What a wonderful 4 week vacation in the Ohana over Christmas and New Year's 2009! This was our second stay here and it was better than the first, and that is saying a lot.
Steve, Lyn and family are so nice and approachable that it made the stay memorable. Coming back here and staying in the Ohana was like going home again and it made our short stay in Maui that much better.
We have booked the Ohana for our next vacation in paradise.

The Keonekai Ohana was one of the best setups I've
seen in my many trips to hawaii. No huge hotel or
condo tower to navigate. It sits off to the side of a
private residence with the only shared walls being
with the garage. It's has privacy in the backyard
and it's nice to have your own parking spot so close
to the Ohana. The place is stocked with everything
we needed for our trip to cook, do laundry, ect.
Steve and Lyn are also great. Helpful but never
intrusive and it shows that they take pride in their
property. I've probably been to Hawaii ten times in
the last couple years and this Ohana is at the top of
my list if I am staying in Kihei on Maui. I highly
recommend it. |

| This place was amazing! Steve and Lyn were very helpful from booking to departure. There were so many extras that made this place great. You won't be nickeled and dimed for anything "extra" Steve provided us with boogie boards, coolers, and snorkel equiptment at no charge.... We WILL stay here in the future! |

| This was our 3 or 4 time staying at the Ohana. We love all the updates they have done. It is like home away from home. Very quite and the beds are so comfortable. We hope to be back next year. Steve & Lynn are so nice and very helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone who is visiting Maui |

| Great place, unlike most we were on Maui for work related activities, so the quiet associated with the cottage was wonderful, easy walk to the beach, absolutely immaculate condition. Better bang for your buck than most of the condo's around. Steve is most helpful and excellent communicator. If we return we will certainly try to do it again ! |

| It's hard to say enough positive comments about the Keonekai Ohana and the Biskis family!! I stayed for one month and loved every minute. From the initial booking, to Steve and Lynn sending me items I had forgotten, they were helpful, effecient and always friendly. Th Ohana is truly Hawaiian Style, with the plumaria tree at the entrance and back patio blooming with flowers. We spent most evenings walking the short walk to the beach for the sunset, then firing up the Bar-BQ for a quiet dinner. The quiet is marvelous compared to staying in a crowed condo. Inside, the new kitchen is clean.sparkling and practical, the living room comfortable, and bedrooms equiped with necessary fans. The "extras" like beach chairs, towels,and of course the internet connection are beyond the hospitality of many places. I totally recommend this special place!!! and hope to return for many years. |

| We escaped from the north for a wonderful stay in Kihei. The Keonekai Ohana was a comfortable home base for us and our two young children. The Biskis did a great job of sharing information to prepare us for our stay, and everything was right on. We loved the easy walking access to the beach, and the Maui bus line was easy for adventures farther afield. Mahalo to the Biskis - our great thanks to the whole family for making us welcome. We hope to stay here again! |

WOW! We loved it! We stayed for about 3 1/2
weeks in September and really didn't want to leave,
it was truly a home away from home. This little
beach house had everything you would want, BBQ,
washer & dryer; literally a 5 minute walk to the
beach or easy drive to shopping and restaurants.
Steve and Lyn were away during our stay but we
could easily contact them with the most trivial
questions. Their next door neighbor is terrific!
We have recommended their place to friends & co-
workers and will definitely return. |

| We travelled around 3 of the other Hawaiian islands before settling for a month in Maui. We were very pleasantly suprised! It felt like home when we opened the door to our little house on keonokai Rd! The house was so clean and yet homely. At the back of the house is a gorgeous garden with a table, 4 chairs and a bbq. We made full use of this and sat out most evenings. One of the bedrooms and the living room has airconditioning while all the rooms have a fan. The house is fully furnished including extras like body boards, coolboxes and other summer things for children to play with. The neighbours were all very friendly and one even came over to introduce herself and offer us help. The house is very pretty from the outside too with lots of flowery bushes. Wild birds wander round the garden with their chicks- so cute! The house is about a 5 minute walk to a lovely beach (Kamaeole beach park 3) and to the bus route. This beach was lovely and never too crowded. There's also amazing snorkelling to be done at this beach! There's even a giant rock that people swim out to and jump off. There are some bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to anyone! The owners were also very helpful with any questions we asked while we were staying here. This house is amazing and will make your stay in Maui one to remember! |

| We were fortunate to stay in this lovely place this past March. We loved it from the moment we entered the driveway!(nice neighborhood). Truly felt like home to us, full of Aloha spirit. The Ohana afforded us access to everything we come to Maui for..beach activities, walks, close to shopping, easy commute to other parts of the island. We enjoyed the bbq grill nearly every night. The Biskis family are friendly and helpful, yet respect your privacy, too! We hope to return to this Ohana for many years to come! It's a cute little beach house stocked with everything one could possibly need.The computer was an added bonus. Thanks, Steve and Lyn,for sharing your "home". |

| What a great spot..the place is much nicer than the pictures show and Steve and Lynn were getting ready to renovate the kitchen when we left in A..pril.. I've stayed on Maui over 20 times and this is the best value ive ever had..The place was spotless and came with everything you could want..beach chairs boogie boards and all kitchen amenities.. Also the Biskis family were a joy to be around..It's about a 3-5 min walk from one of the most beautiful beaches on Maui.. or a 1 minute car ride if your taking lots of stuff to the beach.. highly recomend it..go.. relax...enjoy..alooooooha |

What a wonderful 4 week vacation over Christmas and New Year's 2007! Steve, Lyn and family were very helpful and accomodating. Everything that was needed was available, and if not, Steve and Lyn only needed to be asked.
The Ohana was our home away from home and made our short time in Maui even better than expected. The privacy was wonderful; the exclusive use of a BBQ; beach "toys" were provided; quiet and secluded location, yet close enough to the beach and stores; we could go on and on.
We have already booked the Ohana for our next vacation. |

This was our second stay at the Keonekai Ohana. It felt like coming home again. We liked it so much the first year that we came back for a second year and have already booked it for the third year.
If you are considering the Keonekai Ohana you won't be disappointed.
**The Biskis family is so nice**.

