February 2012 – Unit C618 - Kathy, We just got back from your lovely condo yesterday. I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for the gift basket--it was very thoughtful and I LOVE pineapple. Thanks so much for sharing your home. We hadn't been to Maui before but we are in love with it. We did so many fun things (well, hiking and going to the beach, but that's what we like) while we were there. Your condo was so centrally located and well-equipped... as soon as we thought "I wonder if there is a...?" we would look and there it would be. Also, the convenience of such a delightful beach right across the street was just wonderful. Before the end of our second day we were planning our next trip. But as I looked through your guest book a fear stole over me... you typically have tenants for the whole month of February! And indeed, I've just checked your calendar on Mauivision and the whole month of February 2013 is booked! :( However, I see that your company also manages C617 next door. Is it available?

My husband and I's flight was the day after we had an interstate move and 5 days after he defended his dissertation. As you can imagine, we were burned out! For our accommodations, I didn't want to worry about anything: I wanted a clean, well-maintained place with a great location that was not a hassle to book. If this is what you're looking for, you should contact Kathy to a book a VRBO! I, like other reviewers, was nervous about using VRBO; I initially thought it would be much more safe and comfortable using an online vendor. My experience with Kathy, however, felt much more secure and personal. I wrote her an email, and in less than 24 hours she called me back. It was so refreshing to do business with something that wasn't automated! She was very professional, answered all my questions, provided photos and a listing of the VRBO. What I also appreciate is that there were no hidden/surprise costs, she broke every single cent down so there was no surprise. The condo itself is VERY clean, with everything needed to cook meals, towels, television, and wireless. It was also tastefully decorated, and the bed was fairly comfortable. Highly recommended!

Owner response:Aloha Pia and Greg, Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to send a positive review. I appreciate it. I'm so glad we could help you two relax by providing you a condo to stay in unit C619. I hope to help you two again! Kathy

May 28, 2011 Dear Kathy McCartney at WeCare, Re: vrbo.com listing 15060 We recently stayed in Unit C619 for ten days at the end of May and I had to write you a customer satisfaction letter because our vacation was even better than we imagined! It was my first trip to Maui, and being a single mother of two teenagers, it can be pretty scary to book a trip on the VRBO. But you were terrific because you called me back , instead of emailing me and hearing your voice really reassured me. Then when you sent detailed pictures of the condo and provided lots of information about the area with so many helpful tips and suggestions that you gave me every confidence that we would get what we were paying for. In the end, we got much more, because the condo was so clean and it was fully equipped and when we had trouble with our internet, the person that takes care of the condo in Maui called right back and helped me fix it over the phone. The location of the condo Kihei Akahi is perfect, right across the street from Kamaole Beach 2 and within walking distance to Kamaole 1 and Kamaole 3, we were in the best part of Maui with no rain!! Thank you very much Kathy! I will be booking a trip again someday with you! Sincerely, Shelly-Vancouver BC

I couldn't get a flight home with everyone else. :( and :) I managed to get a one way back on the 31st for $150 - score! Do you have vacancy for one more night? If not...no worries. Just thought it was worth asking. Thanks again Kathy! Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Denise

January 2011 - Unit C618 - My daughter, my sister and I had a great girls' getaway at Kathy's condo C618 for 11 days in January. The location was perfect, right across from the beach, with views from our 6th floor lanai of both the sunrise over Haleakala and the sunset over the ocean! The condo is well-maintained and Kathy has provided all the comforts of home, including one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. I think this is one of the best values in Kihei and we will definitely return. - Pat P. Canada

February 2011 - Unit C618 - Aloha Kathy, We are enjoying our stay very much in your lovely condo, it is beautiful and stocked with everything we could ever think of needing - especially love the views! Sadly, the time is getting close to when we have to leave. I can't find the email we got from you if there's anything else we need to do other than start the dishwasher, the sheets in the washer and garbage out... Your art is lovely, is there somewhere on Maui it's displayed? Also, I'm going to check my work calendar for next Feb when we get home but if you could pencil us in to stay in C618 around the same time for 2 - 3 weeks? Mahalo! Ray and Sharon

March 2010 – Unit C616 - Hi Kathy, we are flying out late tomorrow. Is it possible to have a later check out? Whale season is at its peak. We are sitting on the lanai watching Kayakers observe a pod of whales right off shore. We went whale watching yesterday and it was amazing, the best 40 dollars spent. I will for sure be recommending this condo. It has everything you need and high end. Thanks Shawn - CA Dec 09 - Unit C618-Dear Kathy: We enjoyed our 2 week stay in your lovely condo last Dec. 18th/09. We were impressed with the very comfortable King bed and everything else was just right, thanks again Kathy. Aloha from Shirley and Paul T. - Canada Nov 2009 - D402 - Kathy, Our vacation was the best, great condo friendly people awesome weather. We hope to return soon and will definitely contact you for our needs. Thank you again for allowing us a later check out, turns out one of the lower pools was open just a mistake on my part reading the notice. Thank you, Glenn S. Sept 09-Unit C618-Aloha Linda & Kathy, We are in your condo since September, 19. At our arrival, we have had a big surprise: a gift for us. Thank you very much (picture attached). Our stay is very good. Your condo is very nice and very confortable. We like it. Everything is perfect. Best regards, Louise et Serge July 09-Unit C618-Kathy, Thank you so much for sharing your Maui condo with us. We have so enjoyed our time here. Lots of beach time with a few drives. We toured Makawao and Lahaina, the swap meet on Saturday in Kahalui (great bargains and selections), and a trip to the Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary (726 S. Kihei Road). That was lots of fun and informative. We checked out Big Beach (be careful but fun), Makena, and any others. Our favorite snorkel spot remains Ahihi Kinau Reserve past the love. Great spot. Turtles, a moray eel, a zebra eel, lots of tang and marvelous fish. We are looking forward to our next trip. Thank you! Jeff and Donna. PS We love your artwork. June 09-Unit C618-Aloha Kathy, Your lovely place was more than I imagined. Your generosity and kindness is so appreciated. You will be hearing from me for future visits. I greatly appreciated your write up of places to go and things to do. Every day was a luscious treat. My visit was too short but filled with memories for a lifetime. Cindy
