Aloha, thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo. It was very relaxing and we felt right at home. I slept like a baby every night. The weather was FANTASTIC the whole time we were in Maui. It was great to have the kitchen and all the items included. We barbequed on my birthday and it was the best meal it even beat the meal at the Luau. So many things to see and do in Maui. Advice to others travelling, read the Maui Revealed book. There is tons and tons of information in it and great advice also. Really I can't say enough about your condo or Maui everything was OUTSTANDING. Highly recommend staying here. Mahalo!

Paradise...

The stay at Palms was a little piece of heaven. A home away from home if you will. It has all the comforts anyone could ask for. The condo was clean and very well kept. The 2 bedrooms were spacious and a great place to lay your head. The condo was very quiet and the outside deck was a fantastic place to eat breakfast and finish the day gazing at the stars. The condo is totally furnished. It is absolutely beautiful. The air conditioning was a nice treat at the end of a hot day. The full kitchen and barbecue kept us well fed and ready for roaming the beaches. On days when we stayed at the Palms the pool was a great place to relax and enjoy the sun. I rate the condo a 10 out of 10 and would go back in a heartbeat.

Owner response:Very happy that your family came to enjoy my place in Paradise!! See you again, soon!

Lynda it was all we had heard and more. The wonderful mornings on the lanai with our coffee's were great! The sunsets from the pool were fantastic. It was like staying in our own home, the grounds where always meticulously groomed the people were friendly and so helpful. Booked tours and shows from the guest services folks. Everything was just to easy. I wish it would have been a month instead of two weeks the time went so quickly. The restaurant Joe's in Wailea was a great dining experience, and the sunsets from our table were awesome! The beach's around your vacation home were the best around. I know you are not supposed to touch the turtles if you see them, but one friendly one, swam by and brushed my leg, it surfaced, looked around and swam away, what a great experience. The beach chairs you supply were great. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at what I call my "Villa in Wailea." Can not express in words what a fantastic vacation we had. A true gem. Anyone looking for a fantastic vacation, can not miss here. Thanks again.

Owner response:Thank you for your awesome review. I love to share my home here in Maui and rent it out part-time as a "2nd" home for my guests too:). Also, thank you for keeping it clean and tidy, a bit of a challenge when you're having fun!! I try to keep my condo in super-condition and with lots of amenities to help ensure that your vacation will be trouble-free. "Mahalo" (thanks) for choosing my condo to enjoy your special holiday. Kind Aloha, Lynda I'm so pleased that you could come and enjoy my condo and the beautiful island of Maui. Now you know first-hand why Maui has won the title of "Best Island in the World" for 20 years.

Wonderful Maui Rental

Date of Stay: 05/14/11 Review Submitted: 05/27/11

Thank you so much for operating such a wonderful rental. We had an absolutely fabulous time on Maui- the wedding was wonderful, the accommodations were beautiful- so nicely furnished and we were glad that we sprang for the extra a/c- it made it much more comfortable for everyone. We made good use of the beach gear and towels, and loved the saltwater pool and hottub. I will definitely look up your rental next time we are thinking Maui again. ;)

Five Star Condo

Date of Stay: 04/12/11 Review Submitted: 04/27/11

This high quality, spacious condo has all of the comforts of home. The property is clean and well maintained and the pool is a nice size with beautiful water views. While the condo is conveniently located you will require a rental car if you wish to eat at local restaurants in the area..The closest beach is a 20 minute walk or three minute drive. We would strongly recommend this condo and plan to return in the future.

Owner response:Walking times depend on which beach you wish to access, as Keawakapu is just below the condo complex. There are many restaurants that deliver right to the door, should you wish to eat 'at home' :) Happy travels.

Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to enjoy this amazing island! Maui was all we anticipated and more, truly an island paradise! When we left Winnipeg, the temperature was -25 and -35 with the windchill. I wore my parka and long underwear. We arrived at your beautiful condo in the evening. We couldn't believe our good fortune. The unit was comfortable, inviting and so tastefully decorated. The little solar lights on the balcony added to the atmosphere. The chocolates in the refrigerator were a thoughtful gesture and much appreciated. We drove the road to Hana, hiked to the summit of Haleakula, went out whale watching and thoroughly enjoyed surfing in the ocean. Mahalo for facilitating such a wonderful vacation. Thank you so much!

We arrived on the island needing a place to recharge the batteries and found a bit of paradise. Everything we could have needed was carefully thought out and provided at the condo and the surroundings were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Maui scenery. Thanks so much and hopefully we will return!

Just wanted to let you know that you have a very nice unit. My wife, myself, my daughter and her husband, and their three children had a great time while staying at your place. If and when we ever go back to Maui, I will definitely first check to see whether your unit is available.

Pacific Paradise!

Guest: Enily (San Juan, PR)
Date of Stay: 04/10/10 Review Submitted: 06/11/10

This place is all we needed and much more. Very comfortable and clean. Lots of open space with plenty of ocean breeze. We started with 4 people and ended up with 6 total by the end of the trip and we were still very comfortable. Love the decor in the bedrooms and the beds are extremely comfortable. There are many restaurants nearby and the beach is just a 5 min walk away from the most beautiful sunset.. I am planning my return to this pacific paradise, but this time I would like to stay for a longer time. Thanks for a great, safe home away from home!

