| Mahalo for sharing your fabulous condo with us. We had a wonderful stay. The condo location is great. It was peaceful but yet close to the pool and the BBQ area. Happy Hour at Five Palms was terrific. Thank you for all the great suggestions! Hope we can visit again soon. Take care! |

We had an absolutely wonderful two weeks in your condo. We think your place is one of the best situated in the entire complex :) and hope we can come back again soon.
Being on the second floor was great with the tradewinds blowing through the unit and keeping it the perfect temperature. We never even used the a/c. The luscious grounds make Maui Kamaole a haven. We loved cooling off at the tropical pool after a day at the beach. The bbq was frequently used and we enjoyed having dinner on the lanai watching the sunset every night.
Thanks for providing all the extras for a perfect vacation. Even our 5-year-old got a hang of boogieboarding with a board the perfect size for him. |

We rented this wonderful condo for some of our family members attending our wedding. We met frequently at the condo for breakfast and it was a great place to unwind after a day full of activities. It was clean, comfortable, and in a great location.
The complex as a whole is great - centrally located but with a peaceful, secluded feel.
I would highly recommend this condo to anyone vacationing on Maui! |

Dennis and Carolyn,
There is so much to say about our wonderful experience in Maui and staying at your condo. Great general location to snorkel beaches, shopping, dining and golf on the island. Your condo is clean, beautifully appointed, well equipped for living and fun. Nothing like the morning breakfasts and evening pupu's on the patio enjoying the garden view and sunsets. We appreciated how the landscaping, pool area and parking lots were groomed and clean as well. As hosts, we found that it truly was your goal for us to have a great vacation and fall in love with Maui as you have. Thank-you for all the memories and family fun we had at The Buckmaster's condo. |

Dennis and Carolyn,
Ahhhh, our time in your condo was just perfect. I don't think we could have stayed at a better place with our kids. Maui Kamaole stood out to us as a class-act place to stay: quiet, lush gardens, not cheap and cheesy like some of the other places appeared to be. Thank you again for all the extras you leave available to guests, including books to read. Swede enjoyed reading the Will Rogers book while there. We will encourage our friends to contact you about staying at your place when they go to Maui. We really felt cared for by you guys and can't thank you enough. Your hospitality continues even when you aren't there!

HOnestly, when we drove up the drive to the condo we couldn't believe we were going to stay there. The landscaping is exquisite. Flowers and palms everywhere. Where there isn't beautiful landscaping there's a pool, or tennis courts, everything right there.
The condo was quiet and very pleasant. Just a few steps to the pool. Out back there are barbeques. Dennis and Carolyn were so helpful. They called us after our arrival to both welcome and orient us. What a generous offering. We plan to visit again.... |

Even though we already live in "paradise", it is still a treat to take a quiet break in your delightfully peaceful "neighbor island" retreat!
It is everything that you said it would be and at every turn we were pleasantly surprised to find that you were understated rather than exaggerated!
We'll be back!

Dear Dennis and Carolyn-
We enjoyed renting your lovely condo in Maui. It is very comfortable and relaxing. Carolyn you have done a nice job of decorating with the newly painted walls and new living room furniture to the accents of bamboo plants and orchids, I especially loved the art work on the walls! I appreciated the kitchen being fully equipped with cooking utensils and serving ware. We spent alot of time at the beaches and did some sea kayaking and horse back riding down the crater, we truly enjoyed our Christmas vacation! |

| We were thrilled that this home felt more like someone's personal living space and not just a rental unit. Everthing we needed to spend a leisurely ten days was all made available to us. The kids particularly enjoyed the pool. It was nice to have such a large space to spend our relaxing "out of the sun" time. |

Aloha Dennis and Carolyn!
Thank you again for the use of your condo over the Christmas holidays. We had a fantastic holiday in Maui. The use of your condo was part of the reason we had such a good time. It was great to be able to live, cook and eat together as a family for a week. With the children being adults, we all took turns with the cooking and everyone helped. The little girls slept in the little alcove in the bedroom on the main level. It was wonderful and a holiday for all of us.
Your book "Maui Revealed" was a great suggestion. The first morning there we all went to the Kihei Cafe which was great find. We also enjoyed Alexander's, Badda Bing Pizza, the Big Wave- (a new inexpensive but good restaurant near Long's Drug's) and our last night was enjoyed at "Sorrento's". Dec 24th in the morning was spent making our own leis at the Marriot for the holidays. The Eskimo Candy Fish was a good place to buy fish for BBQing.
Thanks again for letting us rent your place and hope you may find some time to get there this winter. The beaches and sun were great!
Health, happiness, and God's blessings to you in the New Year!

| We had a fabulous stay at the Buckmaster's condo over Christmas. The set-up of the condo is perfect for families, and the location within Kihei is excellent. The Buckmaster's are wonderful to deal with, and they are true to their word. You won't regret renting this condo! |

Thank you Dennis and Carolyn for making our stay in Maui a memorable event. Not only did we celebrate our sons wedding but enjoyed a delightful vacation at the Maui Kamaole. We appreciate your personal touch in giving us ideas about restaurants, beaches and shopping areas.
We hope to return one day and make use of your beautiful condo again.

Hi Dennis:
Just a brief note to let you know we are back home after a
wonderful trip to Maui. Your condo worked out great for us as a
home base and we definitely did not want to come back home!
Interestingly, we met many people at the pool who've stayed in
other condo complexes during prior trips and reported that they
liked Maui Kamaole the best.
We left your unit in good shape, and donated a couple of
recreational items for future families: some pool toys and a mask/
snorkel that I found in the water at Kamaole Beach (couldn't
locate its owner).
Best regards, and thanks for all your help!

“Last year was our first visit to Maui for our family of four. We loved
Maui but our “place” left a lot to be desired. We decided to come
back this year and stay somewhere nice. Your vacation home was
what we all dreamed of as the perfect home away. We had a
wonderful trip, great weather, lots of time n the ocean. . . and then
this place to relax in, clean, lovely and well cared for. We’ll be back
and will come here.”

Carolyn and Dennis,
Thanks for the wonderful condo. It was very comfortable and the
view was great. The pool is so cool! We spent a lot of time there.
We had a lot of fun on Maui and there is always plenty to do, like
snorkel, hike, boogie board, watch surfers and much more. Nice
climate.

Dennis and Carolyn,
Thank you so much for the use of your wonderful condo in Kihei.
We had a great time enjoying the weather, beach, pool, golf and
food. Of course, Larry and Jane were a blast too. Two great
people. Ask them to explain The First Annual Maui Oscar
Party! I hope we can continue the new tradition.
Larry and I had a great time golfing. Went three times (Makena,
Wailea and Maui Dunes).
Your condo is beautiful. We could move there. Too bad we have to
make a living as well. Oh well, maybe living over there is just a
goal. We highly recommend the snorkeling trip offered by The
Pacific Whale Foundation. They were great. One of our daughters would like to get into Marine Biology. This was an eye
opener for her. She wants to swim with the dolphins. We also saw
a lot of Humpback Whales playing in the water.
Lastly, the nearby beaches were wonderful.
Thanks again. We truly loved the experience you allowed us to
participate in!!

I absolutely loved your living room furniture and, if permitted,
would air freight it home. The whole place is devine, the view of
the central garden as well. Swam with the resident turtle at
Kamaole Beach III, the most beautiful thrill underwater, in the
world.
The whole family, eight of us, had a great time celebrating my
folks 50th wedding anniversary.
Everything was "Maui at it's best".
As they say, Aloha,
