Dear Lorraine, Ray & Donald ... Thanks for the 5-star accommodations! Our family was so blessed to have the use of your condo and all its amenities in our favorite holiday destination. With 2 teenagers the space & comfort here made the time so very enjoyable and gave us all a much needed and truly rejuvenating rest. Our morning cup of coffee was enjoyed each day with that breath- taking view! Aloha! ... Daryn, Cheryl, Chandel and Chad

Incredible View

Date of Stay: 07/15/11 Review Submitted: 07/24/11

I stayed here with my wife and 9 year old boy. It is an excellent location (for not being on the beach) and has everything you might need stocked in the property. No surprise the owners are in the interior design field as the inside is very well decorated. The lighting is masterfully done and there are all kinds of personal touches from furniture to audio & video entertainment to kitchen supplies. No doubt that you can entertain yourselves and friends with the resources. The view from the lanai is incredible! You are less than 2.0 miles from pristine beaches of your choice. We spent most of our beach time at Wailea Beach just below the Grand Wailea. It's a mere 1.1 driving miles to the public parking lot for Wailea Beach which positions you next to a rinsing shower and 9 iron distance to the water. I'd recommend staying here to anybody I know! You won't be disappointed unless you want waves crashing a stones throw away from your location. Lorraine did a bang up job welcoming us and co-ordinating our arrival and departure. Thanks Lorraine and thank you owners for making this property available to share with us.

Recommended for:Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

(All comments entered by owner are quoted directly from condo guestbook). Dear Lorraine, Ray and Donald ~ What a beautiful and relaxing place you have here at Wailea ... When I was in South Maui last (1974 as a teenage girl), there was really nothing here past Kihei! Makena (Big) Beach remains my favorite on all the Hawaiian Islands! Your condo and customer service are perfect. We'll definitely be back when we can stay longer. ... Dan, Kathryn, David and Laura (Lake Oswego, OR)

(All comments entered by owner are quoted directly from condo guestbook). Dear Lorraine, Ray and Donald ... Our family truly enjoyed your beautiful home during our first stay in Maui. The accommodations were more than we imagined, and the view was so amazing the rest of the family gathered to watch the sun go down from the lanai here. Our first son was married here at Makena this week, and your home provided a great place for us to be together before we sent him off in style. Thanks for everything!. The Sullens (from Tennessee)

What a fabulous condo! This was the first time we have ever rented a condo on vacation and we would definatley do it again. The condo has everything that you need and more.

(Please note: all comments entered by owner are quoted directly from condo guestbook). Thank you so much for allowing our family the pleasure of staying in your beautiful condo! ... This trip has been the perfect respite from our busy lives in Virginia and Michigan. In fact, we are pressed to think of a favorite moment from our 10 days here, but we were always happy to come to 808. It is truly magical. :) -- the Frame and Ratzlaff families

Hi Lorraine, The condo is fantastic. Better than your description and you guys have essentially covered anything a person could think up in terms of amenities. Being from the San Francisco Bay Area, we have sometimes found that people oversell their rentals online with regards to the islands. Your property has over delivered in every way. We also love Waliea and are so happy we chose this location. Without a doubt, the best location on the whole island. Fantastic beaches, great shopping and yummy food! We will definitely contact you in the future when we are ready to come back! Thanks Again, Todd

What a wonderful place to spend 10 days! It truly is "Paradise" -- We are so content to watch the birds, the whales, and enjoy the flowers & vistas from the beautiful lanai. -- Loved all the new furniture. -- We enjoyed all the little beaches nearby and especially Big Beach at Makena. We got to eat at the SeaWatch, the Waterfont & Cafe O'Lei. We also cooked in and had a lovely cocktail party. Donald & Ray certainly took good care of us. ... Nancy and Mugsy (Donald's parents)
