We found the unit and complex to be exactly what was advertised. We would like to thank Sandy and Frank for their unit. It was nice to come into a unit that was so fully stocked. So often all the condiments have been removed and you have to start fresh, not here. We were so impressed with the complex that we put an offer in on oneof the units and we are now in escrow.... hope to make Kealia a more regular and frequent destination.

Second time staying at Paradise

My wife and I had another great stay at Frank and Sandy's paradise. Each year we come they are updating the condo. This year they replaced the bed (very comfy), the bedroom furniture, fridge, stove and dishwasher. The washer and dryer is great to have inside the unit as it cuts down on the amount of clothes to pack. The sandy beach is steps from the unit and a walk on the beach is a great way to start your morning. Would highly recommend this condo unit. Frank and Sandy thanks again for the great stay and your kind hostitablity

Kealia Resort- Paradise Found! It was perfect!

My husband and I, and our 2 older teenage daughters, stayed at Kealia Condo Paradise Found, in Maui for 5 nights in August 2011. We had an amazing time, and we loved everything about it. The condo was perfect- warm, welcoming, very comfortable, immaculate, decorated with pride and taste, with great views of the ocean and with the awesome sound of crashing waves! It had everything we possibly needed to make it a perfect vacation, including beach chairs, snorkeling and picnic gear, Internet, and much more. We did not have to buy anything at all, except for the fresh fish, vegetables and fruits that we grilled a few nights on the building’s outdoor grill to make sumptuous dinners. We always ate on the Lanai, overlooking the beach, the waves, and the sunset! We loved those moments. The condo is also very conveniently located to do a lot of sightseeing, as Kihei is not only on the sunny side of the island, but also close to all the places to see! Frank, the owner, was very nice, very helpful and very generous with his time, and his suggestions, both before we got there, and while enjoying our time on Maui. We just loved our stay at Paradise Found in Maui, and dream of our next trip there!

My husband, teenage son and I stayed at this beautiful condo over March break, and it was everything we ever wanted for our first trip to Maui. Clean, modern, upgraded, spacious and with a million-dollar view, we loved everything about Paradise Found! Frank and Sandy are simply wonderful hosts, and so easy to deal with. The condo is stocked with all you need for a first rate stay, and then some. The beautiful welcome basket was a lovely touch, and speaks volumes of the care and attention they put into this unit and the service they provide for visitors. Normajean and the staff of Kealia keep the grounds immaculate, there are tons of loungers and chairs, the pool is lovely and the location is just wonderful: right on Sugar Beach where we walked miles every day with no crowds at all. It was a breeze to hop into Kehei, drive up to Lahaina, or anywhere else you want to go on the island. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming (we really enjoyed the PuPu Appetizer Evening on our last night!). The only downside? We had to leave! Thank you Frank and Sandy for a beautiful introduction to your exquisite island -- we will definitely return!

Our seventh visit to Paradise Found. Where have the years gone? So many beautiful "new" surprises this year. Wow! TV, cabinet, stainless steel stove, diswasher and refrigerator. We love that you put a lamp on the bar. Makes such a great difference in the kitchen plus dining table. I am always amazed how you keep 603 so perfect. We certainly realize it takes a lot of work. I pray all the guests treat this Paradise gently. We are all so blessed to share. Plus you, Sandy & Frank, are the best EVER!

We stayed at Paradise found for our honeymoon. And LOVED it! Beautiful condo, gorgeous area outside and Frank and Sandy really make you feel welcome. The pictures do provide a very accurate description of the place. We had everything we needed in the condo to have a perfect vacation. It was so nice to have a place to come "home to" after being out all day. My husband and I can't stop thinking of Maui and want to return for our anniversary. Thank you Frank and Sandy!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Paradise Found. The location right on the beach was perfect and the condo unit itself was very clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Sandy and Frank were very accommodating with our travel plans. They also left us a very nice welcome basket which we very much appreciated.

We have just arrived back home from our wonderful vacation in Maui. Sad to be home! This condo was bright, clean and in a great complex. Everyone was so nice. Secured parking, and not having to worry about losing our keys to the fornt door, because of having a code instead, was great. The view was spectacular. We could watch the beach and the ocean from anywhere in this unit. It had all the amentities and the location was perfect. Nice pool also. This condo is out of the way of the hustle and bustle, yet so close to anything you may want to see or need. Had a great time. Mahalo for sharing your place with us. Can't wait to return. Aloha!

We've been to many places around the world and thought we'd seen Paradise. Now we know we'd only come close. Your name "Paradise Found" is bang on! WOW...What a way to start your day... The view from the lanai while having breakfast, then a walk on the beach put a smile on our faces for the rest of the day. We found the condo to be everything we anticipated and more... We felt right at home thanks to Normajean, Larry, Sherry and the other owners and guests.

What a wonderful treat it has been to stay in this wonderful condo. The location is ideal and the view is spectacular. How lovely to be able to watch the whales play while relaxing on the lanai. The condo has everything we could possible need. The residents of the building are so friendly and helpful- just like Frank & Sandy. Thank you for sharing your Paradise Found with our family and helping make this trip so very special.

Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us. We have been to Maui several times and this is one of the nicest condos we have stayed. The personal touches really made us feel welcome. We played hard every day and enjoyed coming "home" to the condo each evening. We look forward to staying here again, next time we make a trip over here.

We really enjoyed our stay here in Kihei at the Kealia Resort. This was our third trip to Maui in three years- we just can't stay away- and this is the best view we have had (and the best decorated condo).

This is our 3rd trip to Maui, our 1st stay at Kealia. What a great seaside condo. We appreciated the condo's "homey" atmosphere. You have made 603 a great place to stay on Maui. We would like to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you for the great service and attention.

Your 603 is perfect. It's a thrill every time you walk back through the door, hear the ocean and see the view. I am handicapped. Pool and beach access is perfect for me. You have done a fabulous job decorating. So many unexpected extras. We could never stay at another place on Maui. We shall be back real soon. Truly Paradise Found!
