My Magnificent Maui Vacation
cj and marty Grand Rapids, MI, USA.
Date Submitted: March 19, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2008
My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this wonderful mountain view condo for 10 days and nights. The owners were great hosts and went above and beyond to accomodate every need. The murphy bed was awesome as it gave us added room and the full use of a living room during the day. It was very clean and nicely decorated in the Hawaiian theme with beautiful local art. The added bonus of the many music CD's was much enjoyed and there is a large library of current DVD video's as well. (We didn't watch any because we were too busy having fun.) I felt more like a guest in someone's home than a client in a hotel. There is an abundance of kitchen essentials, big, fluffy towels, comfy pillows, everything you could think of and more. The convenience of this codo was also a huge plus. The Lahaina Shores is within a 15-20 minute walk to anywhere in Lahaina, no car is necessary and it takes 5 minutes to get downtown. The town is wonderful, I much prefer it to Ka'anapali. There is beautiful local and international art galleries, wonderful restaurants, nightlife, every shop imaginable without being cheesy and touristy. Do Banyan Tree Park - stunning, plus art/craft festivals on Weekends. Most amazing, watching the Humpback Whales play all day long right from the resort. I highly recommend you come here during whale season (mid-Dec to end of April). Do a whale watch tour, also fabulous Luau's - we did Feast at Lele`. Expensive, but well worth every penny - Also it is right next to the resort so if you have one too many Maitai's or Pina Colada's from the free open bar, you merely need to stumble a few feet to get back. Also, snorkeling was at Molokini was great, swiming with the Sea Turtles at Olawalu - fabulous!!! (my personal favorite). Definitely see concierge MK or Anushka to get the best deals for tours - they'll tell you the best ones for your needs & will save you money. Don't forget to ask for coupons - lots of 2 for 1 dining deals & free deserts. If you do bring a car, drive the coast - stunning, visit the Iao valley - see the Iao needle - breathtaking. Of course Haleakala Crater & Road to Hana - highly recommended, we never did do either of those - that's ok, something to go back for. One caveat! Very limited parking - if you rent a car, be aware. Convenient if travelling away from the town but not needed locally. If we go back, (and we plan to), I wouldn't stay anywhere else. My personal little secret, and now yours too.

Just arrived home must admit we were quite sad to leave. The condo is in the BEST location possible. Nicely furnished with all amenities needed. We left 2 beach mats & a large nylon cooler (which came in very handy for day trips) for future guests.
Jane & Carol, we thank you and will surely return.

| Very comfortable accommodations, quite reasonable cost. The condo has everything you need, including beach towels. We really enjoyed our visit to Maui, and the condo was one positive part of the visit. Thanks. |

| My husband and I stayed at Carol's condo in Lahaina for 4 nights in mid July. The first thing we noticed was the beautiful mountain view from the deck! The condo was spacious, clean, and had a well-stocked kitchen. Lahaina shores is located right in Lahaina, so were were able to walk to all of the shops. There was even a small grocery store around the corner. I highly recommend staying here during your trip to Maui! |

Hi Carol,
We had a comfortable stay at your condo. It was very nicely furnished. The mountain view from our lanai was wonderful and we loved the walk along the beach to the harbor and into Lahaina Town . The sunset view was breath taking. Thank you for accomodating us.
Thanks again and regards,

Jayne and I had a wonderful time! Should have listened to you years earlier and went to the condo then! Probably should have gone 20 years earlier! With the town starting next door, the ability to walk the streets, see the sights, eat at wonderful resturants and SHOP kept us busy (actually Jayne doing the shoping). The conceirge (sp) in the lobby was wonderful in steering us to trips, tours and sights on the island.We thank you again for the opportunity and for allowing us to use your condo.

Dottie sent this to us by e-mail:
We really liked your place. I can't think of a single thing that we could have needed. It was so comfortable and your kitchen was set up for some serious cooking (of which we did very little); that is rare in beach condos. The people at the reception desk were very friendly and accommodating. We really loved the location as we walked downtown every evening and sometimes during the day as well. We did the Friday evening art gallery walk and the Sunday art and craft show/sale under the banyan tree. The whales were everywhere! One evening we took a sunset sail and we were so close that we could hear them through the haul of the sailboat. We did the sunrise at Haleakala -- which was awesome -- and we took the trip to Hana with a Maui woman guide/driver who made the day absolutely fascinating. So we had a very fun time on Maui.
We would definitely recommend your place for anyone going to Maui. Perhaps we can return again in a few years.

