Stayed here for a week in April with some friends in preparation for a wedding. The location is right on the Kihei Wailea border and is right across the street from one of the nicest beaches in Maui. Go to the beach before 2 though because the trade winds can get pretty nasty. If you plan on sleeping past 7am bring earplugs and an eyemask. The rooms become pretty bright at 6am and the birds start chirping bright and early. The grounds are big and spacious and the neighbours are friendly. The house doesn't have air conditioning. If you happen to stay in during the afternoon, the house can get quite muggy, but it is still manageable until it gets to be 30 outside. Overall a great place to stay and I hope to be back.

Great Home, Perfect Location

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful Maui home with us! It was absolutely perfect for our vacation. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the lanai every morning, planning our day over yummy treats from the bakery down the street and enjoying the beautiful landscaping. We found your home very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and enjoyed the great selection of books. The location is perfect! Steps away from gorgeous Keawakapu beach where we sat and watched whales in the distance, truly amazing. We spent a lot of time exploring the island and it was always nice to come back to your home in the evening to catch the beautiful sunset over the beach. Your tip sheet provided helpful information and we enjoyed dinner at several of the recommended restaurants. If we visit Maui again, we would love to stay in your home and I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. Mahalo Tracey!

My family and I had a fabulous time here. The house is very comfortable and well appointed with appliances, both big and small. We spent time on the lanai enjoying the scenery of the grounds, and the many different birds flying around. Grocery, and souvenir, shopping is very convenient in the area and there are plenty of restaurants. The beach is extraordinary! We went snorkeling right off the beach, as well as at Makena Landing where we saw 6 sea turtles. The kids spent many hours boogie boarding in the surf. We would definitely stay here again in this very private piece of heaven! Mahalo, Tracey!

Two families with four small children (two 4 year olds & two 7 year olds) stayed at this property the last week of January and the first week of February in 2011. First I would have to say that the pictures do not do it justice! Our experience in this slice of heaven was amazing to say the least. The house was extremely comfortable for everyone - adults and children alike - and it was equipped with everything you could possibly need and then some! The grounds and the privacy they offered were incredible, the beauty and peacefulness it offered unparalleled. Many rounds of tennis were played, perhaps with more enthusiasm than skill, on the bonus tennis court. Most importantly for us, with small children, we felt safe to let them wander and explore the grounds on their own... The location of the house could not be better, it was private, yet a mere stone's throw from the beach. If we forgot anything at the house it was a quick walk back to retrieve it. The beach is a phenomenal, almost private beach, clean and not as busy as some of Kihei's beaches, which we ALL really enjoyed. You are truly in paradise in this part of Wailea yet extremely close to whatever you might want or need; restaurants, shopping, activities, etc. Everything is right there! Thank you so much Tracey for letting us enjoy in your little piece of paradise and we will be back soon. Regards, Carla

We all had a delightful time staying at your very attractive, clean and comfortable house on Maui. Our family's first visit to Hawaii was all that we expected. We also appreciated the extra tips you sent on some good places to eat, shop, and other activities that were close by. Loved being able to walk right across the street to Keawakapu beach. We spent every morning snorkeling there, which was, for most of our stay, reasonably clear. We did go out to Molokini for a morning. What a underwater paradise. Such a fun time swimming with those beautiful fish and turtles. Even saw a Spotted Eagle Ray the last day! Weather was perfect, which we Oregonians especially appreciated! Thank you for providing a great place to stay in paradise!

What a wonderful, relaxing home you have in the perfect location! Walking to the beach for swimming and snorkeling everyday and sunsets every night, running and biking, snorkeling, shopping, eating, napping - it was all amazing. The house truly feels like "old Hawai"i" but we enjoyed the cable tv (college football and baseball playoffs) as well as internet accessability. Mahalo!! We'll be back.

I want to tell you how much we enjoyed the stay at your lovely location. It was perfect for Kay and I, plus my Son and his family. I have been informing my friend of your great location. Even a couple of long time residents of Maui did not know your location existed and the great access to the beach.

Your Maui home was just perfect. We made use of the tennis courts, and swimming at the beach up to 3 times a day, and always an evening stroll to the beach for the spectacular Maui sunsets.

We are having such a wonderful time over here, you house if phenomenal, we see why you love it so much. We met your neighbor and he told us the history of Kula Estates, what a delightful gentleman. We have been having lots of exciting times, snorkeling, ferry to Lanai, lunch at Moma's Fish house!!!! Yummy We are going to back there for an early dinner the day we leave. My brother Gord has been windsurfing, and us girls are shopping, shopping, shopping, and did I mention shopping.

Easy 60 second walk to one of Maui's best beaches. Private, quiet home with old-Hawaii feel yet modern features. Well-kept and very clean, good quality. Everything you need is here. On border of Wailea/South Kihei, so close to shops and restaurants, grocery store, etc. Very good vacation experience -- would highly recommend and would rent again. Comfortable and roomy for family of 6 or 3 couples.

Although I assumed this house would be nice, which is why I booked it, it by far exceeded my expectations! The interior of the house is incredible. Very tastefully decorated, and we kept the doors open across the back wall of the house for our entire week! The view is awesome. Incredibly relaxing. It's right across from the beach. Great place to bike ride as well. We will definitely be back!

Wow, what a wonderful place, and you have a better than excellent location!! Really appreciated the 'laid-back' atmosphere of your house (nice decor and good neighbors). Spent considerable time snorkeling off various beaches, hanging in the sun and researching fish taco's in the greater Maui area. If I had a place like yours I would be a surfboard/paddle fanatic. Rented a paddlesurf board and really loved it. I paddled over the biggest sea turtle I have ever seen just opposite the entrance to you beach. Really like the lanai and the rest of the house. Mahalo.

Our stay was wonderful! The house was amazing and we had such a great time. We will definately be wanting to stay in the summer when we come back to Maui. We met the next door neighbors and they were so nice. Thanks again for letting us stay at your house

Oh my goodness...what a perfect match for our family! Yes, everything worked out nicely and we would love to rent with you again in the near future. Met your next door neighbors our first day and they were very kind. Our son even went over and talked to them about borrowing an air pump for the football at your home. I really can't thank you enough. All was wonderful, great location and we all had a great time.

Our stay was amazing! We had a wonderful time. I think our favorite part was the road to Hana. We deep sea fished...golfer makena and kapali..spa at grand wailea. We had a blast. The best part was our welcome the first sunrise by a double rainbow. Thank you so much for opening your house to us! Dustin and I were engaged on the beach at sunrise on our last morning....thank you!
