Hi Joyce
Thanks for the update. Just so you know the condo was clean and tidy and as usual everything was perfect for our stay. Neil got into using the boogie board this time, while the kids enjoyed the pool again. We love Maui and especially we love your condo...hope we can swing another trip again next year...it is all dependent on flight costs.
Thanks again,
Susan

Hi Joyce,
We had a wonderful stay and the unit was excellent. We really appreciated that the kitchen was so well-equipped and all of the beach gear was also great. Our girls had lots of fun playing at Kam III beach, as well as several others on the island. We look forward to future Maui vacations.
Thanks and Regards,
Kamini

Hi Joyce, I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you again for renting your wonderful condo to us. Just got home on Tuesday night, we had a wonderful time, the weather was great every day! It's so nice to stay in a condo that is so well appointed we weren't missing a thing. Our daughter loved that she got to choose which bed to sleep in! We just got home but already I'm longing to go back it's just so lovely there. We took your recommendation and went on a semi-submersible boat trip, we also went to the crater, the goat farm (our daughter loved the 4 day old goats), the lavendar gardens and the winery. It was a nice relaxing holiday...just what we wanted.
Thanks again

We LOVED your condo and hope to rent again from you in the future, if possible. Your condo met our expectations in every way...it was just perfect for us and our family of four. The fact that you have twin beds in the den was perfect for us and our twin sons who do much better when they don't have to fight over the sheets of one queen bed. The condo was very clean upon our arrival and the kitchen was well supplied with plates, cups, utensils and cookware. The only suggestion I can think of is to supply more plastic cups for use by children. There is no need to apologize about the garbage disposal, the repairman came when he said he was going to and everything was in order when we returned from the beach.
Things have been very busy since our return from Hawaii, I meant to send you a proper thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condo. We had a magical time during our visit to Hawaii and a large part of it was due to how comfortable we were in our accommodations. We made good use of the beach umbrella and chairs which were available in the hall closet and we added two 37" boogie boards to the beach collection for use by your future renters. I did write a little about our stay in your guest book (such a nice idea). Now, I am in the "catch up" mode for everything which was put aside while we were gone!
Thanks again and mahalo,
Pamela

Hi Joyce,
We wanted to thank you for allowing us to use your condo, we had a wonderful time. It was very comfortable as if we were at our own home. We really appreciated the extras you provided. The boogie board, beach mats, noodles, beach towels and the cooler were a big plus. Not to mention how peaceful and private the patio was. We loved every minute of our time and can't wait to go back. We bought to much food so we left some behind and told your housekeeper to take some and leave what he felt could benefit the next guests. We also bought some sponges and paper towels because there was only a little of one roll left. We donated a small pool raft and a new beach mat. We hope we added to your home in a good way. All in all I can't say enough about our stay.
Mahalo,
Linda

Thank you Joyce,
We just arrived home yesterday. We spent 10 days in Kauai after we left your condo. We all really enjoyed your condo. The children enjoyed the second bedroom. The condo was well equipped, very nicely decorated and very comfortable. We will certainly contact you the next time we go to Maui.

thanks for everything, Joyce. The condo worked out very well and being so close to the pool worked even better for our girls. They loved it, and we loved the beaches in the area. We're already thinking about next year.
thanks again for everything.

Hi there.
We just wanted to drop a quick note to say a big thank you for sharing your place at the Maui Kamaole August 25 to September 2. We had a fantastic time on the island and are planning to go back again next year. I hope that your place will be available when we make that decision. It was perfect in every way.
Thanks again, Neil and Susan

Hi Joyce,
Yes, we found everything in good order when we arrived. Your instructions
noted that there would be two keys on the inside door, however there was
only one.
My husband is not a coffee drinker but got a chuckle out of your notes on
the coffee canister(unleaded/leaded). We were able to utilize the straw
mats for the beach and it was nice to have spare beach towels. We
especially liked that you have a security box...we kept all our inportant
documents for travel there...gave me some piece of mind.
Thanks again...I will make sure to keep your email address should I need to
inquire about future dates.
How often do you and your husband use the condo? We noticed that you have a
lovely family...hopefully they come over to enjoy it as well.
Susan

