Our stay in "1205" have been fantastic! Amazing sunsets in a peaceful setting
and not a worry in the world. Maui is great - we managed to do the Xtreme
World Champs finish in one piece (minus some flesh!), circumnavigate the island
in our Jeep, snorkel, swim, hike, bike and RELAX! ... Thanks so much to Lorraine
and Peggy. We hope to be back again. ... Mahalo, Brett & Mairead Woods

What a magical experience we've had! Maui is absolutely stunning - a piece
of paradise. This condo was perfect for us - so comfortable and like a home
away from home. We loved keeping busy during the day with the various
activities and then returning to our condo for a refreshing swim in the
fantastic pool - ideal! Our little boys were so happy to be here. Having the
huge lawn off our lanai allowing them to run around and explore was also
sensational. We will definitely be recommending Maui and condo #1205 to all
our friends and family. We hope to return one day soon! ... Mahalo from Kay,
Elo, Ben and Koby

Aloha Peggy and Lorraine ... We had a wonderful stay and 1205. Your unit was very comfortable and had all the comforts of
home. We were greeted with a sweet package of cookies and the cool tradewinds. Such a nice welcome! My girls ages 5 & 7
have become veteran visitors -- 5th and 6th visits respectively. They immediately felt at home here. We even found that our
resident neighbor is from our home town Sacramento and that we had mutual friends there. What a small world! We visit the
islands every August and hope to be able to stay in #1205 again. ... Mahalo Nui Loa, the Archuleta family

We had a great time in Maui & enjoyed every moment of it. Your place is a
perfect location for our family of 4. It was our first time in the Hawaiian Islands.
We spent 3 nights in Oahu and are heading for the Big Island today. Every day
we did something special: hiking into the crater of Haleakala, drove the Road to
Hana, snorkeling with turtles, caught many waves & visited nice beaches. Thank
you for letting us stay in your nice condo! ... the Radack family (Joanna, Florian,
Katrin & Guido) -- currently in New Jersey but originally from Berlin, Germany

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The condo was perfect for our family.
It had everything we needed for the beach where we spent much of our time.
The breezes off the lanai in the evenings made it so relaxing and easy to
unwind. We found the condo so comfortable to come back to after
snorkeling, driving to Hana, shopping, hiking, swimming, etc. It was our
home away from home. I loved how quiet Wailea Ekolu is particularly in the
evenings. We also enjoyed looking at the stars off the lanai. Amazing! Maui
was amazing! And so was our stay here. We are making plans to return
again. Lorraine and Peggy, thanks so much for everything you have done for
us. ... Thanks again! The DiCaro family

This has been our second stay at 1205 and not our last. Our stay was
absolutely amazing! We snorkeled Molokini and Turtle Town, drove to
beautiful Hana, learned to surf, ate shave ice, watched the sun set every night
(from our back yard) and loved every minute of it. Maui and Ekolu 1205 is
our second home. I highly recommend a massage at the Grand Wailea and if
you enjoy golfing there are many courses to drop off the man, so you can get
pampered. Lorraine, thanks again (for all your hospitality and generosity). I
can't express my gratitude. With much Aloha, Mahalo, Ono, and every other
fabulous Hawaiian word! ... Michael and Gina

Aloha and Mahalo Lorraine ... Once again everything was great. Almost every
night we sat on the lawn by the palm tree enjoying the sunset over Lanai with a
tropical drink after a hard day at the beach and pool. Bruce and I will look
forward to returning next year. Until then ... Glen (Oceanside, CA) and Bruce

Dear Lorraine and Peggy ... Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful condo
with us! We could not have asked for anything better suited to our holiday
wishes. We particularly enjoyed our morning breakfasts on the patio, and the
beautiful sunsets over the Pacific. If we make it back to Hawaii you can be sure
we will be ringing you to see if this little slice of paradise is still available!
Thanks again. Aloha ... Drew, Simona, Bernhard, Ioana, and Jens

Dear Lorraine and Peggy, We truly felt at home here during our 3 months away
from the harsh winter of Utah. The condo is so comfortable. I think we

It was a pleasure to stay here. We loved eating on the lanai, watching the
sunsets, the warm air, colorful birds, and gentle breezes -- simply everything!
And then there's Maui! Loved the turtles, the azure blue of the ocean and the
soft sand. Mahalo! Hope to be back soon. ... Jenny, DeDe and Lucas.
P.S. Thank you for all the board games, kid books, beach gear, and Lorraine for
your thoughtfulness & thoroughness.