Anyway, I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we enjoyed ourselves over in Maui. You are right, the location is just fabulous. Very close to walk to everything. We only rented a car for our last 2 days so we could do some exploring of the island.
I hope we are able to return again some day.
Thanks again for everything

Finally getting around to sending you a big mahalo for the use of your
great condo. It was just perfect in location, comfortable, with a
great view, and took care of all our needs. We spent very little time in
the kitchen which was so well stocked with dishes and utensils. Didn't
catch any fish so had to eat out. Too bad, so sad. Ha!.............
Well, don't want to talk your ear off. But, I do want you to know how
much we liked your home away from home. Hope we get a chance to return
again.

Hello Carol,
Sorry I havent replied sooner but things have been a little crazy since
getting back
from Maui. The condo was perfect! Alice and I had a great time. By the
way,
I asked her to marry me at Balwin Beach on Christmas day. The answer
was
yes, and the date is set for 21 June of this year. Thanks again,
everything was
perfect, easy to get to, and lots to see and do.

I really enjoyed your condo. The location was such an easy walk into town. The set-up of the condo with the well equiped kitchen allowed me to eat some meals in which is handy for someone travelling alone... I enjoyed having some meals out but three meals a day would have been too much. The Murphy bed was quite comfortable, I slept like a baby. I guess the only down side was the noise from street construction in front of the condo that started very early every morning and lasted all day. The only benefit to that is that it encouraged me not to lounge in bed. Instead I was up and out of the condo for most of the day.
I couldn't have had better weather...no rain and a gentle breeze. Upon my return I kept thinking how nice it would be to make this an annual trip. It really recharged me. So next year you may hear from me again. Take care and have a happy new year.
Sincerely,
Kerry

Carol,
Thank you for the help with us staying in your condo. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed being there. It was so convenient and the girls could walk anywhere they wanted for shopping and to eat. We didn't get into the car until we went to Haleakala and Hana. It was also nice to see pictures and try to put a face to your emails. Thank you for sharing your home in Maui with us and I look forward to the opportunity of visiting again. I hope you and yours are well and enjoying the summer months - I wish you peace -

We stayed in this unit at Lahaina Shores for 35 Nites in 2005. Because we have been staying at Lahaina Shores for quite a few years we were pleasantly surprised at now nice and how well equiped the unit is. The music (CD'S) and video's are a nice addition. The owners are pleasant to deal with and their representative there at the complex took good care of us. You can't find a better location on Maui if you are looking for the beach, shopping and resturants. The beach is right at your lawn, where you can sun yourself or sit in the shade. The rest is in easy walking distance to the town of Lahaina.
There is a hot tub and pool also. The unit with the Murphy bed gives you a lot more room than free standing beds do.We really enjoyed our stay and plan on renting this unit again in 2006.

A very comfortable condo with well equipped kitchen. GREAT location - on the beach, short walk to downtown and marvelous mountain view. Every thing you need for a perfect relaxing vacation.
We were able to have breakfast on lanai every morning. What a way to start your day.
We enjoyed our stay and hope to return to Maui, and we would definitely stay in this condo again. |

The first thing you notice upon entering the condo is the spectacular
view. My husband and I sat out on the verandah each night and just breathed
in the beauty around us.
The Murphy Bed allowed us a comfortable night's sleep. If we opted
to stay up late, there were numerous CD's and DVD's to choose from.
The kitchen and bathroom were stocked appropriately with all of the
basic necessaties readily at our fingertips.
The best word to describe the location is perfect! The activities we
needed or wanted to do were all within
easy walking distance. Swim, shop, walk
on the beach, eat out(at great restaurants), and the best Luau in town
right next door.
If we come back to Maui, this is the place we will choose to stay at.
Book early.