Dear Joyce and Ty,
Just a note of thanks for the use of your Condo in Kihei. We had a wonderful time, of course, and the weather, water and accommodations were wonderful. One of the highlights was - Discovering the reef just off of Kameole III and to our delight one morning - a turtle and a 6-7 ft white spotted eel amongst the other island fish. We also loved the view from the top of the Haleakala, and eating fresh tropical fruits and nuts everyday - plus time to relax, relax, relax......
Thanks again, we only wish we could have stayed longer. I think that is what keeps drawing us back.
Mahalo,
Jim, Jane, and Aaron

Thank you so much for the use of your condo. It was lovely and we had a very relaxing time. The unit was clean. We did end of seeing and swimming with the sea turtles out at Kanapali Beach. The kids are still so excited about that. My husband and son golfed quite a few times. We went to Lahaina every other day, and also made various day trips to Makawa and Paia. We had a great time, but it would be hard not to in Maui.
Thank you again for the use of your lovely condo. We so enjoyed our stay!

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us while we were in Maui. It was amazing and had all the comforts of home. We had amazing weather and were able to enjoy the pool and lanai everyday. You have made it a wonderful place to be and we thank you for everything. The crib was very convenient and made Ava's stay enjoyable. (Mommy and Daddy's too as she slept very well, and loved learning to crawl on your soft carpet.
We will definitely love to stay with you again, and have already recommended your place to family and friends.
Thank you.

Hi Joyce:
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful time on our holiday and that we really enjoyed your beautiful condo. It had everything we could need and the location to the pool and bbq's was great. Not having to bring a port a crib for our daughter was such a bonus as we were already pretty loaded down. Next time we go to Maui, we will definitely be contacting you to rent your condo again.
Take care and thank you again.

We arrived home late on Wednesday (we spent some time on the Big Island and Kauai after leaving Maui). We thoroughly enjoyed your condo and we had the best weather while on Maui. It rained every day while we were on the Big Island and Kauai. We will highly recommend your condo to others.

Your unit was great again. Everything met our expectations - so clean and ready for us to enjoy. Knowing your unit has taken away any concern about our housing and arrangements once we get to Maui. We hope it will be available the next time we return to the islands. Thanks again.

Hello, Joyce
We're back from our vacation, and I send you this email to tell you what a wonderful time we had in Maui and especially in your condo. You have a wonderful place there, very well equipped, in a fantastic facility (we loved the upper pool) and in a great location.
Thanks to have rented us your condo that made our stay a wonderful time.
Best regards,

Hi Joyce:
Our trip to Maui was wonderful, and Clayton and I enjoyed our stay at your condo. It was well maintained, peaceful, and I just love the setting of the smaller pool. We're fans of Maui Kamaole.

We had a wonderful time, your home was perfect. You need not change a thing. We were grateful for all the necessities (especially the beach supplies). We loved the location, enjoying daily walks into Wailea.
We will highly recommend you to anyone we know travelling to Maui and hopefully make a return trip in the near future.

Dear Joyce:
Thank you so much for your e-mail. I have been meaning to send you a note letting you know how much we enjoyed our time in your Maui home. The unit was clean and VERY comfortable. We think your furniture choices are so comfortable (I prefer your couch and coffee table to some of the glass and wicker ones in other condos) and the king size bed was an unexpected surprise.
Our son loved his time in the pool, and we loved being able to hear the watrfall from the unit. We spent many happy hours there, and on the lanai, although we did venture to the beach with him. The weather was perfect everyday, and we weren't ready to lave when our time was up!
My sister and brother in law were also in Maui with their children. When they arrived at our condo, they stated that our unit was much nicer than theirs, and we would have to agree. I think you are fortunate to have such a wonderful second home.
Maui is the perfect place to travel with a child, and we hope to return. We will certainly be contacting you regarding your unit when we do, and have already passed your name on to some friends.
Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

