Thanks Lisa, Your Condo was great! The location is just right, your recommendations in your check in package for restaurants were very good and the whole Kihei are is very nice. Our stay has made this a future vacation site for sure and your Condo has me looking for a place there of our own. (Ever think of selling Lisa? Keep me in mind! (0; )

This was our first trip to Maui and staying in Lisa's condo was great. The location is perfect; walking distance to beaches, restaurants and markets. It is a wonderful, casual area and the people are very friendly and helpful. The pool and barbecue area is wonderful. We spent the mornings on the beach and the afternoons sightseeing or at the pool. Highly recommend this condo for families.

This is my 3rd trip to Lisa's condo and I would highly recommend this unit. VERY clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything. Great views from both lanais, nice pool and BBQ area. Super close walking distance to the beach, Kihei cafe and the grocery stores. Quiet and not busy. Already watching the airfares for my next trip back!

This is the second time I have stayed at this condo on Maui, and this time I brought my parents! The condo is wonderful with everythingwe needed. Kitchen has all the necessary things to be able to make at home meals either on the stove or on the gril, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The two lanais were a perk, and we had many meals out on the front one watching the sunsets. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone! There is so much close by, from beaches and snorkeling, to shopping, to restaurants and more. I am a runner and loved to be able to find a variety of routes, most with stellar views. Plus, its pretty central and really not that far from any location on Maui! Highly recommend going to Kehei Cafe for breakfast at least once, stopping by the Saturday swap meet, local farmers markets for veggies and fruits, stopping by the local businesses such as 808 Clothing Company. I always try to support the local 'made in Hawaii" businesses when I am there. I can't wait to go back! Thanks Lisa!

After staying at the Shores of Maui I don't think i'll stay anywhere else in Maui. This condo has such a homey feel to it. I had two young children with me and I felt safe with them walking back and forth from the pool. Not like a big hotel where they could get lost in seconds. Both rooms are large and the beds are so comfy. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of beach toys/ chairs for everyone to use. This condo has the perfect location right across the street from the beach and walking distance from a 24 hour grocery store and nice restaurants (Kihei Cafe). The owner was so friendly and so easy to deal with. What you see in the pictures is definitely what you get :) a great place to stay!

I had an amazing stay at this condo! You can't beat the location, it's steps away from a beautiful beach, walking distance to the grocery store and all the shops and restaurants in Kihei! The back lanai is large and has a gorgeous view of the beach and pool and the front lanai is great for viewing Maui's breathtaking sunsets! The owner of this property is VERY easy to work with and she keeps the condo well stocked. From all the necessary kitchen utensils to anything you need to take to the beach! I will definitely book here again for my next Maui vacation....which is hopefully very SOON!! Mahalo!

Maui Condo

I highly recommend this Maui condo. The place was really lovely and homey! It had everything you could think of for a day at the beach and all the comforts of home. The pool and hot tub was great to come back to after a day of hiking. It was walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores, and a great little market place. We walked down to Three's Bar & Grill one night for happy hour and had some yummy Hawaiian Style pupus. We actually tried almost every pupu on the menu, they were 1/2 price and we were hungry. East Ocean Chinese was another good restaurant that we tried and we walked to Starbucks every morning. There is a great swimming beach right across the street from the condo. Every morning we would see paddle boarders, so it's great for that too! I will be sure to see if this one is available the next time I go to Maui and have recommended it to my family and friends as well. This was my first time booking a condo with a private owner rather than a corporation so I was a little apprehensive. Lisa was really easy to work with and helpful during the whole process. My deposit for the place was waiting for me when I returned home.

The condo is a two bedroom, two bath unit with two lanais. The unit was located for easy walking to Kehei restaurants, shops and beaches (even for my 68 year old husband). It's also an easy drive to Wailea (south), Lahaina and Kaanapali areas. Lisa and the other residents were very friendly and helpful with tips on restaurants and island activities to enjoy. Lisa has provided a very clean, well-maintained condo that is well equipped for cooking in as well as all the beach items you would want (boogie boards, towels, beach mats, ice chest, etc.) This is one of the best equipped condos we have stayed in, and I've been travelling to Hawaii for over 40 years! Even the beds were very comfortable. Charlie Young beach, and Kams 1,2, and 3 are right there for your enjoyment, but if you choose to venture out we would recommend Airport beach (north) for snorkeling, Wailea (south, and my personal favorite) or Kaanapali (north) beaches for lounging and swimming for all ages, and Makena beach (south, and my husband and son's favorite) for the more experienced swimmer/surfer/boogie boarder. There are many great restaurants to choose from, but we especially enjoyed breakfast at Five Palms in Kihei, lunch at Pupus in Kihei and Bubba Gumps in Lahaina, and dinner at the italian restaurant next to Foodland was excellent. You can shop for groceries at Safeway or Foodland, and both offer the discounted prices with just your home phone number. We highly recommend the morning snorkel trip on the Lani Kai out of Ma'alaea Harbor. To be honest, we didn't see as many fish as in years past, but the 5 hours on the water is very well spent. The crew is great, there's nothing like swimming and snorkeling off the boat at Molokini and Turtle Town, and plenty of food and beverages to enjoy (including beer and mai tai's). And if you're lucky, you may get to reel in a 25 pound ono like our son did! Mahalo Lisa for a very enjoyable stay. We'll be back!

Thanksgiving Vacation 2005 to 2010

For 6 years my friends and family have used Lisa's condominium for our Thanksgiving vacation. Lisa has done a great job over the past couple of years updating the paint, carpet and furnishings. More and more it has started to feel like a second home for us. The location is perfect in that the condo is located in central Kihei and right across the street from the water's edge. As a runner, I like that fact that I can access neighborhood streets that feel safe and be challenged by the terrain. Lisa has been a great owner/manager to do business with. The transactions are smooth and timely. I would strongly recommend this condo!

We fully recommend this condo. Lanai's both have ocean views and one is excellent for sunset dinners. The master bdrm. suite is private - 2nd bdrm. very comfortable for our 2 young adult sons. Kihei we found to be a great central location for day outings. We also recommend the farmers market for all your produce and local seafood. Barbecues at the condo are excellent and we enjoyed the pool/hot tub every day. We hope to return to this condo.

This was a perfect family vacation spot. Plenty of activities within walking distance. This unit is bright and airy. It is so well equipped we felt right at home. We loved the two private lanais. We can't wait to stay here again and we will tell our friends and family too. The Raigo Family Ashville, N.C.
