Vacation Rentals by Owner

Exceeded our Expectations

The condo was so beautiful! This was a gift for my husbands 50th birthday and I was very nervous as there are so many options either through a travel agent or VRBO. This by far was the best. Now that we have been there, we would not change a thing. The view, the sounds, the peaceful and quiet location. It truly felt like a home away from home! Dave was there to welcome us and would not let us carry a bag as he greeted us with Hawaiian tradition. He responded to my MANY questions and was ver patient too. Every suggestion was SPOT ON! The beach was so great for snorkeling and every night, we were very surprised that we had it all to ourselves! Wine at Merriman's and then our own private beach! What a gift! There just are not enough wonderful things to say about Ken and Connie's beautiful home and Kapalua. We were so very sad to leave and next time will stay no less than 10 days!

Hard to Leave

The condo is flawless. I can honestly say that I would not change one thing about it, it was that perfect. But as awesome as the condo was, Dave was even better. That guy would bend over backwards and do anything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We came for the Maui Invitational basketball tournament. We booked our flight and lodging without realizing how hard the tickets to the games were to get. We had pretty much given up on seeing the games in person when Dave's assistant Chantrell called us to tell us she stood in line and hooked us up with all day passes! Unbelievable! I've done some pretty cool things in my life and that tournament ranks right up there at the top. And it was all possible because of Dave's commitment to customer service. We will be back. Thanks Dave! Rock Chalk!

This condo is absolutely gorgeous, clean and well maintained. Everything we needed was in the fully equiped kitchen, furnishings and king sized bed were extremely comfortable and linae perfect for eating and relaxing. Particularly liked the fabulous Hawaiian artwork. While sitting on the linae we enjoyed the view of the golf course and ocean beyond while listening to the beautiful songs of the birds in the trees. Would not hesitate to recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Hello again, Connie and Ken, Sitting here tonight watching Maui aerials on the flat screen and listening to Iz on the I-pod...hard to believe Mary and I will be heading home to the desert tomorrow. The week has flown by, as it always does, but not without enjoying some of our favor things: breakfast on the lanai, snorkeling with turtles in Kapalua Bay, lunch at Maui Tacos, crab and macadamia nut wontons at Hula Grill, a sail on America's Cup II, shrimp at Longhi's, spinach and mushroom enchiladas at Cilantro, coconut macadamia nut fudge at Lappert's, and sunsets in Lahaina Harbor. And always the comfort and aloha of your wonderful home. Thanks to Dave for his warm welcome and to you for sharing your home with us again! Until next year, Aloha and Mahalo, Phil and Mary, Phoenix

Aloha Connie and Ken, Wow! What else can we say? Our first time in Maui and I have a feeling we were really spoiled staying in your place! We were comfortable instantly and really appreciated all the details you have thought to provide. We love all the decor, TVs, full kitchen, and comfy bed! Thanks too for supplying all the beach gear! We purchased another board and are leaving a few things behind for your guests for the beach. Loved it - will recommend to everyone!! Thank you -- Robert, Christie, and Megan P.S. Dave and Bambi were fantastic for us too! Thanks!!

Twelve beautiful days, and everything was perfect. We really enjoyed the condo - everything was as we hoped it would be, and we will certainly come again. Favorite activities: snorkeling at Kapalua Bay, long walks around Kapalua along the Beach Access Trail, great whale watching with Pacific Whale out of Lahaina, watching the activity at D.T. Fleming Beach. Thanks for everything! --Mike and Sandy

Your condo is a spectacular masterpiece. When we arrived Dave gave us the VIP tour. Thanks so much for welcome gifts. The Hawaiian flower arrangement is absolutely beautiful. Dave rolled out the red carpet for us. He is a great guy and very talented. Your condo is so nice and comfortable, beautiful artwork, lots of cool features, and how about granite on the bathroom walls, wow. Love the rotating ceiling fans. Awesome bath tub. The kitchen is gorgeous. And what an incredible view out the balcony. Great location and close to many scenic beaches. We had a wonderful time during our week stay. The perfect place to celebrate our anniversary.

I was impressed as soon I walked in. The details were wonderful with a real eye to beauty and comfort. The kitchen is top of line in every aspect. You can cook anything from the most simple to the most gourmet meal if you want to. The living room and the patio make for a great space to relax and visit. The electronics are state of the art, and they are very easy to use with a little explanation. The bedroom is gorgeous, and you'll sleep very comfortably. The bathrooms are stylish and functional. The washer and dryer mean that you can travel light and still keep everything just so. I have stayed at many of the high-end hotels on Maui, and this condo beats them hands down for comfort, class and value. I would recommend this condo to everyone.

We had an amazing time at your beautiful condo in Maui. It was such a fun trip filled with laughter and excitement. Thank you so much for everything! The condo was truly amazing. We couldn't imagine a better place to stay in all of Hawaii. We felt at home in this luxurious condo. It had everything needed for a great trip. We had no problems while we were there and have so many great memories from Maui. We can't wait to go back. Mahalo! The Happy Newlyweds, Matt and KaiAnn

Like most vacations they go too quickly and end too soon. We had a wonderful time on Maui and thoroughly enjoyed staying at your condo. It rates 5 stars. We absolutely loved it. It is nicer than the pictures. The bathroom upstairs is amazing and the bed is incredible. I slept so good. I could go on and on, but just wanted you to know that we were very pleased and happy to have stayed there. Rainbows galore. Dave was awesome. He showed us around when we arrived and advised us on all of the technology; the TV is amazing and your lighting is spectacular. We especially like the back lit mirrors and the fans. Thanks again!!

Connie and Ken, You have a lovely condo and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Kapalua is our favorite area of Maui and we will visit again. The only thing that would have made our stay better is if we had stayed another week. Mahalo.