It was a fantastic trip, made so much memorable with the warm accommodations at Lyn and Steve's Ohana. They are very genuine, helpful and warm people. You'll love talking to them.
The accommodation is cute, homey and very comfortable. You truly feel like you're on holiday when you're staying there.
With the complimentary boogie boards, umbrella and beach chairs, it's rounds out a great experience.
Thanks Lyn & Steve, from Brenda and John. |

my family stayed in steve's ohana over christmas this past year, wow !!! the biggest problem was that we had to come back home to freezing temps
steve and lynn were great hosts, the ohana was much better than a condo, the beach was a short walk, and the tan I got was very memorable. I hope to be able to make it back there someday |

| Stayed at the Oahana this past March 2007 and it is a wonderful place. Close to the beach and nearby restaurants. Felt very safe here and the place was very clean with a brand new tiled bathroom. Steve and Lynn were very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Maui and the Kihei area which is so much nicer than Lahaina. |

| We loved staying at the Ohana. It was very nice and clean. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful tile and fixtures in the bathroom. (I have stayed at many fancy resorts in tropical climates with the worst bathrooms.) And the shower was huge. We walked to the beach everyday with our kids. It was great to have some yard for them to play in. Steve and Lyn were great resources and friendly. We are recommending it to all our friends and woudl love to go again. |

Our time in Maui at Keoneikai Ohana was unforgettable. The little house itself is very clean, supplied with pretty much anything you could want. If it's not in the house, the Biskis' are more than accommodating at arranging things for you...ie: coolers, boogie boards, tips on the island etc. Even though they share a driveway with you, your privacy is very well respected. Ivan is a wonderful little man, as is the rest of the family. I would highly recommend this rental property to anyone - I'm personally already looking at when we could return again to paradise!

| We were so please to have found this place during our search for accomodations in Maui. It was our first time to the island and were uncertain of the area. Steve and Lyn provided the perfect get away with all the essentials already in place. The place was very clean, up to date, private and quiet. We were able to keep up with personal and business needs over the supplied wireless hookup for my lap top as well as the desk top computer that was provided. There was nothing that was missing. Thanks. It was a great, well needed vacation. |

| What a find! We absolutely loved the Keonekai Ohana! It was private, clean, and comfortable with all of the ammenities we wanted and more. It was great having beach gear like coolers, chairs, and boogie boards available for our use, not to mention the washer/dryer, A/C, and WiFi. The Biskis family was incredibly helpful and friendly to boot. We only want to stay in the Keonekai Ohana when we come to Maui! |

We've been coming to Maui for many years. This year our regular place was no longer available so we started looking. We found a listing on "Craigs list" that sounded to good to be true.
What a find. Great location, comfortable and clean. This ohana is located in a quiet neighborhood but just steps from the beach. A fully stocked kitchen made cooking meals very easy, and the washer and dryer are very handy. We took use of the computer located there which is a nice touch.
The Biskis family is very warm and welcoming. They help to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
We've already booked out next years stay and can't wait.

We really enjoyed our stay at Keonekai Ohana, even with the big earthquake and the resulting power outages, and the torrential rains the next day!
The property is clean, comfortable, ideally located, and a great deal! You won't find a better accommodation at this price.
Steve and Lyn were perfect hosts -- friendly and attentitive to our needs, but also giving us the privacy we desired.
Overall, we highly recommend! |

| We honeymooned in Kihei, Maui and stayed at the Keonekai Ohana property of the Biskis Family. What wonderful, welcoming people! We had such a wonderful time and memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you! We couldn't of stayed in a better place. With your added touches, we felt at home. Anyone inquiring about a rental through the Biskis Family-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you, and you have such a nice family too! Ivan is adorable! |

| Have been to Maui many times, and always choose to stay off the beaten path of tourists, and conjestion. We were able to stay so long on the island because we saved so much staying at the Biskis' Ohana. The Ohana is cute, clean, and is a great place to return to after a day of exploring the island or being at the beach. The beach is very close, and some of the best snorkeling on the island is close(south Kehei)(Please remember not to touch the coral,and educate yourself on how to protect Hawiian waters, and reefs). The Biskis' were so generous in making sure we had everything we needed. Steve, Lynn, and their family truly embodied the aloha spirit. We had such a great time. Mahalo |

| This was a very plesant place to come home to after playing at the beach. It had everything you needed. We were able to stop at Costco on the way in and get food to make at home or have a piknic and saved us a ton of money. The Biskis family were so nice and I would recommend them to anyone.

The place was very spacious, clean, and had all the
amenities that any traveler would need. It was the
perfect place to come back to after a long day of
hiking through Hana or just laying out at the beach.
The best; however, was the sheer generosity of the
Biskis family and their smiling little boys...it was a
home away from home for sure. |
