This is our 3rd stay at this wonderful condo. It has every convenience one could possibly want or need. The view of the ocean from the lanai is spectacular! The covered parking is great, you never need to get into a steaming hot car! The beds are super comfy! The kitchen is so well equipped, its a pleasure to fix dinner and relax and watch TV on the big screen. I guess you can tell, I LOVE THIS CONDO! And also, the owner of this condo is the nicest person to work with!

This rental is tastefully and well equiped. We enjoyed cooking in kitchen, on grills in pool area, and eating on outdoor porch outside the living room. . While on the porch, we could see whales off in the distance. Being on the 5th floor afforded better views than units at lower levels. Although the beach is acrossed the street (S. Kihei), it was easy to walk to the beach and park. Sleeping was comfortable. There is some noise from street and neighbors. We enjoyed listening to the Francolin's (a type of ground bird) in the vacant lots to the north. The location is good for getting to Wailea and Big Beach. Driving to West Maui was also easy (especially using the highway to the northeast of S. Kihei.) Grocery stores were convenient, and we found a fish market (Eskimo Pie) not too far north. Instructions for using the condo were clear. Thanks for the use of your condo.

What a beautiful place you live in. This was my firs trip but certinly not my last. The Condo was perfect. Very clean and well stocked with essentials. Everything you need is at your finger tips. The view is wonderful and not to mention a short walk to the beach and shopping. Rebecca was very helpful. From infomation on the table to anything else you might need. I would recommend this condo to all my friends. Can't wait to go back. It's like a little slice of paradise there. Thanks again for everything.

The condo was just perfect for us. It has two completely separate bedroom/full bathrooms so that everyone has there own space. It was clean and beautifully decorated. The sheets, towels, pots/pans and everything else in the condo were top of the line, giving you the feel of an expensive hotel room. The view from the lanai of the ocean is beautiful. Rebecca was immediately available for issues via cell phone, even though she was in Italy at the time, and called to follow up and make sure everything was okay. This is a really great location across the street from 3 great park/beaches.

My husband and I stayed here with our 12 & 10 year old boys. My 12 year old's first response when we walked in the suite was "Mom you rented us such a great place!" We were so impressed with the quality of everything in this condo. It was like staying in a luxury suite. It is so obvious that Rebecca really cares about this place. Beautiful new furnature, quality linens, spacious and so very clean. Everything we needed was there. The owner was very helpful and kind. We enjoyed the view every morning, and even saw whales. The pool and BBQ area is a very enjoyable spot to have dinnner and drinks and is very quiet, and clean. Thank you for renting us such a great place for our first trip to Maui.

What can I add? Rebecca's place is luxurious and located in a great spot. We shared with another couple and had lots of room to ourselves because of the great layout with bedrooms on each side of the living area. The next time we are going to Maui we will certainly make plans to stay again at Rebecca's. This was our first experience with VRBO and it turned out great. I would have to say that we were very pleased with how things were handled and everything was even better than advertised!

This condo was so comfortable. All the amenities needed were provided. Even down to a cooler and chairs to take a lunch to the beach! It was so nice to have a quiet place to relax and enjoy the outstanding view. The condo was clean and fresh and was furnished to feel like home. We would highly recommend it to others! We will be back again sometime soon!

This was our first condo/VRBO experience ever and we couldn't be more pleased with our decision to stay here. We were a family of four and the unit was more than roomy to accommodate all of us for almost two weeks. The condo was impeccably clean and nicely stocked with all of the essentials. The listing description was completely accurate Only thing, being that I cook for a living, I would have followed through and brought cooking spices. The Maui Swap Meet is a must for fruits and vegetables and some spices! The BBQ and pool area were clean and organized. We even enjoyed a few meals down there while the kids swam in the evening. The building was in the midst of exterior painting at the time we visited and that distracted from some privacy and peacefulness with construction sound, but we were compensated for the inconvenience. That was unexpected and appreciated! The owners Rebecca and Jeff were always quick to respond back to my plethora of questions and emails. They were great to work with and we will definitely be planning on returning to their condo in the future. Everything about this rental was awesome from the great views, location to many great beaches, stores, restaurants, and rental companies. I highly recommend the Kinaole food truck parked by the WorldMark. Probably two of the best meals we had during our visit outside of cooking at the condo. Thank you to Jeff and Rebecca for sharing your condo with our family. By the way, I loved the master shower and all new kitchen appliances! Great job on the remodel. We really enjoyed our stay there. I would highly recommend this property.

As you pull up to Haleakala Shores, you are met with some trepidation. The exterior of the building in somewhat dated. However, once you unlock the door to this condo, you are greeted with freshness and amenities which confirm that you have made the right decision to stay here. The view from the master bedroom and the lanai greet you every morning and your soul is refreshed. This condo is centrally located and close to all the sights and sounds of Maui. I couldn't ask for more in a condo and our stay was so enjoyable that there is no doubt in my mind that we will return to Maui and stay at this condo. If you are looking for comfort in an upscale accommodation, then this is the condo for you. I cannot say enough nice things about this place. I can hardly wait to return.

