Jackie and Greg, What an amazing time we had. Your place is phenomenal...and so user friendly!!! From the flat screen TV's, ipod player/charger, Tempur-pedic beds, spacious master bathroom and shower to the great kitchen and gorgeous granite....your place is top of the line. The decor was beautiful yet relaxing and comfortable. You really put a lot of TLC into your condo and we were so lucky to be able to experience it....can't wait to return!! Thanks for the memories. Tony O'Dell

Our stay in Maui

Guest: Bossman (Deerfield, IL)
Date of Stay: 03/23/11 Review Submitted: 04/01/11

Thank you Jackie for a wonderful stay in Maui. The condo in Wailea is perfect for anyone who wants to stay on the West side of the island. We were so busy exploring the island that we never used the pool, but were very happy every night to come home the the condo. It was a perfect size for our family. Just great!

Owner response:Thank you so much for the lovely review. Although it feels like we are on the opposite side of the Island from Hana, Wailea is actually on the South side of Maui. The housekeeper loved the homemade sauce you left for her. Mahalo. Please keep is mind for your return visit. Aloha, Jackie & Greg

First Time Visitors to Maui (FEB 2011)

Mahalo Walker Family for making our first visit to Maui more wonderful than we could have ever imagined. Your condo truly is a home away from home and you have thought of every small detail. The beach chairs and bogey boards were used tirelessly every day! Your kitchen is amazing and the beds are super comfortable! We will certainly book your condo again and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in visiting Maui. Kihei and Lahaina are true 'gems' for finding everything you need (Foodland has a great selection of items and their bakery was good). The Road to Hana was an incredible experience that cannot be described in words.......thank god for pictures. I'd recommend driving back into Wailea continuing on HWY 31 past Hana, as that part of the road past Hana was the most spectacular. My experience seeing the "other side" of the Haleakala Crater and ranchlands with the old lava fields. The whale watching (Bullfrogs' boat called the Quicksilver; their Crew were very knowledgeable about whales and friendly) was unforgettable, We saw so many new baby whales with their mothers learning various behaviors and strenghtening their bodies with tail slaps & breeches! The surfing lessons from Maui Wave Riders was very professional and them remembering everybodies' names made it very personal too........we purchased the entire disk containing all the photos their photographer took as it was too difficult to pick just a few. Oh we also checked out the Large Outdoor Market at Kahului on SATURDAYS and is highly recommended for fresh produce and incredible local crafts. It starts at 7-8 am til 1pm and you really do need all that time to see it all. Nipili Bay and Kapalua Bay were nice as far as sandy beaches go, but the snorkelling there was disappointing. We found the best site to snorkel with the most abundant kinds of fish was Ahihi Kina' u Natural Area Reserve in Makena........so good we went there twice! The black lava sand was beautiful. Sunsets at Kamo'ole Beach Park II were the best and most picturesque I've seen. What more can I say? We are already planning our return trip to Maui and your beautiful condo.

Owner response:Aloha, It sounds like you really made the most out of your Maui Holiday! Good for you. Next time, you will find even more hidden treasures and possibly, even some time to do "nothing." I will be waiting to hear from you. Aloha, Jackie

This condominium is located in a well maintained complex in Wailea, the most beautiful resort area of Maui. It is very close (within walking distance) to beaches, restaurants and an upscale shopping mall. The condo is very tastefully furnished, with incredibly comfortable beds, a flat screen television in every room (only our teenager turned hers on, though), a very functional kitchen, with thick granite counters and a lanai which offers views of the golf course and the sea beyond. We hated to leave. I cooked dinner for us about 2/3 of the time and really appreciated the fact that the knives are of high quality (Henckels) and that the kitchen is very well equipped, generally, for the home cook. There are thoughtful additions throughout for use of the condo's guests: beach shoes, comfortable beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler, beach toys, a book of information on what to do and where to eat in the area and on Maui and even scotch tape! The inclusion of the beach chairs for use of the guests was especially welcome for us, as they made our beach days much more comfortable. The outstanding local restaurants where we ate (and all are close by, no more than a five minute drive and most within walking distance) were Gannon's, Joe's Bar and Grill, Tommy Bahamas, Longhi's and Ferarro's (at the Four Seasons Hotel). However, the most memorable of our meals out were two lunches at Mama's Fish House, well worth the drive. When we come back to Maui, which we hope is soon, we will stay here again. Thank you Jackie and Greg!

