Thank you so much for a wonderful time on Maui! The sunsets from the lanai are the best we have ever seen! It was so relaxing to sit out there and enjoy the view of the golf course and ocean in the distance. Love how the light and open kitchen/living room was. Great to have a DVRtoo and 2 bathrooms! Thank you!

Thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Everything was just perfect and what an ideal location - close to some of the most beautiful beaches, the high end shopping, and the wonderful restaurants. There was only one problem... we couldn't stay longer! Much mahalo and we look forward to coming back. PS Mahalo for all the beach chairs,equipment. The Quiet Pool was perfect. Forgot to mention the great view of the Blue Course and ocean too. WE loved sitting on the lanai and enjoying our Kona coffee and breakfast each morning. (Sorry, the list goes on...)

We enjoyed your very comfortable accommodations and all its amenities. We were with a large group for a wedding and I can truly say that after visiting several other units, this is one of the most comfortable in the entire complex. Our stay was great, weather wonderful, food exquisite, and all activities memorable. Thanks again for everything and we really enjoyed meeting you.

Yes, yes, Olu Olu provided a peaceful, extremely comfortable, roomy, but very homey and serene setting for our extremely relaxing and restful week in Paradise. Magnificent quiet days culminating in spectacular sunsets seen from the lanai. A wonderful week to end 2009 and start a new decade.

Richard.....Thank you very much for being so kind to Brenda. She raves about your professionalism and courtesy. As you know, we are here for ten days and look forward to meeting you. The Condo is extremely well done. We've found every kitchen item invented and used about half of them. The birds and golfers are friendly. The birds are beautiful and the golfers humorous. Thanks again for your care and concern.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home. We are so comfortable and right at home that we hate to leave! We had all the comforts of home plus many comforts that we don't have at home, like a WARM ocean! We really enjoyed the "quiet pool" and the nice people who work here and those who are visiting. Your home is lovely and our visit was very peaceful. Tom enjoyed "your golf course"! Mahalo and Aloha!

Our 3rd visit to your condo, Richard - just a great place and a great base for the beaches and golf. Got to watch some of the US Open Tennis. A visit to Cafe O'Lei in South Kihei is worthwhile - great food at reasonable prices. Hope we make it back again soon to this warmth and sun. Kind regards, Janet and Michael

Sitting by the pool was also enjoyable. The location is great. It's close to the Shops and hotels but far enough away that's it's peaceful and quiet. I hope to visit again sometime soon.

We visit Maui often and always stay in Wailea because it is so enchanting. Mahalo. Must do's: Mama's Fish House, Makena "Big" and "Little" Beach, and Snorkeling at Kanakena Cove.

It was very nice staying here. Thank you so much for opening up your home to all of us travelers. I like the freedom it offered and the relaxed atmosphere so opposed to the resorts with interruptions of house cleaning and the sort. And needing coffee at 4:30 AM was never a problem! Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as well as expected but that is always a chance we take when the heart is involved.

This place is awesome! Make sure in your stay to go to Big Beach, but be careful of the waves cause they are super big! We went on a really great boat trip called Blue Water Rafting and we saw tons of turtles and dolphins. The bedroom was sorta warm but if you keep the air conditioner on for most of the day it cools things down. Hope you have a totally sweet trip! Thank you.

Dear Richard, Thank you for letting us stay in this wonderful space. It actually took us quite a while to reach Hawaii, longer than usual. The plane we were going to take was cancelled, we took another plane, the baggage didn't come on the plane with us, but we finally got here and had a great vacation time. We thank you again and we wish you all the best as well as your guests! Thank you!

Richard, it was great staying at Olu Olu. We enjoyed eating out on the lanai and all the conveniences of home. Toward the end of our stay we started calling it "home." Thank you for all the thoughtful touches. The "Maui Revealed" book was great for the Hana trip. Our stay at your condo made our honeymoon so much more relaxing. It's nice to be away from the crowds and enjoy the peace and beauty of Maui. For now, our bags are packed and the forecast for Boston will be in the 30's tomorrow night. (Yikes!)
