Wonderful stay

Our extended family of 2 adults with 2 tots (age 4 and age 20 months), with grandparents, and 2 aunties stayed in this comfortable condo June 27, 2011 to July 4, 2011. The photos accurately depict the rental’s appearance, but really don’t do justice to the expansive view from the lanai(s). The bathrooms are all updated, the rooms are comfortable, and the common living areas were spacious and inviting. Kids and grandparents had no problems with the carpeted, shallow steps. The property is clean, well-maintained, and well-stocked (cooking supplies, water toys, DVDs, some board games and books, baby equipment, and of course, WiFi – which worked very well to upload our vacation photos). We didn’t find the need to buy much at all, outside of food and the fantastic fruits that Maui boasts. Travelling to Hawaii didn’t allow us to bring much, so we appreciated having a booster chair and a step stool for the tots. The owners were very helpful over email and over the phone regarding questions, and I would definitely recommend this property to others. Parking is just outside the unit. Airport Beach was great for the kids (as Kim recommended)...small waves - perfect for swimming, the tots and the beginner snorkelers. It’s a short walk down the hill or a very, very short drive if you’re lugging beach equipment. Even on the weekend, there was no problem finding parking in the beach parking lot. Whaler’s Village was a nice place to visit in the evenings, and downtown Lahaina was ~10 minutes south. It didn’t take long at all to get to Lahaina Harbor in the mornings for a couple of different excursions that we did (dolphin watch/snorkel and submarine ride). Location seemed perfect. We had a wonderful stay.

Thank you for sharing your condo. Eight days were great and ten would have been better. We found the unit exactly as depicted in the photos. Extra touch of condiments, seasonings, and water toys for us to use. Peaceful, quiet, restful area to relax after a day visiting the sights of Maui or the beach. Kim provided excellent directions from the airport to our home away from home. 10 minute walk to airport beach. When we were too tired to go to the beach, we enjoyed the pool. Recommend snorkeling at Black Rock to see the most sea life. Cool Cat and Cheeseburger in Paradise had excellent burgers. Luau at the Hyatt was a pleasant end to the week. Surf lessons from Goofy Foot with the CD of photos was a great experience for our son. Start early in the day for the drive to Hana and don't forget to pack a picnic. We would recommend this location for any group of 6-8. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Pete and Kim - Your condo was terrific. We, along with our son, his fiancee, daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter were lucky enough to spend 2 wonderful weeks in your home. There was plenty of room for everyone. Sitting on the lanai watching the whales was a favorite activity. We had everything we could possibly need in the kitchen. And the grounds were beautiful. We celebrated our granddaughter's 2nd birthday while there. That will be something for her scrapbook! We loved that the "pineapple man" was just a short walk down to the street corner, and Airport Beach was within walking distance. Thank you for being part of our wonderful vacation!

Thanks Kim for letting us stay at your home in paradise. We had a beautiful time. There was lots of room for the 6 of us and we particularly enjoyed watching the whales breach while having our breakfast on the lanai. The grounds were immaculate and quiet and very conveniently located to all the other shopping amenities. Unfortunately no early risers in this family but drove to many of the local beaches. We definitely plan to come back and will keep in touch. Mahalo! The Leone family

Pete and Kim, Just wanted to let you know we just returned from our vacation in Maui yesterday. Your condo and location are awesome! We had the best trip ever and being this was our 2nd time to Maui we spent most of our time trying out every beach on the island. It was so nice to come back to your condo. It felt like home to us. The grounds were immaculate and the pool was always "empty" so we enjoyed that also! You have a wonderful place there! We will be booking soon for next year! Thanks so much for a great place to stay on a beautiful island! The Steward family

We and our adult children enjoyed our one week stay at the condo. Saw whale spouts from the lanai, walked to the beach and enjoyed the convenience of stores nearby in the Honokowai area. Great access to Fleming State Park, Whaler's Village and Lahaina. Plenty of room; facilities were great. Working with Pete and Kim was a pleasure.

Aloha! We just returned from a glorious vacation on Maui. Our Condo was a wonderful home away from home. Pete was very gracious and informative which made our trip even better. The views and location were awesome. The beach just down the hill was our favorite. Everybody would get up each morning and go take a walk on it before breakfast. Mahalo Pete!
