(returning guest)Hi Wen-Lin,There are so many additions you put into A112, I always forget to thank you.You won't believe how tall the palm tree behind the bedroom courtyard wall has grown. That area is now cool & shaded most of the day.The new washer & dryer will forever be a marvelous wonder & I've appreciated the new Pyrex baking dishes. We've also enjoyed the use of the lanai chaise lounge especially since it has a more comfortable cushion. Hope you & family are happy and well.Aloha, Janet

(returning guests) Hi Wen-Lin, We've had a great time in Maui. Hard to believe that this is our last week. We'd also like to book for the next couple of years thru to Dec 2014. Everything in the condo is good. We've had to replace the bulb in the fixture over the dinning table. I purchased an LED bulb because it's energy efficient and long lasting (15 years). It cost $30.18 (owner's note: small items purchased are reimbursed immediately on guest credit card). Aloha, Jim

(returning guest) Hi Wen-Lin, Good Evening to you. It's Tues morning here and we are about to drive towards Lahaina to see if we can see some whales a bit closer. Other than going to the beach, our big outings have been to the MAAC on Sat night to see Willie K (great show- I love the venue) and to the Hallimaile last night for dinner (it was my birthday and it was every bit as good as its reputation is). It's been another great stay! I'll be in touch. Jan

(guest emailed after stay) Just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful stay at both your condo's They were both spotless and we instantly felt at home in both. We really enjoyed the sunsets from A112, and looking for gecko's around the complex. You really thought of everything to make a stay perfect, there was nothing that could be added to make it more enjoyable. The blender really came in handy at night to make nice cool refreshing smoothies and frappicino's. We would definately stay again and highly recommend your condos. Your instructions and all the helpful material you sent were wonderful. Mahalo Wen-Lin Kathy and John Kamloops BC Oct 2011

Hello Wen-lin, I'm writing you from my phone today as the laptop battery is dead, please forgive any typos that may come up. Everything was fantastic! We will have all the towels washed and in the dryer and the bedding in the washer to help the housekeeper. Dishes will all be put away and trash removed. Thank you so much for letting us use your condo, we were extremely happy to call this home during our honeymoon! Maholo and much Aloha, Justin Grants Pass, OR Sep 2011

“A112 - best condo I've ever stayed in”

Guest: Paul and Terri (Talent, OR)
Date of Stay: 09/03/11 Review Submitted: 11/26/11

(Posted by Guests on TRIP ADVISOR; but did not inform us, one of our other guests saw this and emailed us the link) A112 is rented by the owners and not through the management of the complex. It is an extremely well maintained unit. We have stayed here twice, and there were improvements over the first time when we thought it was perfect. The kitchen is very well equipped, which seems to be the exception rather than the rule in condos. The owner is wonderful to deal with, and the price for this unit is well below anything comparable. I only wish I could start every day with the view from the lanai!

We had a great time in Maui and loved the condo. Before we left Jamie said she already missed the condo. We definatly want to stay there for our wedding next year.We dont have the exact dates yet but when we do I will contact you. We will want the one bedroom unit as well as the 2 bedroom unit. We would like to contact other owners that you might reccommend in the area. We expect our wedding date to be may 17th but it may change if we are not able to get the venue we want. I hope we left the unit in a satisfactory condition. This was our first time in a condo and we do not know the usual protocols or standards. We did a load of sheets and towels before we left. We left some cheese and butter in the fridge, maybe the next renter will not have to purchase that. We also left some spices and rice. Hope that was ok. Thank you for allowing us the use of your gorgeous condo. We look forward to staying with you again in the future. Jamie and Todd, Peyton, CO, May 2011

