My dream vacation has always been to be
surrounded by palm trees, to be just a few
footsteps from the ocean, to wake up every
morning to a majestic sunrise, to doze off under
more stars than I've ever seen and fall asleep with a
quiet breeze and the sound of the ocean waves. I
had no idea that what I have always imagined
actually exists, and it is here at Lauloa #111 in
Maalaea Bay. I was instantly engulfed by a sense of
serenity and peace I have never felt before in my
life. The view from the private lanai is exquisite
and overwhelmingly beautiful at all times of the
day. The location feels utterly remote, but you are
walking distance from the necessities and just a
short drive to some of the greatest beaches and
best snorkeling in the world. Due to a cancelled
flight, the airline put us up for one night in one of
the best resorts on the island. But the amenities of
the hotel did not even compare to the privacy, the
comfort, and the overall sense of home offered by
Susan and Greg's place. I highly recommend their
condo to anyone who is looking to make a dream
come true, have one of the greatest adventures of
their lives, discover what peace and true beauty
really are, and gain a whole new perspective on life.
Thank you for sharing your home, Susan and Greg.
I am so grateful for this experience. |

| We spent 2 weeks here in March/April 2009. The condo was very clean and well appointed. The view from the lanai is outstanding and the whales put on a great show during our stay. the grounds, especially the grass were very well maintained. We have stayed in other condo complexes in Maalaea Bay and Lauloa #111 is our favourite so far. It was very quiet and private and we would not hesitate to recommend this unit to others or return ourselves. Thank you Greg and Susan for the use of your beautiful condo. |

| A gorgeous, clean and peaceful place to stay--very relaxing. Loved being close to everything. The best part was the many whales we watched from our lanai. Will stay here again without a doubt. |

| What is so special about this condo is the huge private lanai area with the lovely lawn and flower garden. I loved lying out on the chaise lounges while reading a book and sipping a cool drink. You just don't have that kind of space on the upper floor condos where you are confined to a small balcony. I felt as though I was at a private home instead of a busy condo complex like so many others. The condo itself is beautiful with all the amenities. Great location loved the walks on the quiet non crowded beach. Beautiful view. Wish I was there enjoying it now. |

| Wonderful condo. Beautiful setting. Very quite. They've thought of every detail to make you feel at home. Thanks for sharing with all of us! Susan was great to work with. Can't wait to get back here again. |

| My wife and I spent a great week at the Brannin's condo in 2008. we loved the proximity to everything and the view, right out the front door, is spectacular. The condo was clean and well appointed and we would not hessitate to visit again ourselves or recommend their condo to others. |

| Our family vacation in August 2008 was fantastic. The condo was amazing and the central location was wonderful - not too far from anything. The grounds and view outside the patio doors were breathtaking. We ate breakfast and dinner on the lawn just outside of the condo and enjoyed fabulous sunrises and sunsets every day! We snorkeled right in front of the condo and saw several sea turtles swimming in the coral! Several evenings we enjoyed walking down the nearly deserted beach just a few complexes from the condo. The condo had every amenity and made our trip one that our family will always remember. Thanks for sharing your absolutely wonderful home with our family! |

| This condo is and its location is spectacular. I have vacationed on Maui about a dozen times but my stay at your condo was the best ever. It was so, so quiet and relaxing. I look forward to staying at Lauloa #111 again and again. |

| This is a terrific place. If you're adventerous and plan on touring all day this central location is great. If you want to sit back and chill out all day away from the hussle and bussle of the main beaches there's no place better (we didn't get the strong winds either in April 2007) For us quiet and clean were important and this place is just that. I echo all the other comments. |

Best place to stay in Maui! Beautiful, comfortable
and wonderful location. The condo is beautifully
appointed and has all the creature comforts anyone
would desire on vacation. The location is great. the
condo faces the water, which is just a few steps
away from the patio off the living room and master
bedroom. When I was there I saw mother whales
and their babies frolicking just off shore! The
complex is small, quiet and very private, yet it is
easily accessible to everything Maui has to offer in
entertainment, dining, and daytime jaunts. |

