We just returned from our week in Maui. We have been before but it was our fist time staying at Maui Kamaole and I couldn't believe how beautiful the grounds are! I will never stay anywhere else again. Brian and Michelle thank you so much for the use of your condo. It was perfect! The condo itself is impeccably clean, the kitchen well stocked, the bed like sleeping on a cloud! The upper pool is amazing and we very much enjoyed using it. The bbq's for use are Webber's and there is never a long wait for them. The complex itself is clean and quiet. You will not be dissapointed if you stay here. If you are looking for the full Maui experience this it it!

The unit was all that they said. Very well equipt. The condo development was beautiful, well maintained and staff were very responsive. The pools were fantastic and not over-crowded.

Spacious with so many convenient trimmings

Just posted the following on Trip Advisor. In addition, I'd say that the description and picts above under-state the place "We stayed in Condo D-102. Not only was it clean and spacious, we especially appreciated appreciated all of the extras. In addition to the full alignment of beach equipment as shown - neatly available, including a number of boogie boards and snorkel equipment of all sizes, there were mats, chairs, and lots of other things. also games, DVD's, CD's. But most of all, there was a full supply of herbs and spices, and even olive oil, a huge extra in being able to cook in a condo. Making arrangements with the owners by email was also easy as they were most responsive And the whole condo just put in coded door locks which meant no keys - a real blessing on a beach vacation. Pools were nice too, and the one grill per section was always available when I wanted it The 3 nearby Kamaole beaches were also sweet, as was Big and Secret beach just a few miles away." Steve

Fantastic Location and Condo

My wife and I have been to Hawaii (Maui) before but, this trip was fantastic. We arrived to find all the comforts of home at the condo. It was centrally located to all the different getaways. It was so relaxing to arrive at a location and have it feel like home. We will definately be re-booking this Condo in the future. Thanks again for everything.

Maui Condo

Date of Stay: 06/16/10 Review Submitted: 07/31/10

Brian and Michelle, Me and my family loved your 2 bedroom condo. This was our first time in a condo on vacation and the experience was fabulous. It was so nice having a kitchen and a washer and dryer during our week's stay, especially with children. The beach toys and boogie boards were an additional bonus. The beds were very comfortable and we slept really well. The condo was in a perfect location to get to the rest of the island and right accross the street from a perfect beach. When we come back next time, we will definately be staying there again. Thanks for allowing us to use your beautiful place, we have made memories there that will last a life time.

Relaxing

Guest: Frazoo (Chatsworth, CA)
Date of Stay: 05/13/10 Review Submitted: 05/22/10

This condo was fully equipped, including easy internet access (hard wire). Having all of the beach equipment on hand was a real plus- beach chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkel equipment. The unit is between both of the complex pools, but not so close that you hear a lot of noise. We found it to be perfect for our needs as we visit family in Maui quite often.

Comment Text: We have recently returned from a 10 day stay in this unit. It was clean, furnished well and very comfortable. We loved the bed and had a great sleep each night - that is not our usual experience when traveling. This condo is also very well equipped with everything you need for a day at the beach with your family. I can also tell you that all these condos are not created equal, so pick your condo and owner carefully. We had some family members staying in the unit next door. It had more square feet, but it was not even close to ours as far as amenities and upkeep. We also had family in another condo kept by the same owners as our unit. They were very happy with their accommodations too. Thanks again!

WOW! We have just returned from our 10 day vacation in beautiful Maui. The Shackelford's miss no details when decorating their clean and spacious condo and preparing for guests of all ages! Perfect location in the resort-close to both pools, as well as perfect location in Kehei-next to the best beaches, shops and restaurants. Thank you Brian and family for the first class accommodations! This truly was "the perfect setting for the vacation of our dreams!" G and I Doyle

Our family of 4 recently stayed in the 1 bedroom condo in July 2007. We were extremely happy with the spacious accomodations. Every possible detail was thought of to make our stay more comfortable. We would go back in a second and stay in any of Brian and Michelle's condos which are complete with clean, high quality furnishings and decor. Mahalo!

My husband and I stayed in this condo in October of 2006 and plan to go back in 2007 because we liked it so much. It made vacationing so easy, like being in your own place. Everything was furnished, even boogie boards! The bed was very comfortable, the TV was nice and large, they even provide non melting ice cubes so your drinks aren't diluted! Very, very nice!

What a beautiful condo. We stayed here for a week on our second honeymoon. Very clean and fully furnished even for beach activities. The owners are very thoughtful and have taken great care to make sure our trip was perfect. Great location to beaches and restaurants. We look forward to taking the family back here some day.

Dear Brian and Michelle,Thank you so much for a wonderful place to stay while in paradise. Your place was so comfortable, clean, and fully loaded with lots of extras. We felt like we were in a very plush home. You have paid attention to every detail. We loved the pictures and the decorating was something else. We could tell you took a lot of pride in your place. We really appreciated all the help you gave us with ideas for sight seeing. It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary and staying at your place helped make it an overwhelming success. We were there at the end of July 2006. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks again.Mike and Nancy Nilsen

Dear Brian and Michele, We want to thank you for your lovely condominium in Maui which really made our stay a great one. Your island home was clean and beautiful, nicely appointed, very comfortable and helped make our stay a totally relaxed one that we'll never forget. Everything was in order and your attention to detail was really appreciated. Just as important was how friendly and accomodating you were when we had some questions while we were in maui. That attention in an often impersonal world was special. It's great to know when planning a vacation in Maui that your place is a "sure thing". We'll look forward to our next stay. Thanks so much. Mahalo. Nelson and Ali

We spent a week in August at this terrific condo. It looked exactly as the pictures show and was very clean and well maintained. It is obvious the owners take pride in this rental and really want you to have a wonderful time. As another reviewer mention, the owner called us early in the week to make sure everything was going well. The unit is in a good location, close to the pool but not so close you hear any noise and at night the entire complex is silent. We never heard anyone above or next to us even when we were in the unit during the day. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this condo again when we visit next time and will definitely recommend it to any friends or family heading to Maui.

What a great place! My wife and I with our 1.5 year old son spent 10 days here in June of 2006 and enjoyed every second of our stay. Condo is nicely decorated and very functional. It had everything we ever needed, including plenty of pots and pens, dishes, glasses, silverware as well as beach gear including beach towels. Washer and dryer are in the unit, which is great. Condo is in the middle of the complex - a perfect location. It's just steps from either of the pools, and minutes from the beach. Walking distance to restaurants, and a short drive to supermarkets. The owner of this unit is great to deal with. He offered helpful comments and even called us early in our stay to check in and to make sure everything was well. Highly recommended!