(returning guests; emailed from condo) We stopped at Safeway on our way in and arrived while Wendy was still here but had a lovely rest sitting on the lanai while she finished. The new chair is wonderful! It is very comfortable and our preferred seating. It is so nice to be here again. *** Wish you could all come over. You should see the new washer and dryer. They are a miracle of modern invention. I have been using the make-up remover pads. They are a great idea and should save your washcloths. All is going well and your palm tree is growing taller than the wall. *** Hello from Maui. This has been a big day. We have been involved in a two day bridge tournament on Friday and Saturday. It was a beautiful day here so we washed down the lanai. We also took up John's suggestion that we assemble the new lamp in the storage closet. It is just what we need to read and do my needlepoint. Also, Ralph just told me to take a picture of the new washer and dryer. He thinks we need one to save on water in Eugene. Much Aloha, Janet, Eugene, OR

(emailed from condo; returning guests) We just love the new loveseat which is great for the two of us to use our Kindles. The new washer and dryer look great also. Thanks so much for upgrading the condo all the time. We just love it here. We have been sitting outside drinking Maui dark rum with juice and the weather is perfect. My sister called and said they already have 5 inches of snow today. We are so glad we are here!!!! ********* We just bought some wine to go with my meal tomorrow. We also purchased some scallops at the Eskimo Candy fish market and will be having a feast tomorrow night. We're taking my brother and his girlfriend to Mamas Fish House for our wedding anniversary on Saturday so I'll get my B-Day dinner then. Too expensive to go out for both occasions and I love cooking in the condo. I can't believe how cheap the proteas are here. For $9.00 I got a huge bouquet at the Farmer's Market. I keep fresh flowers in the condo throughout our trip. We can't wait for the Packers/Bears game on Sunday. It's strange having a football game on at 10:00 a.m. There are a lot of Packer fans in Maui and a few in the condo. At 10:00 a.m. I'll have to serve Mimosas to my brother and girlfriend. : ) Thanks again!

You have made some great changes, The love seat is really beautiful, I love the art (elephants in the bathroom) and the washer and dryer look amazing. It is so wonderful to open the door and now you are just minutes away from a relaxing holiday. We will need to coordinate our move later on, but for now we just want to relax and soak in the air. As always, we thank you for the opportunity and privilege to be apart of the A112 loyal clients. Enjoy your New Year’s and Much aloha.

(emailed after stay; returning guests) Sorry for the silence since we stayed at A-112. We came home the 23rd of Dec, then went straight to Charlotte for Xmas with the Grandkids. Anyway, we've been a little wrapped around the axles with some family things but are doing good. Just wasn't able to slow down to even say Thanks Again for all you've done; and let you know that we really enjoyed the trip. It was steady, not too busy, nice. We went to Haleakala (first time since 2004) and were two of about 10 people up there. And it was CLEAR out too... you could see the big Island! Very nice. We didn't get up early to do Haleakala - we just went up after sunrise, like 9am or so. It was still the most fantastic thing. Everything was crystal clear... look at this shot I am attaching of the crater! Unreal! And we also went to the needle (Iao Valley) this trip - first time. That's the second pic. Anyway, more later but, just wanted to say thanks again. It was a really nice stay for us. Mahalo and Hope all is well with you, John and Kiki, Your renter-friend :-), Mike North Augusta, SC

(guest emailed after stay; tried to rebook following year but dates were not available) Joyce and I are back in Juneau, fairly tired from a delayed flight to an overnight stay in Anchorage and short sleep before the final leg home to Juneau. Thankfully, we've got indelible mental images of sunny beaches, an inviting ocean and lovely hours productively spent doing not much of anything. Altogether, our time in Maui was as close to perfect as we could hope for: relaxing, comfortable, restful. Much of the success of this trip we owe to your excellent accommodations. It was such a pleasure to stay at A112. I'm pretty sure that time spent on the lanai is not subtracted from our earthly span of years. Thank you for your insistence on quality and your thoughtful attention to detail. It all made for a wonderful vacation. I hope we left the condo in the condition you would like to find it after a stay, but there were a couple of loose ends; I suspect there always are. Food: we planned as well as we could, but we just couldn't consume everything, so there are a few items in the fridge. I hope Wendy can make use of them. We decided not to purchase binoculars, because we were reluctant to commit you to prices that can range from inexpensive to exorbitant. We actually got along fine without. Once again, staying at your place was in large part responsible for our having such a wonderful time. Joyce pointed out that the beautiful grounds of Maui Kamaole, the relative quiet, your high quality furnishings, all contributed to our enjoyment of Maui. We'll certainly keep you in mind the next time we think about a trip to the island. And we've already begun bragging about you to friends, two of whom are regular Hawaii visitors and who seemed very interested in our description of your place. Aloha, and thanks again.