Susan,
We did have a great vacation and we could easily stay at your condo again. The condo itself is very nice(thanks again for the bottle of wine!) and the central location was perfect for a first timer to Maui. We loved being able to walk to the beach and to the harbor where we boarded the dive boat, and it was also nice to have a few shops and great restaurants within walking distance.We snorkled in front of the condo every day as the water was very warm and saw quite a few fish as we ventured out further toward the breaks.
Anyway, we had a great relaxing time and I do not know what more you could have done to make it better! I appreciate all of the pre trip advice!
Mahalo,
Monica and John

| Everything was beautiful during our stay. We enjoyed the view so much that we ate almost every meal from the patio, after all, what you would pay to eat out with those views would cost more than the condo. The location can't be beat if you are active and want to explore everything that there is to do on Maui. We even used Susan's suggestion about our Jeep rental and were very happy. I would not hesitate to recommend this unit or to stay there again. |

Great condo and great view! If you want a quiet place to stay, this is it. We got married in Maui and we really enjoyed staying here. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to explore our neighborhood since there were too many things to do. We didn't even get to enjoy the plasma tv. hahaha...there was no time to watch tv and I can't say we missed it. Mahalo!

| Everything was perfect for our vacation. Our daughter and son-in-law joined us and both families enjoyed staying at the condo. We couldn't ask for anything more, the location was perfect for us and it gave us an opportunity to visit the south, central and Hana area. We enjoyed being able to sit out on the lanai watching the surfers, whales and sea turles. Your condo is so nice and provided us with all the conveniences needed to make this a memorable vacation. |

I researched a place to stay for almost 5 months. In
the end I finally chose Lauloa 111! We just loved
this condo! It may be hard to imagine, but the
pictures don't do this place any justice. It not only
has amazing views, but the condo is immaculate,
incredibly well stocked, with every detail thought of
(like nightlights and ice packs for the cooler!)
Susan, the owner, was so very helpful and patient
answering my many, many questions. She offers so
much more than other rentals, such as discount car
rental suggestions, restaurant recommendations,
etc. They are wonderful people and the clearly take
pride in their Maui home - and it shows! The
complex itself was clean, very well maintained,
quiet and the pool was never crowded! The location
is just as Susan describes - perfect and centrally
located to everything. After having been on Maui
for 9 days, I can say I would not only choose the
location/area again, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay
in this unit again! By the way, the wind was never
an issue for us! Rent with confidence! Aloha!! |

Our stay was wonderful in every way. A beautiful location and a comfortable and well appointed condo. We plan to return in August and are looking forward to that visit already. Ma'alaea has it all. Thank you Greg and Susan, what a fabulous place!

| We wish to thank you for our beautiful vacation stay in your lovely condominium. Your ocean view from your living room, master bedroom, or patio was spectacular. The short walk to the Maalaea Harbor provided fine resturants, sunset cruises, sports fishing and scuba trips. The world class aquarium was one of the best we had ever visited. Your condo location is unique. It takes 15 minutes to the Maui airport or Costco and approx. 20 to Lahaina making our side trips very short. The short walk to miles of white sandy beach,with so few people, was a real treat. We look forward to returning to Maui and your beautiful condo. |

| Hi Susan, thanks for letting us spend our first 8 nights at your Place it was wonderful. Your unit was awesome and we loved the complex. We enjoyed the great views and having the ocean just steps away was awesome. Next time we will stay all 16 nights at your place, thanks again. Ken |

Hi Susan and Greg,
We just returned and our vacation was wonderful and at least in part because of your condo. It looks great and had everything we needed. It was perfect. You met or exceeded all of our needs and expectations.
We did a lot of the usual tourist stuff (sunrise on crater, road to Hana, luau, etc.) and were still able to occasionally enjoy the view right out the back door.
Anyway, we very much enjoyed and appreciated you allowing us to come into your home. If/when we return, we will surely look you up.
Kind regards,
Debbie and Jim

| "Spectacular" doesn't even do justice to this oceanfront condo. Never, in half a century, have I stayed anywhere with more splendid views, better location, or more comfortable accommodations. You are literally twenty feet from the water-- with breathtaking views of the bay, mountains and two nearby islands. We stayed here when moving from Chicago to Hawaii. I can't give higher praise than to say that, even though I already live in the islands, I yearn to stay here again. Perfect place... perfect space... perfect hosts! |

| My husband and I stayed at the condo in May 2007 and enjoyed our stay. The unit was comfortable and had a great view. As the condo is on the ground floor, there is no railing to look through, which we liked. There is a wonderful, long beach close by, which is great for walks. |

| Great condo, beautiful view (looking straight out at the Molokini crater), good location on the water and within a short walk of an uncrowded white sand beach. Susan was a pleasure to deal with. |
