AWESOME! AWESOME! AWESOME!
BEST PLACE ON MAUI !!!
We can't say it any better than what others have said. This was our 50th State to see and Maui did not disappoint us. Staying at your gorgeous and comfy condo made it even better than expected and we are already making plans to return. We went on an all-day snorkeling cruise and saw no turtles; but swam with them on a daily basis right at your condo. That was a "first" for us.
While on Maui, we found the best place for sunset dinners - unobstructed views, no dinner waiting line, dinner any time, mixed with tropical breezes - yes, YOUR condo!
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !!!

Dear Di and Ken,
When we found your condo on VRBO we knew we had found the perfect retreat. Still, we had no idea that we were headed for the vacation of a lifetime. When we arrived we were delighted to discover that both your condo and the view from the lanai were even more beautiful than the photos. We hadn't even been on site ten minutes when I saw my first whale breaching. Every morning we watched sea turtles swimming right below us as we drank coffee and ate breakfast from the lanai. Every evening we sat and watched the whales playing right offshore. At night, the sound of the surf lulled us to sleep. We found peace, hope , healing. We laughed together as we hadn't laughed in a long time. We were delighted with all of your special touches. The closet full of everything we could possibly need, from sand chairs to snorkel equipment to boogie boards, the soft fluffy towels, the well-equipped kitchen and the great binoculars for watching the whales. And, your incredible remodeling job, comfy yet elegant, warm and inviting. Everything was as perfect as it could be.
Though we went on to do other things on our trip, your condo was the highlight of our vacation. Each day we went out and did things, but by noon or so a vote among the troops showed that all anyone wanted to do was return to the condo and relax on the lanai.
In reality, it is impossible to truly thank you for everything you have given us.
Mahalo!

Hi Ken & Di,
We meant to write in the guestbook in the room, but it totally slipped our minds. We just want to say thank you for everything, especially the champagne and flowers. The condo is beautiful...it had everything we needed. We had a lizard visitor for a few days, so we weren't alone. We ran into a few people that live in Hale Ono Loa and they said we had the best unit in the building. Without even seeing another unit, we totally agree. We will definitely recommend it to people that might visit Maui.
Once again, thanks for everything...we had a blast! We hope to come back.

Thank you for the beautiful tropical flower arrangement you sent for Mike and I, we got to enjoy the champagne with dinner one night on the deck.
What an exquisite place you have! It was very hard to leave the condo. We had the vacation of a lifetime. Mike and I would love to come stay again very soon.
Thanks again and take care
Rhonda & Mike

Yahoo user says HOL 409 is 5 Star!!
Just got back after 10 days there #409. 409 is best location / view of all the units - 4th floor right over the water. AWESOME.
Hale Ono Loa is not the Ritz by any means but the location is good halfway between Kapalua and Lahaina. Each unit will be completely different depending on the owner. The building is a bit tired overall but serviceable and if your unit is upgraded it can be a very nice experience- ours was great. The management company of Chase'n'Rainbows managed our unit and they were fantastic. There is a manager on duty- a gas fired grill outside ot BBQ (go early or late to miss the crowd). Folks staying there are traveling as couples or with some kids. Pretty quiet all in all and folks keep tothemselves. There is no beachfront (in winter) here only a sea wall and it is not real easy(in winter) to get in the ocean here. The pool is sparsely attended and there is a good observation/ sun deck to watch the whales and sea turtles in the surf - look close for turtles- TAKE BINOCULARS! Especially if you are there December to April.

Loved the view of the ocean from unit 409 and it's so close! I could fish off my lanai if I wanted. I loved the view of both islands directly in front of us! The sunsets and moon over the ocean were spectacular!!

Man, we hate leaving! You can't beat the view from the lanai. We had scenic breakfast and lunches-better than any restaurant on Maui. The condo was great! We felt very comfortable here and we'll recommend it to all our friends and family.
Thanks,
the Lehmans

What a beautiful spot! The whales were unbelievable! Of the many time we've been to Maui, this is the most wonderful spot! During the day whales, turtles and bright blue fish, even a few dolphins in the distance. At night the white foam of the waves, cresent moon on the water and well lit cruise ships! What a feast for the eyes! The condo itself is everything we need. Thank you for the wonderful time we've shared there!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! We had a fabulous time doing all the fun hings in Maui... but we always enjoyed coming back to sit on the lanai and enjoy the beauty it provided. You set up the place with absolutely everything we could possibly need. Thank you so much. It's an absolutely gorgeous condo and we loved looking out at the whales playing. It truly is as beautiful and more as your website showed. Mahalo! the Johnsons!

Well the floods started where we live the day we arrived. Once we learned everyone was ok, our vacation started-We were here with our collega aged kids and loved the plase--Lisa and I renewed our vows (the kids and I surprised her), we had some unforgetable meals on the lanai, say the whales doing their thing out the window, sailed, hiked, boogie boards, turtles-It was wonderful to come back to "409" at the end of each day-Nice work! Mahalo!

We already have plans to return for our honeymoon! Great kitchen, decorations, everything has been thought of here!
Thanks a million, hope to be back soon!

Rating 5 out of 5 (from Hawaiian Beach Rentals unsolicited review)
This is a gorgeous unit in a perfect location. How could we beat walking in on our first day to see the vast blue Pacific Moloka'i and Lana'i framed in the windows and sliding glass doors? The mirrors everywhere to reflect the view are a wonderful touch. We rarely used the a/c in the bedroom. There's a lovely cross breeze and the fans keep the unit plenty cool. The unit is well-appointed with plenty of towels (even for daily water sports!) and every cooking and eating utensil one could need. Every vacation need has been considered. We were initially a little disturbed about having to leave the unit our last full day there so that workmen could take the morning to replace the lanai railing (it would have been nice to have had more than two day's warning), but we ended up having a terrific time hiking the Four Falls "trail" on the Hana Highway. We will most definitely ask for this unit when we return to Maui.

Fabuluous! We never want to leave! We just love what you've done with the condo and the lanai is heaven. We spend most of our time on the lanai watching the sea life below us! Every day is different every sunset changes. Thank You!
