Amazing place to stay when visiting Maui!

I have stayed here several times over the past years and I would highly recommend it (including my family and friends) for anyone looking for a vacation of a lifetime. Every time we go to Maui, we stay here and our experiences have always been excellent and beyond our expectation! The last was to celebrate our anniversary in December. We felt like royalty, sitting on our private veranda enjoying the amazing view and enjoying evening sunset walks on the beach. The villa inside is beautifully decorated (more beautiful than a picture can show you!) including all the amenities you could possibly ever need. Cannot say enough about the Concierge, front desk and grounds personnel. They are amazing. We never wanted for anything...all you have to do is ask and most of the time they are checking in to make sure you are ok and that you don't need anything. The concierge booked us great excursions around the Island, as well as reservations at some wonderful restaurants nearby. I really appreciate this service because it totally alleviates any of the worries of planning what's next and allowed us to just enjoy our vacation and beautiful Maui. On those days we just wanted to relax on the beach, private lounge chairs with umbrellas and towels would be setup and I appreciate the fresh water with lemon always available. Not only do I love this property, but owners are the best I have ever worked with. They are always very helpful in answering questions or concerns and immediately responding, again allowing us to enjoy our vacation and not worrying about anything else. I guess you will never know what your are missing if you don't stay here...so I highly recommend that you find out and definitely book this villa!!! You will not be disappointed!

Our suite at the Wailea Beach Villas was more elegant than our suite at the Ritz in Grand Cayman. The rooms were beautifully furnished, the beds were so comfortable, and the kitchen was fantastic! Situated at the top of the property, our balcony overlooked the gorgeous grounds and the ocean beyond. Walking from our suite to the beach below was like taking a stroll through a well-manicured tropical park with an occasional swimming pool here and there. Once on the beach, we could sunbathe peacefully or walk to the neighboring resort hotels. Restaurants and shopping were also within easy walking distance. In all our dealings with the staff, they were always very friendly and helpful. When I go back to Maui, I won’t stay anywhere else.

First time to Maui

Guest: KC (Calgary)
Date of Stay: 11/19/11 Review Submitted: 01/19/12

The Ireland Escape was the perfect escape and a total 5 star vacation. We do a lot of traveling and while this was our first time to Maui we have gone on many nice holidays. THIS was by far the nicest and most beautiful place we have ever had the pleasure to stay. Everything we needed and more. I love to cook and the kitchen was such a joy to use - all the dishes and tools a person could need. We loved sitting on the lanai enjoying the views and were so grateful to be so close to the children's pool, gym, parking and lobby - everything was convenient and above par. I personally loved the decor in the unit (even better than that of our friends who stayed close by in the same complex) these owners have great taste! You will not be disappointed.

Owner response:Thanks so much. I hope you make it back to Maui soon.

My Favorite Maui Stay

Guest: lisa (santa rosa, ca)
Date of Stay: 11/04/11 Review Submitted: 01/25/12

Not a big Maui fan before this trip but this place turned me around on that! Wonderful home, gave me a much nicer feel / atmosphere than a hotel but with all the amenities. Lovely beach views, walk to fab restaurants, shopping, etc. Great floor plan with open kitchen, lots of entertaining space and a super step out porch. We had quite a crowd for dinner one night and was very comfortable. The home is beautifully appointed and we lacked for absoltuely nothing. Could not have been better and I can't wait to come back!

Best Ever Hawaiian vacation

Guest: lisa (santa rosa, ca)
Date of Stay: 11/04/11 Review Submitted: 01/25/12

I've been to Hawaii numerous times and stayed in private homes, condo suites, 5* hotels, etc. But the best holiday I ever had there was at the GORGEOUS ocean view condo here. Much more personal (and affordable) than a top hotel, much more fun to party and enjoy with our friends. The home was beautifully decorated and had every possible creature comfort. To be honest, I was less than thrilled with Maui before this trip but I had so much fun, walking to shopping, dining, the beach, the pool... great stay.

