"WOW" - This is the best adjective to describe this place. It's beauty is surreal. We spent our first couple of days exploring all areas of the island, and left convinced that the Makena Cottage has the best view and the most peaceful feel. The first day we kayaked around the cove in front of the cottage and left for Big Beach. We had our first of many encounters with the turtles, fish, and eels. We walked along the resort oceanfront path (two miles north) and visited Big Beach and the black sand beach (just to the south). The best part of every day was coming back here and watching the sunset from the lawn chairs. Nothing is better than a beautiful sunset, a glass of wine and my best friend! Thank you Petersons for your generosity and your unique ability to turn a rental cottage into a home. (October 2009)

Dear Camille and Eric, What an amazing stay we had! We spent much of our time on the lanai admiring God's creation and having some of the funniest and romantic moments to date. What a great honeymoon! This trip was about taking it easy, tacos, massages, laying in the sun, snorkeling and walks. What a week! (July 2009)

Dear Camille and Eric, Your cottage totally exceeded our expectations. We were lucky enough to figure out when eating time is for the turtles who dine just to the right side of the cove...an unbelievable experience. We will be back! (August 2009)

We arrived here after spending four days in our time share condo in Kihei. While we were in Kihei, we were busy making plans on how we would celebrate our 25th anniversary, but once we got to your beautiful cottage, all plans went out the window! The minute we stepped through your door, we felt ourselves instantly relaxed. We never wanted to leave!! But, I feel like I've seen more of Maui here than any other trip. One day we saw a Monk Seal right out side and another day we saw two manta rays (either playing or mating!) swimming here in the little cove. One of my favorite memories will always be of our daily turtle visits. You can almost set your clock by them! Thank you so much for making our 25th anniversary trip so romantic and memorable. You have the most perfect spot on Maui - I can't wait to come again! (September 2009)

Eric and Camille, As has been noted by all our predecessors, this is the most remarkable cottage. Really, you have thought of everything. We ate here most days. The kitchen has everything. We always try to avoid hotels and condos. We have rented on Maui, Hawaii, Oahu, Ventura, CA, Newport Beach, CA, the Oregon Coast, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Italy and this is the nicest place we have ever stayed. It is those little details like the robes and rice steamer that make this cottage a five star resort. (September 2009)

This house was absolutely wonderful. We invited some friends over for dinner one evening that were staying at the Ritz and they were very envious of our cottage! It was clean with up to date appliances including laundry facilities. We slept to the sound of the ocean, relaxed on the huge deck, and watched for turtles each evening. We are saving our pennies hoping to return next year. My husband says he'll never stay in a hotel again!

My husband and I have stayed at the Makena Oceanfront Cottage twice. It is one of my favorite travel destinations. It's quiet, clean, well maintained and private. I love to be able to walk right off the oceanfront deck and snorkle with the sea turtles and tropical fish. The hot tub is an incredible place to relax in the evening while sipping on rum and coconut (fresh picked from the yard) and while watching sunsets and migrating whales. This place is one of a kind and is a little slice of heaven on earth!

After spending a week in Makena, we think it should actually be called Heaven II. Your beautiful home was perfect for our family vacation and we loved waking to the sounds of the waves each morning. The sunsets on the porch and lounging on the lanai made this such a relaxing retreat. I'm not sure if the kids had more fun swimming with the family of sea turtles in the cove or kayaking along the coast.....but everything about this vacation was perfect. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We can't thank you enough for the chance to spend a week at your cottage! It was all we hoped for and more. It is in one of the most beautiful locations we have ever been privileged to visit. We loved being right on the ocean and being able to watch the green sea turtles from the lanai every afternoon. We also appreciate the lending library set up in our bedroom. Our stay ranks as our most memorable family vacation ever. We would love to have the opportunity to visit again in the future. Thanks for everything!

The Makena cottage has exceeded for beyond our expectations. We usually commit each vacation day to visiting the sites and touring. The Makena Cottage magically kept us here most of the time. Stars and more stars against the pitch black sky at night. Listening to the surf break lulled us to sleep each night. The full moon setting over the water in the early morning is breathtaking. Palm trees swaying in the trade winds daily. Kayaking and snorkeling among the sea turtles all added to this amazing vacation. Makena Cottage is paradise defined!