A very nice, clean and well-maintained condo. Utilitarian arrangement and whole condo is very spacious so it is possible to fit a lot of people in it without condo feeling over crowded. The condo is beautiful decorated and lies in a very nice neighbourhood with a nice vibrate and atmosphere to it. Surroundings are beautiful and condo lies close to beach and several beautiful walks. I would definitly recommend this condo to friends and family and I really hope to be going back soon myself!

I stayed at this condo at the Palms with a few friends. It was perfect, comfortable, spacious modern, safe and I really enjoyed the area of Wailea. It was a short easy drive to the north coast, where we would spend most our days surfing and kite surfing and a stones throw away from seeing breath taking sunsets on the south coast. I would definitely stay there again and with a group of people would recommend it over staying in a hotel any day.

Thank you very much for opening up your Condo for us. It was beautiful and felt just like home, we all enjoyed it very much. You have everything in it, it is very well thought out, and we loved your updated decor! It was lovely to stay in a unit where the owner cared so much for it, and the beds and sheets were cozy too!! My sister thanks you also for the brand new sofa sleeper, she always gets the couch when we vacation and has never had a good one until we found yours. Cheers.

We loved the condo so much! We did a girls trip and we cooked in the kitchen every single night and ate out on the patio, which overlooks a gorgeous green landscape. The patio was very spacious with a nice big table for eating dinners, and there were nice lounging chairs for relaxing afterwards. The condo was very central and we were able to walk to the beach in 15 minutes. I would highly refer this condo to anyone who is looking to stay in Maui- its a really gorgeous spot to spend some time and its very quiet as well.

Our stay at the Palms

Guest: Codi (Vancouver, Canada)
Date of Stay: 11/01/09 Review Submitted: 06/11/10

We had an amazing time at this resort, our room was spacious, and well equipped with everything you could think of, including scuba gear and beach toys for the kids. It is an excellent place for children, as well as relaxing without them. The location is great, as you are just a walk down to the beach, we enjoyed our "hotel walk" along the beach every night, enjoying the sunsets and watching the Luaus along the way. The condo has a beautiful Lanai, which we enjoyed dinner out on almost every night, and the location is only a few minutes drive towards the main shopping area. Wailea is a great place to stay because it is very central if you want to take short day trips and explore the island. The resort ammenedies were great, wonderful people, and beautiful pool and gardens. I can't wait to return!

Somehow, the condo is grand and yet homey. Comfortable. You won't hesitate to put your feet up. Perfect location in relation to stores and beaches. And every evening ends alternating between the pool and hot tub. I have stayed at The Palms at Wailea twice, and have been very happy with the property and my accommodations. Very easy and professional rental, as it should be.

Len and I would be more than happy to write something for Unit 706, The Palms At Wailea. "Len and I made our home away from home at Linda's Unit 706 for a few years and looked forward to going each year after Christmas. The complex is very quiet and within walking distance to the beach. Everything is supplied for you at Linda's Condo - right down to beach accessories and Golf Clubs. The condo is located in one of the nicest areas in Maui and has probably the least amount of rain on the Island."

A beautiful spacious condo with luxurious furnishings. The owner has thought of everything to make you feel welcome and your stay enjoyable ~~~ from a well-stocked kitchen to beach supplies. This exceptionally clean condo is not only beautiful but also peaceful. A great place to enjoy a quiet coffee on the lanai or an evening dinner ~~~ a short walk to the beach and shopping ~~~ a perfect 'spot in paradise'. We can't wait to stay again and enjoy the Maui sunshine. Thanks Lynda for your warm and gracious hospitality. Dot ~ Bernie ~ Lorene (Surrey, BC)

This condo is fabulous. It has been an amazing place of respite for our family. It offers everything that we would want during a vacation. It is steps away from a beautiful pool and hot tub, has an amazing view of the ocean, is minutes away from various beaches, has a beautiful and comfortable decor, etc. I could go on and on. We love staying at this condo.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Maui a little over two years ago. I often find myself daydreaming (especially in winter) of staying once again at Lynda's beautiful place. That was definitely one of our favourite holidays and not just because it was our honeymoon. Linda's place is absolutely stunning. We felt right at home and never wanted to leave. The views were awesome and relaxing by the pool added years to our life. The condo was amazing and very inviting. If only we were millionaires and we would rent it for life. Thanks, Todd Melton

Absolutely Amazing! The location is fabulous, a beautiful walk along the Wailea shore is just steps away. The pool & hot tub area are sitauted just perfectly for watching the warm Maui sun set after another incredible day. The condo itself, couldn't ask for better. It comes fully stocked with everything you need, all the snorkel gear, beach towels, pool towels, bbq on the deck, and just about every kitchen spice imaginable. The owner takes great care of the unit, it is always in top condition. I highly recommend this unit.

What a beautiful condo. The livingroom and kitchen area is so large and the kitchen had everything we possibly needed. We just loved the large deck especially all the beautiful birds that would come to visit us during our morning coffee. The master bedroom and ensuite is beautiful and the air conditioning in the bedroom was really enjoyed. With only a short walk to the ocean, we spent a lot of time snorkeling and swimming. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise.
