Dear Di and Ken, When we found your condo on VRBO we knew we had found the perfect retreat. Still, we had no idea that we were headed for the vacation of a lifetime. When we arrived we were delighted to discover that both your condo and the view from the lanai were even more beautiful than the photos. We hadn't even been on site ten minutes when I saw my first whale breaching. Every morning we watched sea turtles swimming right below us as we drank coffee and ate breakfast from the lanai. Every evening we sat and watched the whales playing right offshore. At night, the sound of the surf lulled us to sleep. We found peace, hope , healing. We laughed together as we hadn't laughed in a long time. We were delighted with all of your special touches. The closet full of everything we could possibly need, from sand chairs to snorkel equipment to boogie boards, the soft fluffy towels, the well-equipped kitchen and the great binoculars for watching the whales. And, your incredible remodeling job, comfy yet elegant, warm and inviting. Everything was as perfect as it could be. Though we went on to do other things on our trip, your condo was the highlight of our vacation. Each day we went out and did things, but by noon or so a vote among the troops showed that all anyone wanted to do was return to the condo and relax on the lanai. In reality, it is impossible to truly thank you for everything you have given us. Mahalo!

(Owner added comment from Yahoo travel Review of Hale Ono Loa 409) Best condo in Hawaii By A Yahoo! User 02/14/05 Overall: 5 star Cleanliness " Location " Value " Loved the view of the ocean from unit 409 and it's so close! I could fish off my lanai if I wanted. I loved the view of both islands directly in front of us! The sunsets and moon over the ocean were spectacular!! To see this and other comments from yahoo users do a google search for Hale Ono Loa 409

(Owner added comment from Yahoo travel Review of Hale Ono Loa 409) Yahoo user says HOL 409 is 5 Star!! Just got back after 10 days there #409. 409 is best location / view of all the units - 4th floor right over the water. AWESOME. Hale Ono Loa is not the Ritz by any means but the location is good halfway between Kapalua and Lahaina. Each unit will be completely different depending on the owner. The building is a bit tired overall but serviceable and if your unit is upgraded it can be a very nice experience- ours was great. The management company of Chase'n'Rainbows managed our unit and they were fantastic. There is a manager on duty- a gas fired grill outside ot BBQ (go early or late to miss the crowd). Folks staying there are traveling as couples or with some kids. Pretty quiet all in all and folks keep tothemselves. There is no beachfront (in winter) here only a sea wall and it is not real easy(in winter) to get in the ocean here. The pool is sparsely attended and there is a good observation/ sun deck to watch the whales and sea turtles in the surf - look close for turtles- TAKE BINOCULARS! Especially if you are there December to April.

(from onsite guestbook) Man, we hate leaving! You can't beat the view from the lanai. We had scenic breakfast and lunches-better than any restaurant on Maui. The condo was great! We felt very comfortable here and we'll recommend it to all our friends and family. Thanks, the Lehmans

(from onsite guestbook) What a beautiful spot! The whales were unbelievable! Of the many time we've been to Maui, this is the most wonderful spot! During the day whales, turtles and bright blue fish, even a few dolphins in the distance. At night the white foam of the waves, cresent moon on the water and well lit cruise ships! What a feast for the eyes! The condo itself is everything we need. Thank you for the wonderful time we've shared there!