Owner response:Aloha Sue, Thank you for the glowing review. It sounds as though you took full advantage of all the condo, and the Island of Maui, have to offer. It is our intention to have all of our guests feel comfortable and at home. The knives are new (at the request of a guest who said it was time for new ones). I am happy to hear they are working out. We are here when you are ready to return. In fact, your review makes ME want to go back even sooner than our planned trip. Happy New Year! Jackie

A Wonderful Condo Experience

Guest: Linda and Andy (Denver,CO)
Date of Stay: 10/08/10 Review Submitted: 10/30/10

This is an absolutely terrific condo rental. From my very first contact with Jackie Walker I knew (or more accurately, had a gut feeling) that I was dealing with someone who truly understood the desires and needs of a the Maui Vacationer. My nail biting ended the minute we entered the condo. It is beautifully and fully furnished with everything you could possibly want or need - whether you're 5yrs or 105 yrs. .-okay, there is a flight of stairs up into the unit but that just means better views and nobody walking around above you. The Wailea area is absolutely gorgeous with stunning, iconic Hawaiian cove beaches as well as many terrific restaurant choices. A short drive north into Kihei offers a more funky Hawaiian vibe. Access to all the important sightseeing - Haleakala, Hana, etc. - is very easy. And it is all good.... Make your reservation and rest easy. You will love it.

Aloha Jackie, I just realized that I forgot to sign your guest book, but you know how things get busy with a little one running around. Our family had an amazing vacation in Maui, it was even more beautiful this time around, our daughter saw the ocean for the first time and loved the beach and we were able to do some site seeing and snorkeling that we didn't get to do on our last visit. We felt instantly at home in your condo, it had everything we needed and more. We could tell how you went out of your way, above and beyond to make it comfortable for everyone. I loved the kids room and all the extras for the kids; the playpen, stroller, stools, dishes/cutlery, books, videos, sand toys - it was perfect for our 20 month old. Your home away from home is just lovely thank you again for sharing it with us. We will most definitely be back again someday. Maholo! Carla, Graeme & Avery

Thank you, Greg and Jackie, for sharing your great condo. It was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed the extras you have provided, the comfortable beds, and the kids loved having separate TVs to watch. This was our first trip to Hawaii, and having a great place to stay made it easy to enjoy the sites and then come back to our home away from home to relax before the next busy day. Mahalo!

Greg & Jackie We really enjoyed our stay at your Condo. It is so nicely equipped and decorated. I really hope that I can return to visit again. A couple of maintenance items we became aware of that you should know about. First, the toilet in the front bedroom(twin bed), does not flush properly. Second, the CD player makes a lot of noise while the CD is playing. Also, one of the beach umbrellas was broken when we arrived. Thanks again for making the condo available. Mike Conway

Owner response:Aloha Mike, We actually went to the condo the first week of March and took care of the issues that you mentioned. Thank you for bringing them to our attention. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Jackie & Greg

Well appointed home in a beautiful location. Could not have asked for a better base to launch any Maui adventure. Fun at any speed for the whole family. The Island has its beauty but we were always happy to head "home" at the end of the day because of your many personal touches. We now have a home for our next trip to Maui.

Owner response:Aloha Schropp Ohana, We are happy to hear that you enjoyed all the extras we provide. Yes, it is always nice to have a comfy place to come home to at the end of the day. Let us know when you are ready to return to your "Maui home." Aloha, Jackie & Greg Walker
