| Gail, a big Mahalo for all the comforts of your tree top studio which I had the pleasure of recently enjoying while I returned for another visit to Maui. It was perfect for me and I can't wait to return. |

Gail & Leon, Sorry we didn't get to meet Leon, but Gail, great to meet you! Big thank you for everything. It was perfect. If I could remember the chant before the canoe paddle, I'd write it now to you!
Mahalo and muchas gracias!

Gail & Leon, Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We had a lovely time at your condo while exploring the beauty of Maui. We would highly recommend the Kihei Canoe Club (Tues & Thurs AM), Matteo's pizza (yum), Wokstar (for delicious, reasonable fare), Pita Paradise, and all the hiking spots you can find (such beautiful hikes).
The accommodations here were above and beyond what we expected. Thanks again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the 'Secret Studio' in Wailea. The unit was clean, spacious and had everything we needed. It's a short walk to the shops and beaches, a great location. We had our morning coffee and evening wine on the lanai, the birds provided lots of entertainment. It makes a great place to come home to after a day exploring Maui. We hope to come back, it was a fantastic vacation. Thanks Gail!

Dear Gail: We thoroughly enjoyed your lovely slice of paradise. This was our first time to Hawaii and the studio gave us a comfortable home-base as we toured around the island. Simply terrific!
This was our first extended holiday away from our 2 and 4 year olds. A second honeymoon! Your tips were invaluable, and thank you so much for the unexpected goodies. We'll be back. This is a trulyh wonderful location.

Dear Gail & Leon, Thank you for helping to make our stay comfortable and memorable. The studio is lovely and well equipped with everything being provided that we needed for a very comfortable stay. My sister, Marilyn, and I had a wonderful stay, even though I fractured my foot on the first day of vacation. It really helped that our location was so convenient, since I'm sporting a cast up to my knee! Thanks again for such a delightful place to stay.
Peace and blessings.

Hi Gail, Thanks so much for the use of the studio while attending our daughter's wedding - very comfortable with all necessities provided - and so conveniently located. Hopefully when we are successfully relocated stateside, we will be able to return for a holiday - for ourselves!
Thanks again and kind regards.

Gail - What a perfect little "gem" your Secret Garden Studio is - everything was as promised with lots of little extras - Mahalo.
We really apprecieated your letting us "piggyback" our stay with other family after our unexpected problem with ATA. You have made our first trip to Maui a wonderful beginning to a memorable stay.

| We stayed at the Secret Garden Studio March 24 - 30 and couldn't have been happier! The location was fantastic, and the condo was clean, quiet (except for all of our noisy, beautiful bird neighbors that woke us up each morning. But what a wonderful way to wake up!) and just what we needed. We had a great time in Maui, thanks in part to Gail's suggestions. All the places we ate were great, and the best part of the trip was the canoeing with the Kihei Canoe Club. Thanks, Gail for the wonderful idea! We also loved the whale watching trip with the Pacific Whale Foundation - this is a MUST if you're in Maui during whale season. We loved everything about the little condo, and would definitely stay there again. Mahalo, Gail!! |

We've just spent 2 weeks in your condo and loved it! It's cute, comfortable, clean and in a beautiful location. We loved it!
This was our 1st time in Maui and we'll definitely be back -- we had a blast!
Your directions, suggestions and instructions were "bang-on"! Thanks so much for making everything so easy.
It was nice having the beach chairs, umbrella and cooler - we took them everywhere with us as we explored Maui. Nice touch.
And again, THANKS, Mahalo, we'll be back.

I just wanted to drop a note and tell you how much we enjoyed our stay in your lovely Tree Top Studio and how we appreciated all your good recommendations.
The morning bird symphony was enchanting and the tropical landscaping was lovely as was your decor and thoughtful inclusion of everything for the beach (The cooler was a particular godsend.). The quiet and peacefulness and lovely cross breeze made us think we had found a bit of heaven. Breakfast on the lanai with the cardinals, house finches and mynas chirping away, with the bougainvilleas fairly glowing in the background made it a special pleasure. We really felt pampered.......
At any rate, I just wanted to thank you for making our too short vacation so memorable, relaxing and enjoyable.

What a wonderful place to stay on such a gorgeous island as Maui is. My wife and I are a little wistful as this is our final leg of a "tri-island" honeymoon (Kauai and Molokai representing the other "two-thirds").
The breezes, vibrant colors and chattering of the birds made this place all the more special.
Mahalo.

This is a cozy, charming place to stay. We enjoyed the many artistic, plantation touches in the decor. The privacy and quiet were additional pluses---such a contrast to the crowded, noisy and bustling pace of the Kihei area.
We are in Maui to help relatives celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Their son lives in Makawao and at our suggestions, will spread the word that your condo is a well-located and wonderful place to kick back and relax.
Lorraine couldn't be nicer or more helpful.

Yumi and I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to share your Wailea Escape. We really enjoyed the Tree Top Studio and the wedding was breathtaking.
We hope to come back.
We typically take a trip to Maui in September, after the season slows, cools off and to celebrate our birthdays (both in that month).
Please let us know of availability in that time frame.

Hi Gail,
Your Studio was in very good condition - clean & well maintained. We were surprised and pleased to find so many items included that added to our enjoyment and convenience.
It was nice to have beach chairs and beach towels. Loved being able to make fruit smoothies in the blender. Yee's fruit stand in Kihei is always one of my first stops when I get to Maui. The full-size fridge was greatly appreciated. Loved your music CD's and used them to help us decide what music to bring home with us.
I must say that like everybody else who has stayed there, I loved the shower, the open feeling of the glass wall, the 2 shower heads, the wonderfully scented shower gel. What a treat! And it was so easy to rinse off our snorkel gear.
We would definitely stay at the Tree Top again and also recommend it to our friends.
Thanks so much.

Thank you for allowing me to stay in your rental and for the late check-out. Your place is ADORABLE!!! It was perfect for my needs. I had a great stay and look forward to a return visit.
The wedding was one of the most romantic that I have ever seen. It was at the Grand Wailea in their small chapel. It was a sunset ceremony, the tiki torches, the beach, the sunset, and the tables with white linens blowing in the breeze was amazing. I enjoyed it tremendously.
I'll definitely look you up for my future needs in Maui. It was magical.
Mahalo,
