Todd, We had a fabulous time staying at your lovely condo on Maui. The location of the condo was excellent, and many things we couldn't bring (like beach chairs and towels) were provided! The bed and bedding were especially comfortable. The view, of course, was enchanting. Mahalo!

Owner response:Liz, All I can say is "What a DELIGHTFUL guest you were!!" Thank you for taking such good care of my Maui Paradise - let's make it a regular thing!! Glad you enjoyed the bedding - just invested several thousand dollars upgrading everything! Mahalo, Todd

My husband and I have visited Maui for the past 25+ years. The last 15 visits have been to Maui Kamaole, so we have stayed in lots of condos. This was our first stay at Todd's condo, but will not be our last. We were there for almost 4 weeks. It's hard to know where to begin describing the wonderful visit we had in Todd's Maui Paradise, so I'll begin with the parking space! This is the best parking space in the entire complex!! It is literally only steps away from the front door. When you are carrying luggage, groceries and beach stuff in and out, you will understand what I mean!!. Then you walk into a beautifully decorated condo!! Everything is first class. Comfortable bed with beautiful linens, thirsty, thick towels, fantastic art work (I want that doggy picture) and a FULL size washer and dryer. Everything is clean, neat and LABELED!!! I loved the tile floors,,,so clean, and the lovely new area rugs. Then, there's the newly remodeled bathrooms...WOW!! The nicest ones I have ever seen in a condo, and there really is room enough for two in the shower!!! Another first for us was that Todd actually gives you a closet in the living room that will hold your empty luggage...no more trying to hide it behind doors and under the bed!! The kitchen is especially neat, clean and well equipped with new, top of the line cookware and, again, everything is LABELED. There is a nice selection of books if you did not bring enough books with you, and lots of DVD's...if you prefer to watch TV over sitting on the Lanai and looking at the beautiful view from there...it is an awesome view. Todd has provided a wonderful picnic basket, nice, thick beach towels and great beach chairs and umbrellas. Everything you need to sit on the beach everyday!!! He even has blankets to go watch sunrise from the volcano. Honestly, we've done that and really prefer sunset...but you might still need the blankets even for sunset. It's the most amazing sunset you will ever see. There are many, many great places to eat within walking distance and Todd has menu's and his recommendations all neatly bound together in a notebook...it's very handy!! In my opinion, Todd has gone the extra mile for his guests; he is easy to communicate with and a real nice host. You won't regret your stay...you will want to live there!! Thanks, Todd, for sharing your piece of paradise!! Hope to be there again real soon!! Gail

Owner response:My only regret is that I never got up early enough to call in to your radio show when you were broadcasting from my condo!! I'll hope to host you and O'Neil in Maui (or NYC) again soon!!

Todd's Maui Kamaole abode will make you homesick! You'll want this for your home year around and be heartsick when you board that plane back to the mainland. What a premier experience. Every amenity is within your reach and the aestectics of this slice of paradise go far beyond the 5-star designer bath rooms, bedroom, kitchen, dining and living room. The lanai will become your escape, with palm tree swept views of the ocean. We could cook a gourmet meal with local ingredients then sit outside to watch the sun set on the water and the painted sky over the western mountains. As a yearly visitor to Hawaii, this was a breathtaking experience. Staying at Maui Kamaole in this gorgeous unit was better than staying at a resort. Every morning I could walk to my choice of breakfast haunts. What was unique this visit? Having the snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, coolers and more in my own closet ensured that I went to a different beach every day instead of sitting in the same chair at the same resort's pool or sand. I saw more of Maui than I had ever experienced. Going to the local markets for fresh caught fish, upland veggies or organic beef enhanced my dining experience. This palatial property is so close and convenient to shopping, restaurants and nightlife. I felt centrally located to all the best Maui has to offer. If you like to pamper yourself...this unit is the place! Mahalo!

Owner response:WOW! Should I raise my rates?? Just Kidding! Thank you Victoria for the rave! We'll see you next Christmas!

Aloha Todd, Your home was beautiful and the most perfect way to spend our honeymoon. Thanks so much for having all the beach equipment available that was a huge help. The kitchen amenities were just enough to make us feel like we were at home. Looking forward to coming back to visit again.

Designer Beauty and Comfort in Maui

Knowing you for as long as I have, Todd, I was pleased but not surprised at the beauty of your condo's furnishings and design. However its spaciousness, fabulous view and close proximity to a beautiful beach are even more impressive than I had anticipated. What a gorgeous and well-located place to spend quality time on Maui! I will definitely return.

