Vacation Rentals by Owner

Received Our Refund

Date of Stay: 02/27/12 Review Submitted: 03/31/12

Just wanted everyone to know that the owner was true to his word. He did refund one night's stay because the unit was not cleaned upon our arrival. Obviously, there was a mix-up with the cleaning service. If traveling back to Maui, we would definitely book this condo again!

Owner response:I look forward to you coming back to stay with us.

Lovely Condo

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. All was as expected except when we arrived the unit was not ready. It had not been cleaned. The owner got right on it and sent over a cleaning lady and promised to refund the first night of our stay because of this inconvenience. Initially we were pretty upset about this. Certainly not the way to begin a vacation. If the owner follows through with the refund, we will look at it as mix-up. The bed was extremely comfortable. The condo has lots of amenities, including a Keurig coffee maker. Two things that were missing(or maybe we just could not find them)were an iron and a broom or vacuum. There was an ironing board. The unit is on the ground floor and across the street from lovely Maui beaches.

Owner response:I did respond to the guest as soon as I was informed of the scheduling problem. I graciously offered a one day refund and made the refund soon after their return to the mainland. See their second comment confirming the refund. I look forward to you coming back to stay with us.

Great condo in a great location within walking distance to almost everything you need. Ground floor made it easy to move into and great for coming and going. Charlie Young Beach is just across the street and the best sunset location on the Island. When you get too tired to do anything else the big screen TV is a plus!

we rented this condo in nov,dec of 2011 and were very pleased. It was clean & looked after and remodeled a few yrs ago so was nicer. Good location for us. We really enjoyed the full cable as we had a paticular sporting event we were able to watch. The owner was very co-operative and easy to deal with. We love the location of Maui Vista and plan to stay there again. I think a vacum cleaner was the only thing we missed. We ate in most of the time but there were good restaurants within our walking distance, but it is the beautiful beach that is so close & so accessable.

What a vacation! We arrived to this rental condo and it was like arriving home! Everything we needed and then some(!) was there waiting for us - down to beach chairs, umbrellas and a cooler! It's evident that the owners take pride in the level of service they provide. The condo is spacious, super clean and beautifully decorated. Furniture is high quality, comfortable and the bed mattress a dream! Kitchen is well-stocked with all the bells and whistles. Patio doors open on the lanai and oh how I miss my morning coffee on the lanai in the oh so perfect weather! The unit is not noisy and I felt very safe. Best of all of course is the beach just 500 steps away! Having shops and a variety of restaurants walking distance away made it an extremely convenient location and we used the car very seldom. It was an excellent condo that made for an excellent vacation! I highly recommend it and look forward to booking my next vacation with these owners.

Exceptional condo - great electronic amenities, gorgeous decor, beautiful kitchen & bathroom, very comfortable, well stocked. Close to pool and sunny afternoons. Rented for my dtr, her partner and 11 yr old grddtr who liked the murphy bed, Wi-Fi and comfortably king size bed. All had a fabulous time and would return to the same unit. Some difficulty getting instant response from the owner but eventually replied by phone or email & the condo worth the wait! Noticed the unit is very popular with other vacationers. Have already recommended to friends.

maui vista condo

Date of Stay: 10/05/10 Review Submitted: 04/05/11

having stayed at other units at maui vista this is one we would return to again. Excellent bed and air cond in two rooms is a plus. This being a ground floor unit is close to parking area and packing in the groceries made easy. Location in bldg 2 gives you shade in the afternoon when sun the brightest, Kitchen fully equipt so no need to bring any items with you. Location of Maui Vista in Kihei is excellent and plenty of parking available which is important. Having a nice swimming area just across the street is convenient for those not wanting to drive all the time to the beaches and can watch the sunsets every evening.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this condo for ten days in May and we loved it. It is extremely clean......the decor was very nice and it has absolutely everything you would need. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom is unique and well-designed......and we loved the Ipod docks. The location is great because it is very close to several beaches......our favourite being Makena which was only a 10min drive. We both felt very relaxed and 'at home' which is definitely what we were looking for. The property is super quiet......and you don't hear any street noise in this unit as its in a great location. I highly recommend this condo to anybody who is looking for a clean, comfortable and relaxed vacation. We would stay here again for sure!!