We have made it back to California after a great vacation! The condo worked out very well for us, it's a lovely place to stay!! We were out exploring a lot so missed your calls but we were glad to have the condo as our home base, lots of space and so clean and well equipped.
We enjoyed some fun rain during our first few days, a big difference from the rain that we returned to in LA. It's pouring here this a.m. and not at all warm like Maui. Then it cleared for a beautiful warm week, I was glad that most of our activities were booked for after the rain hit. We ran into two different families from our community while there -- such a small world.
Thanks for all of your recommendations and for providing such a nice rental experience. We all enjoyed our first visit to the islands.

Aloha, Joyce:
We returned from Hawaii late yesterday afternoon, after a long evening/day of travel. It was certainly depressing to leave such a beautiful place, as we loved both Maui and Kona.
We loved the comforts of your condo and had a great time there. We could not have stayed at a better place for our family. We barbecued a few nights, enjoyed the pool and appreciated the proximity of the condo to so many different sights. It was a great experience and you contributed to it.

Joyce,
My wife and I just returned home this afternoon after
spending 30 wonderful days at you home in Kihei. We had a
wonderful time and I wanted to drop you a note and thank you
for renting your condo to us.
This was the first time I have ever rented a vacation
property unseen on the internet and needless to say I was
apprehensive and a little nervous until I opened your front
door. It was absolutely wonderful and you have it decorated
so nice, too. It is far prettier than the pictures you
have on your web site. Everything....the pool, the BBQ
grill, the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. were so close
and conveniently located, we couldn't ask for anything
better.
All the kitchen appliances and other amenities that you
furnished made our stay just terrific. The beds were so
firm and restful as well. We felt so much at home it was
difficult to leave.
A couple of notes of interest: There are two sets of
swimming fins, but no other snorkel gear. Your e-mail to me
prior to our departure alerted me that items were missing
and we took our own gear, so that wasn't a problem. I had
an extra child's size snorkel that I no longer needed so I
left it for someone else to use.
The grass and plants in the yard are doing beautifully,
probably because of the exceptionally wet spring that they
had. The have even lifted the water rationing restrictions!
While they had rain and wind on the windward side of the
island, the weather in Kihei was absolutely perfect while we
were there.
Thanks again for your part of a wonderful vacation. When we
go back in a few years, I certainly will be contacting you.
Best, Glenn and Molly

Dear Joyce,
Just a quick note to let you know what a nice place you have
in Kihei. We had a great trip, and really enjoyed our stay
at your condo. The beaches there are fantastic, and we
enjoyed the swimming and snorkeling. The Keawakapu Beach is
especially nice. We got a great book on the Reef Fishes of
Hawaii and enjoyed identifying all the various amazing
species. A couple of days of rain were mixed in, but we
didn't mind (the only bad part was it was too windy on our
boat trip to go down past LaPerouse Bay to the more remote
south coastline), but we still had a great boat trip and
watched the whales breach, the dolphins play and the turtles
swim. The kids enjoyed the pool (never did the Hana Road,
but did go up to Iao Valley and Lahaina), my son and I
played golf at the Elleair course which was very nice, and
Bev and Jenny went to the play over at Lahaina which they
really enjoyed.
We were met back in Anchorage with 4" of snow yesterday and
another 6 today. The kids were whining about wanting to be
back in Hawaii, but I told them just pretend it's sand!
It'll be melting soon.
Well, thanks again, and hope we left the place in good
shape. The boogie board was broken when we got there, but
other than that we saw nothing else that was out of order.
One thing that still puzzles me is the name of the birds
that are kind of like a quail that are so raucous! We
enjoyed all the birds, but they were quite amazing (as we
were leaving, we saw a mother and about 8 fuzzy yellowish
chicks out on the lawn). Quite a place!
Thanks again
Chris, Bev, Jenny and Aaron