(guest emailed during stay) Sorry we weren't here to take your call, but we were distracted somewhere in paradise, probably the beach. The condo is lovely! You weren't kidding about your personal touches and attention to detail. We are very impressed. We're very happy to be your customers. We'll take notes, and if anything goes wrong or seems out of place, we'll let you know. We really like the coverlet on the bed. Did you find that locally? We'd be interested in getting something similar for our home. So to summarize, we're about a ten out of ten for our Maui vacation so far. Thanks for providing a great place to stay. As Joyce's student's say, you rock! Dana and Joyce (Juno, AL)

We would like to book A112 it for a month beginning December 27th. ********* Wow, Wen-Lin sounds like you are having quite an adventure getting here. You don’t need that after the stressful week you’ve been through. We’re packed up and are about to leave (plane departs at 9pm).

The weather was perfect, the condo had everything we needed & was the perfect place to relax and watch the ocean. We had some fabulous meals – especially at Mama’s Fish House and went snorkeling & whale watching. The road to Hana was an adventure & views/waterfalls beautiful. This has been a great holiday and we hope to return soon.

(comments from guest book) ALOHA! It’s April 4th – Easter Sunday – our last day on Maui. We are returning home after a GREAT 10 day vacation. This was our 6th trip to Maui and was just as fantastic as all the rest. Somewhat different – and surprising – was the experience of holding an octopus that was caught by some friendly local gentleman. And minutes later, two whales surfaced, not 200 yards from shore! As always, A112 was our very appreciated home away from home. Mahalo!

(emailed from condo; returning guests) As always, Dave and I are having a great time especially on the whale watches. Dave took the best pictures so far on this trip but the whales helped him out quite a bit. We are going on the Alii Nui every other day. The catamaran is new and what a beauty. They still keep the number of people very low unlike the other companies. I'm in love with Bev Gannon's cooking on this trip so we just have one more of her restaurants to go which is the old Sea Watch. I just discovered the Eskimo Candy fish market so I've been buying fresh seafood and fish daily and trying new recipes. Now for some condo news. We love the condo and the view. It never gets old. We feel it's our second home. I know we reserved for 2011 but we'd like to reserve for 2012 now if possible. We're off for the Wailea Beach walk before our whale watch Hope things are good with you!!!! We just love it here!!! ******** Sunset cruise was great as usual. Two hours on a boat is always wonderful not matter what. Off to the upcountry today. ********* Finished up our last night at the Tikki Lounge with a great band and pina colodas. Sad to go but we do miss our dogs. Thanks again for everything and hope the rest of the year goes well for you now that I'm not bleaching your linens with my face. : ) Aloha!!!

(comments from guest book) Aloha & many thanks for the use of your vacation home. The sunset views from your lanai were truly magnificent, home was very comfortable! We had a marvelous time snorkeling, boogie-boarding, BBQing & touring Maui. Our fav snorkel spot: Malua Bay, Makena (take very 1st right past Maui Prince Hotel to park). It’s a gentle bay for both swimming & snorkel – no need to take expensive tours as you can see all kinds of fish & even turtles near the shore. Cirque Polonesia was good; the Mala Restaurant at Marriott in Wailea was Excellent. I also enjoyed a LomiLomi at their spa too. Buzz’s Wharf is famous for their prawns. For sunsets: Makena Landin; also Mala Restaurant at Marriott in Wailea. Attended Sunday morning service at Keawala’i Church, Makena. Service was meaningful – both in Hawaiian & English; superb musicians & exceptional, friendly people. We certainly had a wonderful relaxing holiday to help us get through our Vancouver winters. Many thanks& our warmest Aloha.