Birthday Celebration Vacation

Guest: B&G (Bridgewater, NJ)
Date of Stay: 10/16/10 Review Submitted: 11/01/10

Jeri: We just wanted to tell you how much we loved staying in the Ireland Escape. From the moment we entered, we felt like we were in a 5 star hotel; the luxurious bedding, the fruit basket to greet us, the elegant setting, every appliance we could think of including a wonderful wine opener:) You thought of everything, fans, beach toys, coffee, tea, even splenda. The only problem we had was not wanting to leave the lanai. We had a great birthday celebration for the husbands. They played golf most days while the ladies relaxed and shopped. The spa at the Grand Wailea was fabulous. Good specials and they accepted spa finder gift certificates. Loved shopping and grabbing lunch at the shops next store. Had a wonderful dinner at Sorrento's on the Beach, would highly recommend it. BTW what a great closet set up in the MB, would love to import that to NJ. The concierge staff also was extremely helpful. Thanks for taking our call when we couldn't figure out the tv and and the gas grill. Have already recommended your place to others in our travels and if we can get back to Maui hope you will have availability. Mahalo, Mahalo, Mahalo. Bill & Gail Vornehm, Bob & Martha Westphal, NJ

We stayed in the Ireland Escape for 3 weeks in May 2010. The villa is absolutely beautiful and is perfectly located in Wailea. From the elegant four-poster king bed with luxurious bedding in the master suite to the Mikasa dinnerware and a full set of stainless-steel cookware in the gourmet kitchen and the flat-screen TV and great sound system in the great room, the villa is stocked with every high-quality amenity you might desire. We loved the serenity of breakfast on the lanai while gazing out upon the ocean with Molokini in the distance. (Although the owner’s description of the oceanview is modest: “…a glimpse…when the palm fronds blow.” We were delighted to enjoy the oceanview corridor to Molokini easily!) Snorkeling was so easy, either from Wailea beach or from the many great sites along the coast in Makena. The convenience of the car just steps away in the garage made carrying the gear a breeze. We are already looking forward to a return visit to the Ireland Escape and HIGHLY recommend the villa! Thank you, Jeri!

We absolutely loved your unit. It was, by far, the best accommodation we have had the pleasure of living in, in our many trips to the islands! We will definitely be back to the Ireland Escape (pending availability of course!) Our daughter LOVED the keiki pool, and we loved how close it was to the unit—and the short walk to the beach was beautiful and a welcome bit of exercise for all of us! We whole-heartedly recommend your unit, and your management of the unit, to anyone that is lucky enough to be in Wailea!

Owner response:We love sharing our island home...it is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places on earth!

Our family loved the Ireland Escape at the Wailea Beach Villas. It is a beautiful, large condo with everything you could need while there. Jeri is awesome to work with, answering any questions and giving great tips. The beds were heaven after days of snorkeling, boogie boarding, and swimming. Thanks so much for everything Jeri, we really appreciate you and your beautiful home!

Jeri Thanks for allowing us to rent penthouse K107 - we went our parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. It is an amazing unit and the property has with beautifully maintained grounds. We all enjoyed the short stroll down to the magnificent beach - which is the most fun at about 4PM to sunset. The gift basket and local fruit were nice touches and we took advantage of the many tips you provided including the ahi poi pounder at Nicks Fishmarket- what a treat. K107 offers the perks of a hotel/resort without the pretense and all the the benefits of a condo.

Hi Jeri, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know what a wonderful time we had during our stay last week. Your property and penthouse are just incredible and we definitely were not ready to come home. The week went way to fast, I could have stared at the view for at least another week. Thanks for sharing it with us, we can't wait to go back! Sue D. & Family

Our vacation in Maui was absolutely wonderful because of your condo. Top of our list was the location, close to restaurants, shopping, and golf. It had all of the comforts of home and it provided lots of space for the four of us, we certainly weren’t ready to leave after 2 weeks. It was great to have the concierge service available and the chair and umbrella set up for us at the beach whenever we wanted. We will definitely be coming back. Thanks again, Shelley, Joe, Lori and Susan

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in K107. With all the thought that was put into this place - from all the amenities to the decor - we truly felt it was our home away from home. We look forward to coming back next year and spreading the word to our family and friends once we get home.

Wow! K107 is a slice of heaven! Usually our family reserves joining hotel rooms - never again. Your penthouse offers a family every possible amenity. The sleeping arrangements were extremely comfortable, including the extra foldout bed for my youngest daughter. We especially enjoyed the beautiful lanai, where we ate all of cour meals. Thank you so much for making our vacation so memorable! We look forward to returning in the future.

Jeri, We enjoyed our stay at K107! you thought of everything. Small things like having a supply of spices, tea & coffee when we arrived was great. Our kids enjoyed all the TV channels in the evening and first thing in the morning. We enjoyed eating our meals outon the lanai and spending time at the pool. The short walk to Wailea Beach for snorkeling was handy.

We really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful pristine apartment. We loved the balcony and enjoyed grilling in the evening. Your kitchen is stocked with everything we could possibly need, as is the whole home. Our teenagers loved the wireless internet access and the TVs. I also found your web listing very useful and accurate before our trip. Thank you for all the though that you have obviously put into making this the perfect vacation home. We appreciated everything.