Owner response:I am ESPECIALLY proud of this review, as the reviewer is the owner of a guest services company in Hawaii and I have stayed at two SPECTACULAR B & B's he has owned in the past!

Home Away From Home in Beautiful Maui.

My wife and I had a magical trip to Maui in early June 2010, and spent a week in Todd's nicely appointed condo at Maui Kamaole. Todd was extremely helpful prior to our trip and provided guidance and info on nearby restaurants, bars, etc. The condo itself has been recently renovated and comes equipped with all provisions you might need for the week; beach chairs and towels, snorkeling gear, picnic basket, etc. The lanai offers fantastic views of West Maui and evening sunsets. The Kamaole complex is well taken care of and conveniently located across from Kam III beach between Kihei and Wailea. Overall, we would rate this condo very highly; we had the holiday of our lives and will definitely be back!!!

Owner response:Thanks David!! I'm glad to have more NYer's in Maui!!

A Perfect Holiday

Date of Stay: 04/08/10 Review Submitted: 07/17/10

Each morning as we walked out of the bedroom, we were greeted afresh by a spectacular scene of the ocean with palm trees swaying in the breeze. This was the best part of Todd's condo - the amazing view, whether having breakfast on the lanai or watching the sun set in the evening. The condo is just as Todd describes - very tastefully decorated, comfortable bedding and the extras like coolers and beach chairs were great for the many beaches we visited and the tours around the island. We love the Kihei area - we think it has the best weather and there are lots of shops and restaurants just down the street. The Maui Kamaole resort is lush with flowering bushes and exotic trees and Todd's condo is close to the heated pool. This is the second time we have chosen this resort and would definitely return here again.A few highlights of this trip included: whale watching, checking out the art in Lahaina, wine and cheese at sunset on Kam.III Beach, walking the boardwalk in Wailea (great start to the morning), breakfast at Charley's in Paia, dinners at Spago's and Ruth's Chris, sunrise at Haleakala, upcountry tour ( horseradish goat cheese from Surfing Goat Dairy is great on steak), and so many beaches - Big Beach, Wailea, Ulua, Kaanapali, Fleming and of course the Kamaole Beaches.

Owner response:Karen - thank you SO much for this kind review! I will be happy to welcome you & yours back for another month long stay whenever you like! You are the kind of guests I wish I could always have: sweet, considerate and genuine. Mahalo

I wrote a review on here several months ago (we were there in December '09), but for some reason the review never got published. This place is everything Todd describes and more!!! Suffice it to say this place is wonderful. Big, comfy bed, all the comforts at home, new, clean, beautiful, convenient. Thanks again Todd Susan and I had the most wonderful time and look forward to returning soon.

Owner response:Thanks Nick! You are welcome back ANYTIME!! Aloha!

Hey Todd, we just got back yesterday and I just wanted to tell you how perfect it was. The condo was as nice as any hotel room I've stayed in. Just having those trade winds come every day was the real blessing. When we opened the Lanai doors for the first time it was heaven. Your condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. Every day the weather was perfect, so we really had no complaints at all. Todd, it was everything you said, I'd recommend it highly, and we'd love to come back. Thanks again Todd. Shel

Hi Todd We had a great time at your condo in Maui! Got back last night. Maui Kama'ole is in a great central location. We especially enjoyed walking the trail from the boat landing down Keawakapu every morning. What a beautiful beach! And we really appreciated the amenities you provided: snorkel gear, beach umbrella, etc. Thanks for maintaining such a lovely and comfortable place to stay! Best, Sara + Gabe Calderon

The bathrooms are beautiful and we loved the floors throughout, the ceiling fans and the comfy bed. This place definitely exceeded our expectations, and we can't wait to return!!" *Allison and Jason purchased their stay in my condo at a fundraiser for NYU School of Law organized by one of my dearest friends, Ms. Marsha Metrinko. All proceeds went to support the NYU School of Law. I was happy to donate this to Marsha's cause as she has supported SOOOO many of my fundraising efforts through the years.

"HOw wonderful to spend three amazing weeks in paradise in such a great condominium! Your home is well equipped - and with so many little touches like the beach chairs and towels, the beach and picinic coolers and the plastic (outside) wine glasses and wine cooler that we could take to the shore for sunset! Our grandchildren gave us this wonderful trip for our Golden Anniversary (the 50 years)and told us we should go to other islands (as well) - but we both agreed that staying here was more than we had hoped for, so neither of us wanted to leave. Thanks you so much for arranging for us to get 'your' table at Spago in the Four Seasons, by the way, it was heaven! With much gratitude - Hattie and Eli"