We could not have asked for a better vacation. We had a fantastic time & the
condo was perfect for our family. The beautiful breezes, tropical flowers, and
amazing sunsets will surely stay with us through our Alaskan winter. It was
just what we needed! Thank you Lorraine for the warm welcome & helpful
tips. We fell in love with Paulea Beach -- shaded, kid-friendly & great
snorkeling. The fun closet was perfect (the umbrellas saved us being burnt!).
We hate to go but hope to be back again. ... Mahalo, Elizabeth, Jonathan,

We had a great time in Maui! The condo was perfect in every way. Everything we
needed was here, the view was spectacular, a beautiful escape from our "every-
day" lives! We feel very blessed to have spent time here. It is truly a paradise.
We did so many activities, it's hard to count them all! ... We hope everyone who
comes behind us has as much fun as we did! Lorraine, Mahalo for everything.
You were great to work with. When we return we will absolutely look you up!

We are just coming to the end of our first trip to Maui. What a fabulous place!
We had a great relaxing time exploring the sights & visiting the beaches. Our
favorites are Palauea & Po'olenalena - quiet & beautiful. A few days ago we
discovered Makena -- wow! We even got to swim with turtles today. What a
way to end the holiday! ... Great food & restaurants. A fabulous "fav" was Pita
Paradise; the fish dishes are based on the day's catch & desserts are great. ...

What a great place to stay! Easy access to the beaches in Wailea, great restaurants, Kehei, and more. The condo is perfect for a family with a fully equipped kitchen, well appointed bedrooms, and nice touches like beach equipment, plenty of towels, CDs and movies. There's plenty to do in the area. Be sure to visit Makena Beach with the boogie boards!

Thank you for the nice welcome and especially for the FABULOUS place to stay.
We enjoyed each & every day to the fullest. Being here was as close to paradise
as we could imagine. Wailea has the most beautiful beaches on the island. Our
favorites were Polo and Po'olenalena (where we swam with 3 turtles). -- Already
planning our next visit back, and hope 1205 is available! Mahalo!!!

Thank you Lorraine! What a great condo in a great location. Unbelievably serene, sitting outside reading a book and hearing nothing, absolutely nothing, was truly a delight. We're glad we found your condo and you'll be hearing from us if we're ever back in Maui.

My husband,son,daughter in law and myself spent spring break March 10-18-07 at Ekolu . We loved the condo and the fact that it was on the beautiful Blue golf course and was just far enough away from the crowds!! It was so quiet,beautiful and serene...We did have alot of rain, tho...but it didnt stop us from seeing and doing everything! Big Beach was our favorite, but all the others were so close too and very beautiful...We hit all the golf courses that were close and they were spectacular and the food was great at "Seawatch" at the Emerald and Diamond golf courses....we loved it all and hope to be back soon!!!

" The condo was perfect for the four of us! We loved the location up on this hill and stayed nice and cool during the evenings wihout using the A/C. We hit many beaches quickly from this great location in Wailea. Big Beach and Makena are our favorites. We saw a humpback calf learning to breach alongside its mom for 20 minutes out near Molokini. Golf here in Wailea is so great. ... Thanks so much for having us Lorraine and Peggy!"

"Many thanks for allowing us to stay in your wonderful piece of Paradise. The manager, Lorraine, has done everything to help our stay be be most memorable. ... The beaches around this area are all beautiful, but we found that Polo Beach was excellent! Plenty of shaded parking and a nice beach with not too many people (just make sure you go left from the stairway, away from the Fairmont). There was also a place with tidepools that the kids enjoyed. ... Hope to be back soon!"

We occuppied this unit from July 19-25 of 2006. It is a great unit. The space is more than adequate and the grounds are quiet. It is close to the beaches but you must drive, takes 2 minutes tops.That is actually a good thing because there are probably six beaches close by and you will want to go to different ones for different things. Wailea Beach is good for snorkeling. Save the 39 bucks you woul spend on a shokeling tour and see the turtles here for free. They are by the coral reef.If you are going to stay in Wailea you won't do better especially for the price and location. My only comment would be that I wanted a gas grill as opposed to charcoal. There's nothing like instant fire.

Homeowner Response:
The rental condos in Wailea primarily use charcoal barbeque grills (due to liability & cost issues). Privately owned propane grills are common to owner-occupied (not rental) complexes.
