Review Title : 324992 - "A little piece of paradise!"
"My husband & I were guests from Oct 10th - Oct 19th. The condo was very clean and decorated beautifully. Since it is located on the 6th floor (top floor) we were able to turn off the air-conditioning during the day, open the sliding doors in the living area and bedroom, and feel a great breeze throughout the condo. The view is fantastic and the condo quite relaxing. The beach area is not really a swimming beach, but a swimming beach area is only a short walk from the condo complex. The condo complex is very pretty, with a great pool, and very nice grilling area. Stores of all types are only a few minutes down the road, such as drug store, grocery stores, & multiple restaurants. Kihei has lots of beaches and it is ideally located on the island. While in Maui, the "must do" list is a visit to the Maui Tropical Plantation...taste the homemade ice cream....out of this world! (The tour was very informative too.). ALso, the Road to Hana...beautiful, a Luau, snorkeling, & dinner at Buzz's Wharf (pricey...but worth it).
Thank you Hera for providing us with the wonderful gift basket...the pineapple was the most delicious we have ever ate, along with all the other goodies. Thank you for providing us with such an affordable, homey, beautiful place to spend our vacation. We have fell in love with Kihei. We hated to leave....Aloha! "

Review Title : 314418 - "Very comfortabe place to experience paradise."
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hera's condo. She had incredible customer service and was so accomodating. She also had a welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived. The condo was clean and fully equipped with everything needed for cooking, cleaning, entertainment and basic living necessities. The view from the lanai is gorgeous, although the beach right by the condo is not the greatest. However, there are so many beaches within a close distance that this was never a problem for us. We would definitely recommend this condo to our friends and would love to stay there again should we ever get back to Maui. We really enjoyed learning to surf and would also recommend attending a Luau while you're in Maui. Hera also gave us great suggestions on where to shop to find the best prices which was really helpful. Some restaurants that we really enjoyed are The Five Palms, the Pupu Lounge and Sansei Sushi bar. Another piece of advice...rent a car and pick up the latest edition of "Maui Revealed" and don't leave home without it! The road to Hana was incredible and that book is the bible of Maui.

Review Title : 298221 - "Good condo - even better service!"
"This condo unit has panoramic view of the ocean, Ma'alea harbor, and those
amazing Maui sunsets. It was clean and well equipped with the usual (and
unusual, such as baby crib, boogie board, snorkeling equipment, IPod alarm
clock, etc.) amenities.
One thing that (pleasantly) surprised us was a call from the owner on the day we
arrived on the island! She called just to say thank you and asked us whether or
not our condo is in good condition! We mentioned that we noticed one of the 3
light bulbs over the vanity mirror in the bathroom was broken. Well, a short
time later someone from her property manager's office showed up with a fresh
light bulb and changed it. But thats not all ... we even had a welcome basket
of tropical fruits (mangoes, pineapple, and papaya). Now thats what we call
SERVICE!
Needless to say, if I'm lucky enough to go back to Maui in the future, I would
not hesitate to rent from her again.

Aloha Hera,
We'd like to thank you for a wonderful time we had in your condo in
Maui! Everything was perfect! We started every morning with a fresh
fruit smoothie at lanai with beautiful views over the bay!
Also, thank you for letting us use the snorkeling gear - for
snorkeling, we went to Turtle Town (at the end of Makena Road). If you
go early in the morning, the water is very calm and the views of the
corals and colorful fish are amazing (we went at the further side of
the beach closer to Molokini crater). We saw several turtles the last
morning we were there.
Mahalo and we cannot wait to come back!
Regards,
Nikita and Elena.

Return Visitors Westlake, Ohio.
Date Submitted: October 29, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
My wife and I have not visited Hawaii for quite a few years and decided to stay somewhere other than Kaanapali. We were told of this condo by a mutual friend, who highly recommended it. Hera's condo exceeded our expectations. The unit was just as described, quiet, with a beautiful view of the ocean from the sixth floor. The lanai extends the full length of the bedroom and family room, accessible from both rooms. The kitchen was fully equipped with both major and numerous small appliances. It also had a number of beach chairs, snorkels, masks and other accesories in the room. The availabililty of the laundry across the hall was great. The pool had a large number of lounge chairs available and wasn't crowded, although we were there in the off season. Shopping and restaurants were close, as were beach areas where you could snorkel or surf. We would highly recommend this condo for anyone who simply wants to get away from crowds and experience Hawaii.

We really enjoyed our stay
Kelly & Grant Seattle, WA.
Date Submitted: October 29, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We spent two weeks in your condo and were really pleased with our experience. It was clean and had all of the amenities you could need. We arrived to find a nice welcome basket. The owner even called to make sure everything was going well. We've never had that happen before with other rentals!
We were able to grill several times on the BBQ's by the pool which was fun for a nice quiet evening. The pool is clean (other than the leaves etc on windy days!). It was very quiet around the complex which made our relaxing vacation even better.
The great think about this condi is how centrally located it is to everything. Restaurants, groceries, attractions, golf, you name it. Its why we choose this location.
Traveler review for this vacation rental (175151) 5/5
More than we expected!

