PERFECT

Everything was just as we saw it on the web... .actually, even better. It was super clean, and nice with tile everywhere. The quiet morning on the lanai were perfect with a cup of coffee, watching the ocean and the palm trees, and just relaxing. Thank you for the "extras," like the picnic bag and ice pacs, which we used everyday. Perfect location, as it is away from the street noise. We would wake up to the birds singing in the morning! We loved it, and would definitely come again!

Wonderful Time On Mauis

Aloha Dan, I just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time on Maui. Your unit was comfortable, functional and it would be hard to beat the view. Kihei provides a central location, a great walking beach and, we think, the best weather on the island. Thanks again for renting your place to us, our paths may cross again. Mahalo, Keith

Owner response:Thanks again Keith for staying with us! We chose Kihei for our Maui home just for the reasons you said. great weather and central location. please come see us again! And we give discounts to referrals and returning guests! Mahalo!

Love the Oceanfront

Guest: Anne a.
Date of Stay: 12/05/11 Review Submitted: 12/17/11

Dan, We thoroughly enjoyed your unit and was nice to have the oceanfront area. The unit is done up nicely and was ideal as we had our daughter and grand daughter with us. It was the first time there for our grand daughter and our daughter was last there 18 years ago. Had a lovely time snorkeling and playing on the beaches. My wife and I had stayed in a studio unit in the other building near the road on March 2010. This was our 6th or 7th trip to Maui and always enjoy it. Would definitely recommend your unit to others and maybe use one of yours in the future. Thank you again for sharing with us !!! Tom and Joyce

We just got back from 17 days at Village by the Sea. We had stayed at Maui Sunset and Kehei Holiday and Village by the Sea had them both beat. What a wonderful place. It was always nice to come back home to our comfortable condo after a long day of adventures. The condo is very nice and has everything you need for an extended stay. So nice we actually looked at some open houses at VBS. We stayed there with our two young daughters and comfort was the rule of they day. The pool area is very nice and everyone was very friendly. The private beach was a big bonus as our girls could stay all day at the beach. The only negative was (as others have mentioned). Is the laundry is down the hall. Not a big deal and we got used to this early on. The condo is a bit dark with the flooring but not overly so. You need to close the bedroom door for bath privacy but these are all minor things and overall this is the best condo experience in our six stays on Maui. Thanks Dan!

Owner response:Thank you for your review. We do our best to make sure our guests have a wonderful stay. We take their opinions and suggestions very seriously We come over to the island often to check on the condo and to upgrade and fix any items that need attention. We also give discounts to those guest that come back and to the friends they refer as well. Please give us a call if any questions or suggestions. A happy guest is our main priority. Dan

Hi Dan, Thank you for sharing your Maui condo. It was the perfect place for our little retreat. My friend, Nancy, had never been to Hawaii. Your condo worked well for accessibility to the rest of the Island, and the evening sunsets were simply wonderful. Mahalo. Take care, Joanne and Nancy

maui beach front stay

Dan, Thanks again for our stay at your condo on Maui. My wife, daughter and her boyfriend and I had a very enjoyable stay in your most pleasant abode after chasing the Maui sites and experiences. The location was great with almost central access to everything on the island, and we found it all! We are active travelers and did not care for the resort prisons. However, we did want a place where we could spread out, fix a meal, drop into, the hot tub and pool, grill a steak, enjoy the balcony and its magnificent ocean view. The kids even broke out the shuffle board. Sounds like a few resort activities after all. Your condo gave us all of our vacation requirements. We found the unit very comfortable and clean except that the ants in the kitchen came back. By being very fastidious and clean, they didn't pose a problem and I know you are working on it. We will be recommending you to our friends and hope to return to Maui and to stay with you again.

mahalo for putting together such a nice vacation home. The decorations were so pleasant. and the tile work is just beautiful. We loved the ocean views from every room with lots of light. This was our first trip to Maui in 20 years but it won't be our last! And when we return to warm our Colorado bones we will surely return to this unit. The location is perfect for seeing all the island. See again soon!

Home away from Home

Thanks again for the great place in kihei. It was nice having a place that is right on the ocean, with pool and sand just steps away. Your view as you wake up in the morning if of only the ocean and grounds of the complex. People were always friendly at the complex and have learned that the BBQ area is the best social spot around. Condo was clean and tidy, would suggest a second maid service if you are staying for more than 10 days Parking was primo and reserved. A rental car is a must on the island but they are cheap as chips. Room has everything you would need when you get there, there are spices in the cupboard and all the cooking gear you need. Bottom line, a great getaway location.

Owner response:Thanks Rob for staying with us! Come see us again on your next visit and maybe try our other oceanfront condo at the complex next door. Also we have a gorgeous one bedroom oceanfront on the island of Molokai.

Second visit to this beautiful oceanfront condo!

We stayed here in March of 2009 and March of 2010. Both visits were wonderful. The view from both lanais of the condo is awesome. The sunsets are gorgeous - lots of photo ops. The Village by the Sea is very convenient in central Kihei and you are only moments away from great restuarants (Jaws Fish Tacos), grocery shopping (Safeway), beautiful beaches, golf - you name it. The condo is fully equipped, including fun stuff to use at the beach! We'll stay here again.

Whale watching bonus

Hi Dan: Well... we are home safe and sound. It is back to reality in the snowy north. I just wanted to pass along to you how much we thoroughly enjoyed your condo. We did not count on being able to whale watch every morning from the deck. The other thing we did not count on was being able to swim in the ocean, which we did when we discovered that we could. Having our own quiet beach for walking or sunning afterwards was glorious. The kitchen is convenient and we enjoyed cooking up some delicious meals of locally caught fish. Thank-you to the front office staff too, who were very nice to us. I will recommend your condo to our friends and family. Janice