We sure enjoyed our stay and our holiday was very restful. We loved having dinner on the Lani and watch the sun go down.

Looks like you just have enough space at the time they were talking about. They are such a lovely young couple. Let me know if they book with you. Thanks again. ********* After our friends viewing our photos, you may be getting a few more inquiries as they were totally in awe of your place. We cleaned up your condo a little before your official cleaner arrived - swept the floors, took care of all dishes, washed all the towels and took out all the garbage and recycling. Hopefully there was not too much left for John to do - probably the bedding and the bathroom. We tried to help out where we could and as time permitted. We would love to book with you again the future. Thank you again.

We had a wonderful time – drinking coffee on the lanai in the morning & then evening cocktails. The view is perfect. We had much fun – snorkeling on a Trilogy trip to Molokini, surfing lessons, and days at the beach. The waves at Big Beach were incredible! Our daughter had the best time and we were lucky to have family staying in other units here too. We found out that Mark’s daughter’s mother-in-law’s unit was your 2 bedroom condo. Small world.

I can't believe it was already a month ago. Eric's already planning the next trip in his head, so I'm sure we'll be back there same time next year. He just took another test, so keep your fingers crossed, and then he has one more in October, and we're hoping that will be it. We found a wonderful restaurant up in Kapalua in the old Kapalua Bay Club, called Merriman's. Fabulous food and great location. We also went up to Haleakala and had a perfect sunrise. No clouds in the crater at all, just in the horizon. Wonderful hike down Sliding Sands trail too. Two years ago we couldn't see a thing, in the crater, so this was wonderful. You have a safe 4th too and I'm sure we'll be keeping in touch later in the year! I'll attach a couple current pictures too. Thanks again for everything!

(emailed after visit; returning guests) We made it back to South Carolina - and we are still jet-lagged out. But we had a great time. We thank you for all you did for us. By the way, we went to Sansei (sp?) for a special early dinner. This may sound like an odd choice, but we never went to that type place before (sushi/seafood thing). But we really enjoyed it! We did all the towels (placed them back as they were), sheets - folded and back in the closet, and cleaned up the kitchen, put away (cleaned) all dishes, windexed the dining table and a couple of mirrors etc... All the stuff you would expect your guests to do. I also replaced a bulb in one of the hanging kitchen lights (was out when we arrived). Also, we left a good size styrofoam cooler in the closet. And 6 brand new, unopened bottles of water in the fridge for the next guests. It really isn't that much but we had to do at least all we could to say thanks - especially the staying late part. That made a HUGE difference! You were so right about that. Anyway, thanks again for everything. As soon as I finish this note, we are driving back to Charlotte to help our daughter with the grandkids again.. After that, I hope to spend a few days at home. Doing nothing. Except cutting the grass. Mahalo!

We have had another great holiday on Maui. We had some great beach days, a trip to Molokini on the Kai Kanani, wonderful snorkeling & saw 3 whales, mom, baby, & male escort. The golf was fun & enjoyable. We enjoyed some great meals out and at the condo. We loved your condo. It’s big and roomy, beautifully equipped. We have had a wonderful time here.

(comments from guest book; returning guests) We had a wonderful time in Maui and truly enjoyed your condo again! It’s like our home away from home. You thought of everything – it’s just perfect! We did a little bit of everything this trip including trying new restaurants. We look forward to returning again soon! Mahalo!