Good Unit - Highly Recommend
travelbug18 Washington USA.
Date Submitted: September 02, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Hera was very friendly and helpful over the reservation process. Her unit is exactly the way she has described, very good value for money. The welcome basket she has provided addressed to me personally was a bonus. The unit was clean and well-maintained. I love the kitchen being so fully-equipped, I can cook my children's favorite fried rice. Ice cubes were readily available when we arrived for a cold drink in the hot weather. The air-conditioning was great. I made very good use of the beach towels provided since we are at the water every day and those that I brought are just not enough to circulate. The best part is that Hera even provides the famous CD for the Road to Hana so we don't have to spend on that. The condo is quiet, hardly anyone using the swimming pool even though it's summer so we had the pool to ourselves. Also the unit is at 6th floor very close to laundry so we don't have to walk too far with the heavy laundry. The unit is close to restaurants, close to supermarket like safeway for grocery shopping, and close to shops for tourist activities like snokeling and surfing rental and lesson, also close to the Maalea harbor for snokeling trip to Molokini, very convenient.
I will definitely recommend this to a friend and will return to this unit if I go to Maui again.

Highly recommended!
Ming and Deryk North Vancouver, Canada.
Date Submitted: August 10, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed at Hera's condo for a week. From the reservation process through follow up upon our return, Hera's customer service was top-notch. This was our first condo rental and after reading horror stories about condo rentals online, we were a bit nervous and had a ton of questions; but Hera answered them quickly and made us feel very comfortable every step of the way. Our late night arrival meant we had to get keys from the lockbox, which we were nervous about but proved to be a cinch. The condo is in great shape and exactly as described in the pictures and video. Elevators and laundry room were conveniently located right outside the unit. The oceanview was amazing. We used the BBQ area, pool and hot tub which are very well maintained. Overall we highly recommend Hera and her condo to everyone without hesitation! Thanks again for such a wonderful stay!

Our 3 stays in this apartment
guglio Vancouver,B.C., Canada.
Date Submitted: June 10, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We have stayed 3 times in this lovely apartment,and have highly recommended it to members of our tennis club and our other friends.Hera,the owner,has been wonderful-she keeps checking to make sure everything is in order,and has upgraded the apt. with new tile flooring throughout. The amenities are excellent,with a good kitchen, large TV and internet hookup(free). The feeling is one of real welcome, and her nice welcoming basket is just one sign of this. She is always readily available should there be any questions. One of the things we really nlike is the bedroom, which has a great view over the ocean and West Maui. We'll be back Hera, and many thanks to you.

Relaxing in Paradise!
Thank you so much for renting us your condo! We enjoyed watching the windsurfers from the living room, and even caught the whales out froliking in the bay! The location was great, being close enough to resturants and shopping and yet private enough to walk forever on the sandy beach!
Thank you Hera for checking on us, and for the beautiful welcome basket! We truly hated to leave after our two warm and wonderful weeks! |

Most caring landlord and great location
Arnie Melbourne Beach, FL.
Date Submitted: Jan 08, 2008 Date of Stay: Nov 2007
We rented this condo from 11/13/07 to 11/20/07. The care and concern for her tenants (us) was shown by Hera Tunggal even before we departed our home in Florida. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a basket of Hawiian "goodies". The apartment was clean and recently completely renovated. It truly felt as if we were in a home away from home. The swimming pool, bar-b-que area, and hot tub were all very nice to come back to after a day of sightseeing. The apartment is on the sixth floor with both ocean and mountain views. I would (and will) recommend renting this unit to our friend and look forward to staying here again ourselves in the not too distant future. I wish that all of our rentals were as beautiful as this one. Again, thank you Hera for being so thoughtful.

Best Value on Maui
Steve k Minneapolis, MN USA.
Date Submitted: Feb 15, 2008 Date of Stay: Feb 2007
We love this unit! We have been staying in this unit since 2003 and stayed in this unit again for 3 weeks in February and March of 2007. The 6th floor views are breathtaking and the fact that both the bedroom and living room face the ocean is a plus. The building is about 700(?) yards from the ocean but has a sandy beach once you get there. That is important since not every condo property has a sandy beach. We have stayed in Kahana and paid 50% more for a unit that was not as nice as this unit. The furnishing are very nice and it has a comfortable bed! This unit is also air conditioned which is a real plus since very few of the condos on Maui are air conditioned. We recommend it to everyoe and have booked for this year.

Kihei paradise
Bob & Ileen Surprise, AZ (USA).
Date Submitted: Feb 23, 2008 Date of Stay: Jan 2008
This wonderful one bedroom, one bath condo on the top floor was very clean and well maintained. From the comfortable bed and hide-a-bed sofa -- to the TV equipped with video and CD players -- to the CD music player -- this condo has it all. The kitchen has extra appliances not found in all rentals, such as blender and small electric grill.
We received calls from the owner several times during our stay to make certain everything was in good order. The welcoming basket with Kona coffee and macadamian nut chocolates was a real treat.
The ocean and mountain views from both the living room and bedroom are gorgeous. We especially enjoyed watching the whales from the lanai with the binoculars provided.
This condo is easy to get to and is centrally located between Kahalui (airport, Wal-Mart, and Costco), Lahaina (outstanding shopping and dining in this old whaler's village), and Wailea (luxury resorts, shopping, and golf courses).
We thoroughly enjoyed our six weeks here and have already made reservations for eight weeks next year.
We certainly would recommend this unit to anyone who wants a relaxing and enjoyable time in Maui.
