat=Beach Rentals

There is another company doing the same thing that we may try the next time although we were very pleased with Maui Baby Rental. easytravelhi's prices seem to be slightly lower because they have a package deal for two chairs and an umbrella.

http://www.easytravelhi.com/Pages/default.aspx

In the past we purchased the chairs, umbrella and boogie boards from costco and ended up giving them away to any family we saw as we were leaving because the cost wouldn't have been worth it to check them in on our flight home. That was certainly more costly than renting. Several times we got lucky by getting leftover beach equipment from the bellman with a nice tip after he dropped off our luggage and groceries.

I don't know how often this swap has occurred and it is a nice option to have and now that I am a member on tug I will be sure to let anyone know if I have anything to leave behind, but I think I will be renting our beach equipment for the foreseeable future through either one of the vendors I have listed above. I have no affiliation with either business.

Still haven't found a good place to rent everything from on the Big Island and Kauai. The usual suspects like Snorkel Bobs and Boss Frogs usually rent the chairs and boogie boards but don't usually have umbrellas for rent.

Tugger comes through again!!!

Just scored a couple beach chairs that a tugger is leaving for us upon their departure. Thank you Nina!

On Kaui -Princeville, April 26

If anyone is in the area or somewhere we could stay en route from the airport, we would love to have 2 chairs to use. We will be at Princeville Westin for a week, starting April 26.

Yeah, but then how does this thread work? I assume everyone asking for stuff, if they get anything, should "pay it forward." If they are not getting anything, then this thread is not helpful.

It would seem that the only helpful posts would be offers of items, otherwise its just a long thread of requests.

Marriott Maui 4/28 2 beach chairs...

I agree... so, here I'm posting that I will have two beach chairs available 4/28 which will be a pay it forward from chairs being left for me by another Tugger.
If you would like them, send me a PM. I'll probably have some other items we leave behind and I'll try to post when I know what they will be.

Thanks.