(emailed during visit; returning guest) Our first week has just flown by. Everything is going smoothly and we are enjoying all of the new comforts you and John have added. The new sheets and towels are a pleasure to use and although I must be the only guest using an iron I really do appreciate the new one. Thank you for leaving the full salt grinder and pepper mill. I even found some vodka and rum in my box. Thank you. It has been put good use. Love the additional storage bar in the shower and the plantings you have added on the left of the lanai. The new lanai furniture is very easy to clean and the chairs are especially comfortable. Ralph is enjoying watching the pro football this afternoon so I have a moment to catch up with my email. We are playing bridge at the Maui Bridge Center four times a week so I have reconnected with many old friends. Not enough energy left over to have people over for dinner, however. Feeding Ralph takes up enough time and I love walking the beach. Much aloha, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please accept my sincere apologies for phoning you so late in the evening and for such an unimportant issue. We were certain that the Maui cable company had decided to distribute a few converters on this side of the Pacific. You were both so calm and gracious at that late hour that we found ourselves quite embarrassed for having bothered you and possibly awakening someone. The tv's here are all in good working order, the sun is shining and the trades are gently blowing. Wish you could be here too. Aloha to you and Kiki.

(emailed after visit) I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the week at your lovely condo. All was just fine. All is in good working order. The bug spray man came yesterday. There weren't any bugs but it was the routine spraying. I've recommended your unit to a friend in Vancouver; she's interested in some time in the spring. New lanai furniture is very comfortable and new 600 thread count sheets were lovely. Now it is back to the miserable snow and cold that we are having in the Pacific Northwest; it is most unusual to have it cold and snowy this long in Vancouver - we'll miss the sun and warmth, snorkeling, etc etc. Aloha and happy holidays,

(comments from guest book) Lovely spot, great accommodations. Thanks for thinking of and providing so many things from beach chairs to salt & pepper shakers (with the condiments!) We had much sun, and swam, snorkeled, and played tennis. Always a sad time to leave, especially to go home to the “grey!”

(comments from guest book; returning guests)Thank you for sharing your A112 home with us once again. We had a fantastic week here enjoying the pool, beaches, & local restaurants. We also played golf & saw the sunrise at the summit of Haleakala, and went on a day trip to Lanai where we snorkeled & enjoyed the beach there as well. We loved returning to A112 each day, relaxing by the pool and visiting with other guests. You have a beautiful home here in A112, and again we thank your for letting us stay this past week. It is like home away from home with a much better view & a more relaxing atmosphere. We hope to be able to return in the future. When we do, we sure hope we can return to A112. Thanks so much …

(comments from guest book)It has been a fantastic 9 days in Maui, and we thank you for the use of you “little bit of paradise.”Michele and I had a great time on our 10the anniversary trip. We made it to the upcountry to purchase some local art, up to the volcano crater, and of course, lots of time on the local beaches. We really had a relaxing time by the pools here as well.Your home away from home is a great place for travelers to set their daily routines from, and has everything you could need.Thanks again!!

(emailed after visit)Well, I’m finally getting around to sending you our comments on the condo! Sorry, it’s taken so long. All in all, we loved the place! The location was perfect for us, and the views from the lanai were very relaxing. We liked being close to the beach, and close to the trail that heads south to Wailea. We were able to walk down to a couple of really nice beachfront dinners!Hands down, you have the best equipped kitchen of any condo we’re stayed in. In fact, next time we look for cookware, I’m going to try to find the Kirkland set you have. The beach equipment was a nice touch. The furniture was nice. And, it was all in good condition. That’s somewhat rare in Hawaii, unfortunately.We will return at some point.You asked me to give you some information on the place we staying on Kauai. It was a very mixed bag. The location was wonderful (Princeville). The views were great. The maintenance of the unit left a lot to be desired. We stayed at the Cliffs at Princeville. I think most of the complex is timeshare, with a few owner-rented units (we were in an owner-rented unit). That complex needs to spend some money on exterior work. And, the interior furnishings were more the standard condo faire. I’m probably going to look at other complexes in Princeville next time we go.Last, you asked to see my photos. Between dealing with about 2,500 images between the two of us and several software issues, I finally have everything uploaded. If you have any problems, let me know. The software is fairly sophisticated, but also a little flaky at times. But, it’s free. I have not had the time yet to Photoshop the pictures that need it, so some of them don’t look as good as I’d like. But, if there are any of them you want to use (and it won’t hurt my feelings if there aren’t), let me know and I can send you a file that’s more appropriate for a web page.
