Aloha Laura!

We just returned from Maui a few weeks ago, and we are still in mourning! We miss your beautiful condo at the Maui Sands. We loved the sound of the ocean while we were falling asleep, and we enjoyed our morning walks along the reef. We have stayed in Maui before, and your condo is in an ideal location. We will definitely stay there again (hopefully real soon). You have stocked your kitchen perfectly, and you have done a beautiful job decorating it in tasteful island style. The washer and dryer were so helpful, and the courtyards were played in by our children each day. We used the grills and we loved eating every meal on the beautiful lanai. Thanks for the TLC you have put into your condo! Until next time. . .Christine

Mahalo Laura,

We recently stayed at your condo, March 23 through the 27th.
I want to thank you for the wonderful time we had at your home. The sound of waves and the beautiful view were such a change for those of us who live in the Midwest. Thanks again for letting us stay at your piece of paradise.

We just returned from our vacation in Maui. The condo was everything as promised and the bed was really comfortable. The view of the the whales was fabulous and we saw a lot of activity in the mornings. We found Maui Sands centrally located to most places and easy walking distances to stores, farmers market and beach access. The complex was quiet clean and people staying there were generally friendly. We hope to return soon and see some of the sights we missed due to the rain.

We stayed at the Maui Sands 4E with our five year
old twins for 9 days in October It was such an ideal
location for our family! The unit was spacious,
clean and well stocked with everything we needed
to play at the beach, cook all of our meals and have
all the conveniences of home. We loved having in-
suite laundry! We started every morning having
coffee and breakfast on the lanai and seeing who
could be the first to spot a sea turtle and we ended
our days watching the sun set into the sea. The
proximity to the beach was perfect and we felt so
safe having our children play in the water because
of the reef. They loved racing up and down the
beach watching little fish swim in the water beside
them. We were impressed with the snorkeling we
could do between the two reefs. Amazing! Within
two weeks of being home we have booked another
trip to Maui for next summer and of course we will
be staying at our Maui "home" - Maui Sands 4E.

Can't wait to get back!

Laura,
The condo was a perfect getaway from all the fires we were having in San Diego. My parents were amazed how close the condo was to the ocean! The views from the balcony are spectacular, and the condo itself was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable, and the drawers came in handy for a week long stay. The full kitchen was great as well. We also stocked up at costco, and barbecued out on the grill... some of the best steaks I've eaten in a long time.

My whole family had a blast on Maui, and your condo was great to come home to each night after zip-lining, biking down volcanos, hiking up waterfalls, snorkeling, and seeing all the wild life in Lahaina on Halloween. I would definitely stay here again!

Mahalo!

We had a great time in the condo - we like the location a lot.
Can't believe the 9 days went so fast, and we come back to FALL weather here in the Bay Area....yuck!

Anyway, thanks much.....we can see why you love your place so much. It was great to have the Washer and Dryer in the unit itself. That was a Big PLUS for Linda.
We hope we left it the way you would.....

Anyway, thanks again....

Thanks Laura,

It was the best. The view was better than we could have imagined. You have a beautiful home. We did exactly as you recommended, we stocked up at Costco and ate almost all of our meals at home and saved a bundle. We snorkeled every morning/evening just outside the unit. Saw a turtle one day! We hope to return again some day. Thanks again.

We had a fabulous time in Maui and the unit was wonderful. It is newly remodeled and very nicely decorated. The location couldn’t be better – it truly is right on the ocean. Also just minutes away (walking) from the coffee shop, farmers market, grocery store, and several small deli/restaurants for take out or eat in. The sound of the waves coming in, the sunsets, the whales – it couldn’t have been better!! A perfect place for us to kick back and enjoy some great family time... We will be back...

Laura, Les and I have only been home a week and
are ready to return.
Your condo and it's ocean front location are ideal
for getting away from the fast paced day to day
living here on the mainland.
As previously written, the sounds and views of the
ocean, quality and comfort of the accommodations
and overall value of the condo make it high on our
list for repeat vacations.

Thanks again, Steve

Laura - thanks for a week at your special getaway. The four of us were very comfortable and couldn't get over how close the unit was to the waves. We loved sunsets and whale watching on the lanai, walks on the beach, surfs out front and falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Great beds too...some award winning sleeps! Overall the unit was very well setup and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Hope to return again soon.

This condo is extremely beautiful. You can hear the waves the entire time since it is so close to the beach. The bed is very comfortable. The island style of the furniture and condo makes you feel right at home. You will enjoy the beautiful view from the Lanai and the easy access to the beach. This condo is definately a 4 star experience with the amenitis and everything you need right at your fingertips. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful place and we hope to return soon.

We had a wonderful week and the condo was very comfortable and attractive. I think it would be hard not to have a great week on Maui as it’s a magical place, rainbows and all.

Thanks so much and very good wishes for the New Year,

Laura,
So nice of you to check up on us, we were so impressed with how quickly we got the new T.V. ! We really loved the condo, we had room for everyone and the best part was that huge couch, we did alot of relaxing! We loved the beach and the waves that were right outside our door. Our vacation really went so well and thanks again about being so prompt about the T.V., that really was a nice suprise.
The T.V. worked fine the first night we got there and then the next morning when we turned it on it had the white lines in the picture, we hadn't even opened up the shutters yet, so I don't think it was wet, since the shutters were closed when we got there, but a bigger stand that blocks it from the weather might help. I don't think it would block the view much, since the big sliding door is right next to it. We truly enjoyed our trip and your lovely condo, your decorations are perfect and add so much! thanks again, april

Laura, We had a really great time at your place. It is always difficult to pick a place out of a website because pictures aren't always doing justice to it.
Your condo surprised us in a good way. It is spacious, very clean, and well equipped. The view is top notch so we really could not hope for a better place to stay.
We took good care of everything and tried to leave the place the way we found it. Overall, our stay was great, we had a bit of rain on Tuesday but that did not stop us to go surfing. So thank you again for allowing us this time frame on such short notice. Will definitely contact you next time we plan a trip to Maui.

Our family stayed here in early Nov '06 (two children). The condo was comfortable, clean, and recently remodelled with a great balcony directly overlooking the Pacific. It is well-stocked, with lots of kids beach toys as well. Definitely highly recommended.

We loved every minute. The unit is great - besides the incredible location steps from the water, the unit is beautifully decorated and the kitchen equipped with everything you need. Location is located close to markets and beaches but unit makes one feel truly away from it all. We stayed here with 3 adults and 1 toddler and it worked out perfectly. We intend to come back and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone!

- Two grandparents, two parents, two young grandchildren) really enjoyed our stay here in the first week of Oct '06.
- The property has been substantially updated and is beautiful. It is light-filled and breezy with new furnishings and appointments.
- The setting is beautiful: second floor overlooking the ocean which is only 10 feet away. The sound of the surf fills the apt all day and night.
- The location is great: near golf courses and snorkeling beaches, near to inexpensive restaurants (and expensive ones if desired), in an area of slow-paced relaxation.
- We'll be back.