Owner response: Aloha Retoro (Where did you get this name?). WOW! Thank you for an awesome review. You made my day! This tells me that the remodel(s) in the condo are worth it and the TLC I've given to my condo is appreciated and welcomed. Take care. I look forward to having you stay in the condo on your next vacation to Maui. It will look a lot different as it is going through another remodel June 6-July 10, 2011. Aloha, Rebecca

Wow, where to start? This was our first time staying at an owner rental property and we could not have chosen a better place to start. Rebecca's condo is exactly what she says it is and much more! This condo has great views from the lanai at any time of the day, but fantastic in the AM and Sunset. With two large bedrooms and each bedroom having their own bathroom, a full kitchen, dinning area and large living room with a large flat screen TV was just what we were looking for. And if needed, a queen size pull out bed in the living room. The condo also has a dedicated parking spot, large clean pool and best of all right across the street from a fantastic beach where we went every day, and only 5-10 min walk from door to beach. If needed the condo also has beach items available for use included in the cost of your stay. During our stay we ate in a couple of times as the kitchen is fully equipped, but also enjoyed the local restaurants that were only a short walk from the condo. In short, you can’t go wrong with this condo, and we are already talking about another trip to Maui and Rebecca Condo!

What a delight! Lovely view, nice lanai, great residence! Our 8th trip here; first stay with you. We have found our home here with you! Snorkeled every morning near the reef between Kam II & III. We swam with the turtles near Mokkopi beach. We enjoyed simple but good restaurants: Ocens in Kihei, Pita Paradise and the Kihei Coffee. We ziplined, went wine tasting, and went to Lahina. What a trip! Thanks again.

Aloha Rebecca and Jeff. Our alone trip to Maui for a week turned into our trip with my parents - their first time to Maui and our 3rd. Your condo fit the 4 of us perfectly and was very roomy and comfortable - everything we needed we found! This was our 1st time staying in Kihei as we usually stay in Napili. We really enjoyed this side of the island and all its beauty.l We hit all 3 Kamole beaches, Wailea, Makena, and Big Beach. Lots of turtles at Makena!! We went up country on day and visited all the towns and winery. The weather was fantastic! We will definitely be back as soon as we can!

Review Submitted 05/17/10

This light and airy 2 bedroom condo was such a nice place to stay. It had all the in house ammenties, with plenty of kitchen space, living space, and bedrooms/bathrooms space. Our lanai had an ocean view and we used that for all our meals at the condo. This condo is within walking distance to eating, shopping, and beach access. The only draw back is that it is on a noisy street and really only affected 1 (light sleeper) in our party of 4. We would recommend and also return! Tim & Kathy Prineville, OR

Dearest Rebecca and Jeff. Thanks so much for the use of your lovely condo. We loved the lanai - first thing in the morning and at dinner. The view alone made our stay very special. We also loved the spaciousness of the condo and all the comforts you put thought into, especially in the kitchen. Everything we needed was there. We went whale watching I must say it was one of the best highlights that I've experienced in my lifetime! You are so lucky to be able to see these magnificent creatures every year. All the best to both of you.

Rebecca and Jeff's beautifully maintained condo is a short walk to your choice of beautiful beaches and it's located close to restaurants (one of our favorites, Cafe Olei) and shops. We had the comforts of home, with a very well stocked kitchen. The covered lanai was our favorite feature, where we could watch the gorgeous sunsets and the magnificent whales. This is a very quiet building, with meticulously kept gardens and pool area. It was a pleasure meeting the owner's. The whole experience was a positive one for us. Thanks Rebecca and Jeff.

We are a family of 4 and we love to travel but are always budget conscious. This place was beautiful, it is in the perfect location... literally a block from a great beach, the furnishings and layout were better than expected, and the full kitchen made it easy and convenient to save money by preparing our own meals. We had a great view of Haleakala and the ocean, we could even see whales breaching from the lanai. The kids thought this was their best vacation ever! We definitely want to come back next year.

In essence, our vacation began when I located your listing on vrbo months before our arrival to Maui. After booking our dates with you, I frequently went back to the website and looked at the pictures of your condo, imagining sitting on the lanai and enjoying the beautiful view. After all that dreaming ahead of time, one might think seeing "the real thing" would be a let down - Not so!!! Your condo is by far the best location at Haleakala Shores. The view is spectacular. The extra window over the bed in the Master Bedroom gave an additional view of the ocean. Your beautiful artwork, well equipped kitchen and comfortable furniture made our stay enjoyable. As a former Maui resident, it was a pleasure having our friends visit since it truly felt like our home. Mahalo

Another great vacation in Maui and this rental property is what takes a vacation from good to great! We have stayed at this property a few times and each time it feels like going home to Maui. The condo is very well layed out, well appointed with furniture, kitchen is very well equipped and "very clean"! Unfortunately this property is so nice that it is becoming harder and harder to get a booking, but I think that says a lot about the place and location. We always look forward to staying here. My brother and wife have also discovered this location and also stay here very regularly. Great place, great location and simply put....just all around nice!

Dear Rebecca, Thank you, again, for the use of your very special condo. We have stayed at this complex on and off for the past 15 yrs. The last 2 years, for each of 5wks plus, in your spotless Unit. All is superb and has spoiled us for other units. The ocean view from the lanai is wonderful...whales galore!! Everything we could possibly need or want and then some is in this Unit. This year I have been quite disabled so specifically needed and am appreciative of the quality beds, seat and handicapped equipped shower. You and Jeff are wonderful people and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Kindest regards, Geri and Don (Jan 3 to Feb 10, 2010)

Two couples stayed here. We were more than pleased with the property. Owner responded to our queries immediately, everything was clean, kitchen was fully equiped for people like us who really like to cook,lots of towels, great in-house washer/dryer. Big and roomy, we were never in each other's way. Aside from traffic sounds, the place is very quiet - more adult oriented. I would like to see more recycling capability but that's an initiative the state would have to bring in, and with all the tourism, I strongly advise the state to enact strict recycling laws. We four are from British Columbia, Canada, where recycling is a way of life and has been for many years. I would recommend this property to friends.
