I would definitely do Maui. We took our son to Maui when he was 3 months old, then went again when he was 3 and our daughter was 5 months (that time with a nanny). . It's just soooo easy from California. I just don't see any reason to over think it - Maui's great and easy, so great choice.

Any of the Hawaiian islands (we love them all) - should fit your "Babymoon" - as well as here in San Diego - most days in the "winter".

You might also like Costa Rica, or Cabo San Lucas - at the tip of Baja.

Agree with Maui, much shorter flight and no plane changes, easy for your baby to handle.

Really anywhere in Hawaii. Not exactly mainland medical available, but decent. Maui may have the largest choice of nice condos, along with restaurants. Stay south in winter for calmer ocean conditions.

If you can go n-o-w, before the Christmas crush, you'll find availability and nice prices. After that...lotsa luck. Check car rentals today.

Thank you all! Any ideas for great ways to find a good condo in Maui by the beach (we'd love a pool, if possible)?

What is your budget for lodging? How many bedrooms? When are you going(sometime before March, but when?)?

Without knowing any of the above, I will say that my favorite condos on Maui are the Makena Surf units. Great beachfront location. A three bedroom (you, your child and your nanny) will run you around between $700 to over $1000 a night. Actual beachfront on Maui is expensive. Try Wailea Elua too.

My favorite is Kaanapali Alii on Kaanapali Beach - also very expensive. There are choices ranging from beachfront to hillside, plain to fancy, less expensive to uber-expensive. What's your travel style (Motel 6? Marriott? Ritz-Carlton?) and nightly budget?