I wanted to let you know that we absolutely loved our time in Maui while staying at your condo. It was so fabulous that both children had their own beds to sleep in, and your condo is absolutely beautiful. I hate to tell
you this but your pictures don't do it justice - it was so much larger than I had anticipated. It was also very nice having all the cleaning supplies on hand
- I'm a bit retentive about the sand etc, so I vacuumed quite a few times.
The Styrofoam cooler broke while it was in our possession - so we replaced it with a new one. And I wanted to let you know that there was only 1 boogie board. We didn't use it - we had actually brought our own, but I wanted to let you know that there was only 1 board in your closet and not the 2 that was stated in your directions.
We are anticipating going back to Maui next year, although there has been talk of going to the big island - so it's a little up in the air as of right now. But if we do make plans to go to Maui again next year we would love to stay in your beautiful unit again!!
Thank you again so much, your condo was fantastic and the highlight of our stay!!

Hi Mrs. Tekawa: I did receive the refund yesterday and thank you for that.In spite of the 4 days of straight rain (with flooding all over the island),we had a wonderful time. Your condo did much more than meet ourexpectations. My mom, sister, Aunt and Uncle stayed there. I was pleased
to see how elegant the condo is. Your home is absolutely lovely and we all agreed we could see ourselves spending our remaining days there. I love your little yard. It is such a beautiful setting to just sit and enjoy the flowers and sunshine. Your decor is also so very lovely. I stayed in unit H208 and found your unit to be much more comfortable. Another common comment from everyone in my family was that both units had the most amazing mattresses on the beds. Everyone said how comfortable the beds were.
Everyone slept really well! Thanks again and we will definitely think of you when we return to Maui.

Hi Joyce:
The condo was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Julie and I enjoyed ourselves and look forward to our next trip. Hopefully, we'll be able to stay in your beautiful home-away-from-home again.
The storm was exciting and really didn't inconvenience us too much. The same type of storm is happening right now in the Puget Sound area - trees down, power out, but not in Olympia or Tacoma where Julie and I live - that is expected to happen on Saturday. More excitement.
Thanks again, Jennifer

I would recommend your condo to anyone looking for accommodations in Maui. The location is great, and it's so very relaxing. One of the things we liked best was having a yard where we could enjoy our dinners outside.
We were so comfortable and it was so pleasant that we could have our daughter and her boyfriend over for dinner a couple of times. Everything was wonderful, and we certainly will consider visiting again.
Again, we want to thank you for the rental. It made this trip very special for us.
Thanks Again, Bruce

Dear Ty and Joyce, We want to thank you for the use of your
wonderful condo. We had a great time; we can only say
wonderful things about the condo and Maui! It provides all
the comforts of home. We would like it for a month around
the same time next year.
Geo
Hi,
Have thoroughly enjoyed your most wonderful condominium
during our stay here. Like many others from the Seattle
area, yes my office is my laptop and cell phone...
Your unit nicely accomodates business people. Usually I
have to run down to Kihei for my faxes and floppies to
print. This makes what I have to do more efficient so I can
do other things we came here for. Also, we really like the
cordless phone, which we realized in our last 20 visits to
Maui, we have never had this convenience. The little
touches like plenty of paper, ink cartridges, pens,
calender, etc. all lend to helping me get things done faster
with less hassle.
My wife really likes CLEAN (young baby with us), so she is
very pleased with how the unit is not only clean from top to
bottom, but bug and dust free.
Jon
Just wanted to tell you we really enjoyed our visit to
beautiful Maui and your wonderful condo. Everything we
needed was there. Also, I wanted to confess to
accidentally dropping one of your cereal bowls! Other than
that little accident, I think you will find everything as
you left it. Thanks again for providing all the comforts of
home.
Sincerely,
Kathy
P.S. We loved the pool, too. It was so pretty.