Maui Vista

Date of Stay: 04/02/10 Review Submitted: 04/15/10

We stayed at Don’s condo for 10 days at the beginning of April. One of the nicest features of this unit is the ground floor location and large lanai which overlooks a nice green area – perfect for breakfast and late afternoon! The condo has everything you will need for your vacation on Maui – Beach supplies, Washer/Dryer, very well equipped Kitchen and access to the Pool(s), Tennis Courts and BBQ area. The memory foam bed is pure luxury and the extra TV and A/C in the master bedroom were a nice bonus. This VRBO property is recommended to anyone considering a vacation on Maui.

Don, my sincere apologies. I completely forgot to contact you after our stay in your condo the week of March 1. I just wanted to tell what an amazing time we had. My wife and I both agreed that this was the most relaxing vacation either of us has ever had. The condo was unbelievable. You have done a great job renovating it. We just can't say enough about the time we spent in Maui, and I have no doubt we will be coming back. When we do return we would love to stay in your condo again, so I will keep your email and I hope to be contacting you in the near future. Thanks again for such a wonderful place to stay.

Thank you so much for the beautiful experience. Maui Vista is the perfect place to stay. The Condo is absolutely beautiful and so close to everything. We walked to the beach every day. The whole experience has been great, right from the initial contact. I hope everyone else who stays at Maui vista loves it as much as we did! MAHALO

We stayed at Don’s condo for our honeymoon at the end of August. It was our first trip to Maui and we couldn’t have asked for more! We loved that the condo had everything we needed for the beach – beach towels, chairs, bamboo mats, a cooler, etc! Maui Vista is in a great location – close to shopping, restaurants, and the beach! Thanks Don!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Wish it could have been longer. You have everything there that is needed for a comfortable stay. It was quite there in bldg 2, but only a short walk to the beach. Thanks!

Don, Your condo was wonderful - It was just what we needed and was great for the kids. I loved the hide-a-bed and will actually be purchasing one for my home. The location was ideal and Charlie Young was right across the street. It was quiet and we enjoyed playing tennis and Bar-B-Que'n 2 nights. Thanks you for all you attention to detail. Your wife and I have been bitten by the same decorating bug, as I have decorated my house w/ so many of the same things. Mahalo!

Thanks Don! We loved your condo, especially the quiet, high end appliances and electronics that made our stay so easy. The location across the street for the beach was perfect. Don even dropped off tennis racquets and tennis balls for us to use! Highly recommended, and we hope to be back. Thank you again Don for a great vacation. Halim

We really enjoyed our week long stay at Maui Vista. The condo is better than your fabulous description! You have thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. The whole condo. is upgraded and super clean. We loved the beach chairs and cooler. We enjoyed the barbeque and eating out on the lanai. The kids had fun in the pool and loved the Wii. The murphy bed was very comfortable for them and your king size bed was luxury. Great location. Great value and Don is very prompt at returning your security deposit. Highly recommend. Thanks Don.

Thank you Don for sharing your beautifully renovated condo for our two week holiday. It had all the conveniences of home. We absolutely loved the location being right across the street from the best beach in Kehei, Charlie Young. And it was so conveniently located for so many of our daily road trips. We would certainly stay at your condo in future because we had such a great time we will be back. Mahalo! Gordy & Margaret

Dear Don, Thanks so much for making your condo available to us. We have enjoyed all our stays on Maui and have found Maui Vista to be our favorite complex. Your unit is by far the nicest we have found there and the best value. We don't get this well treated at home. Everything is updated and upgraded and oh so comfortable: plush beds and the dual AC units plus fans were wonderful. Perhaps the most conveinient feature is the wash/dryer in the unit. You don't have to wait around to do your laundry and when your traveling and beaching it's not a once a week deal. You don't even have to be there while it's running. The beaches accross the street are so nice and you can walk all the way down thru Wailea for a morning stroll if you like and/or walk a few blocks north to the Kihei Caffe for an open air breakfast that has "Island" flavor in their 20 dishes and all the coffee you can drink. Cove park on the way there is a great place to watch surfers or join them. The grounds are nicely kept and we have found Kihei and Maui Vista a great starting off point for our various travels we like to do; Makena a few miles south, Lahaina less than 30 minutes away and the airport and North Shore beaches are less than 20. Thanks for making our Maui vacation both elegant and affordable. Mahalo Tom T
