A Lovely Spot!!

We enjoyed our stay very much in this lovely condo. We stayed for a week in July. Everything was beautifully presented, and clean. The bed was nice and comfy. We never needed to use the air-conditioning, ceiling fans and having the doors both ends of the condo open worked well. Although we did notice those above us had their air-conditioning going 24/7. We enjoyed the lovely pools on the property. We also liked the fact that it was on the end of south Kihei, yet close enough to the different shopping complexes. We enjoyed exploring all the beaches further south of the condo. Enjoyed snorkelling at the Dumps twice, especially seeing the turtles there. Other highlights for us was the road to Hana, and a day spent exploring upcountry and the crater. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to others, it is in a great part of Kihei, and we would love to stay here again. Thanks Sue for the use of your lovely home.

A True Vacation

What can I say except that Sue and Leo have done an outstanding job of making their condo a 'true' home away from home. Their condo has an ideal ocean view with privacy; the king bed in the master bedroom is soooo comfortable;the beach chairs and toys were so convenient and the condo was exceptionally clean and provisioned just like 'home'. We had a few hic-cups, just normal wear and tear like the timer on the dryer wasn't working, and Sue jumped on our email immediately and had an appliance repairman out the next day. The Condo is located in a perfect spot for accessing beaches, snorkeling, shopping and restaurants and ooh, the gardens at this complex are like none other. It is a beautiful complex with flowers and mature trees everywhere - wait until you see the 'Oasis' pool - it's to die for! We came home truly feeling like we had relaxed and have our fingers crossed that we can return next year - but this time for an entire month! Thank you Sue and Leo - it was a pleasure dealing with you and we appreciate your entrusting us with your wonderful Maui home. Jim & Gloria

Owner response:Mahalo for your kind words. It's gratifying to have nice guests like you! I hope you will join our 'regulars' who return often. I think the guests who appreciate I-115 most are those who have visited Maui before, staying 'elsewhere'. We like to exceed expectations!

Aloha.....This is our 5th consecutive year visiting this lovely condo! What to do, what to do? Escape tedious routine, look at or visit Haleakula, drive the road to Hana, sit in the sun, sit in the shade, read a good book, relax at the poolside, buy fresh local Kula fruits and veggies from convenient local markets, enjoy local Maui beef, attend the swap meet in Wialuku, watch the Humpback whales or go on a whale watch, enjoy a glass of wine over-looking the beautiful waters of the Pacific Ocean, play in the sparkling blue ocean waters, snorkel, walk a choice of beaches, golf, rent a bike or a scooter, dine in style or in comfort, sleep like a baby, love being alive, take in the flora and fauna of the beautiful Island State.....do it all from the comfort of MK I115. We have appreciated all the upgrades that Sue and Leo have made to this well equipped and comfortable condo over the years, enhancing the pleasure of a relaxing and exciting holiday. What more can be said except, make sure you taste the coconut pudding ice cream and other delicious flavours from the Maui Rosalini Dairy ....see you next year. J and P, Edmonton, AB

Owner response:Mahalo for the kind words, and mahalo for all the fun suggestions for future guests. It's nice to know our refurbishing is appreciated. We know you have friends staying in other condos throughout Maui Kamaole. We're a little proud that you continue to choose I-115!

This was our third time staying at I-115. As always, the condo was very clean & well stocked. Appreciate the beach chairs & towels, cooler & library of books. Love sitting on the lanai for breakfast & the short walk to the beach for sunset & to connect with the Heritage trail for the oceanside hike into Wailea. It's so nice not to have the fight the crowds at the pool like you do at a resort. Plenty of chaises available & never crowded. Owners are great to work with & very responsive to any issues that come up. Can't wait to return next year!!

Delightful Condo

Really enjoyed our stay in Maui Kamaole I-115. We always enjoy cooking many of our own meals while travelling, so we took full advantage of the well-stocked kitchen, as well as using the grills (gas) located in the complex. Particularly well situated for activities in Kihei, Makena, Wailea, but not really too far from anywhere on the island. We found the condo itself to be well taken care of and very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.

Owner response:I'm happy you felt 'at home' at I-115. Hope you grilled some good fish from the Eskimo Candy fish store in Kihei!

This is our 2nd stay at this beautiful condo. We stayed July 7th thru July 14th this trip and enjoyed every minute. Not only is it well maintained, but it has all the extras that you could possibly think of: coolers, beachchairs, boogie boards, sand toys. The kitchen is well equipped. Thank you for the starter kit of paper products, shampoo, kitchen soaps, laundry soap. We arrived late and the key waa easily accessible. We can't wait to go back to our home away from home! Thanks Sue and Leo.

Owner response:It's always nice to hear back from returning guests. Ten couples and families come back often for stays of two to six weeks. Some found our condo on their first visit to Maui; they enjoy coming 'home'. Guests who have paid more for less on Maui are even more appreciative of a well-maintained, comfortable 'home'. Before buying at Maui Kamaole we rented our share of 'bare bones' condos with hard chairs, 40W lamps, questionable carpeting, non-cooling A/C units and noisy ceiling fans. No more! We want to be comfortable, and we want the same for our guests. We know we can rely on our 'fussy cleaner' and on our agency to keep everything in top shape -- for us and for guests. Maui is even more enjoyable from 'home' at Maui Kamaole I-115.

Moira and I stayed at the Martin's condo from Nov 1-22nd 2009 5th time back to Maui. All we can say is a large thank you for allowing us to use your home. Spacious, exceptionally clean, plus the view was excellent. Sue/Leo you have a wonderful (unit I 115) and I know how busy you get as we wanted to be there same time next year. Each evening we sat out on the Lanai which overlooks the ocean and mountains. This is a place we would highly recommend to our friends and for those who take the time to read the comments. A great place to stay. Aloha/Mahalo from Moira and Don Ogg, Calgary, AB, Canada

We had the pleasure of staying in the Martin's condo for ten days in October. This was our 9th visit to Kihei; by far the Martin's condo is the best we have stayed in. We found the unit to be clean, quiet, and stocked with all needed amenities. The condo is conveniently located without suffering the hustle and bustle. The beaches are nearby and meals on the lanai are really enjoyable. Sue was extremely helpful with all questions. We recommend this unit readily, we will be returning.

We stayed in this unit in August 2009. There were 4 of us and we found the condo to be very spacious. The lanai faces the northwest so we were able to enjoy that space without the sun beating down on us. We enjoyed using both pools, both a short walk from the condo. We also enjoyed Maluaka beach, about 5 minutes south, and seeing several green sea turtles. This is a great condo in a very nice area, perfect starting point for beach activities and for visiting Haleakala or the Road to Hana.

We spent a wonderful and relaxing 12 days in your condo. The view of the ocean was great and condo was so quiet and restful and very well equipped even down to beach toys for our granddaughter! The pools and hot tub were great with so much ambience with flowers and lighting. We couldn't have asked for more!!
