It was a great pleasure to deal with Annette in renting her condo for the month of December. This was our 3rd trip to Maui but first time staying at the Kihei Akahi condo DG07 and wouldn't have it any other way for our next visit. The location, the amenities, the condo staff (office, maintenance and landscaping) were all great. The bed was soooo comfy. The kitchen was well stocked. The snorkeling and beach equipment were much appreciated. The extra 2 feet in the condo length, due to ground floor location, really made a difference. We had the best vacation ever. |

This is our third trip to Annette's beautiful Maui condo. We are always amazed by how well decorated Annette keeps her condo,how well kept the grounds of the complex are and how helpful the office staff is. This year we were pleased to see a laptop with free internet access in the condo which was a lovely bonus to our stay. It is so nice to go on vacation and know that everything you need to enjoy your time is already available to you free of charge in the suite!
Mahalo for sharing your tropical home with us. |

| We have just spent a month in Annette's condo in the Kihei Akahi and had a wonderful time. The Kihei Akahi itself is a beautiful, well maintained and quiet complex. Annette's condo certainly lives up to this standard! It is well equipped with everything you could possibly need and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the lock on the patio door which eliminated trips all the way around the building. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone considering Maui for a vacation. |

A lovely ground floor unit. We enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and found everything comfortable. It was great to have a lock on the patio door to eliminate all the trips around the building.
Hope to be back. |

We just got back from a wonderful week in Maui. We've stayed in Maui many times, but this condo was perfect: clean, updated and comfortable. And the ground floor access was great for our kids. We felt safe and secure. We will definitely stay again!

We spent a week in Annette’s delightful condo, and have one word to describe it: superb. It contains everything needed for your comfort, from abundant towels and linens to a wonderfully equipped modern kitchen. The gardens and pools at the Kihei Akahi are very well maintained, and in the D building where Annette’s condo is located you hear no street noise at all. The whole resort was very peaceful and quiet during our stay. The condo complex is well located for quick access to the South Maui beaches – we snorkeled at many of them and found the “Fishbowl” south of Wailea to be a real gem. We shall certainly return to this wonderful condo next time we come to Maui.

| Her condo was the best supplied condo (snorkel gear, towels, full kitchen, cooler, beach chairs ect.) that we saw on our vacation and we were with 10 other groups staying at the same complex. She was a pleasure to rent from and we will do it again. |

Without a doubt, Annette has provided an exquisite home-away-from-home, fully equipped and located across from a beautiful beach in paradise!!! It's easy to find, shopping & food is conveniently just minutes away - we wouldn't dream of staying ANYWHERE else on Maui!!!!

Hello Annette,
We are just get back to Japan, as we spent several days in Oahu after Maui. We really enjoyed the life at Maui with your beautiful condo. Anyway, thank you very much to share the comfortable condo. We found some improvement on your unit, and it was great. Also, some renewal kitchen staff was very good. My wife was hesitate to use the new pans at first, as it was shining too much and she would not like to make any surface flaws.
We are not sure when we can go back to Maui next time, while we hope to visit Maui every year. But we are sure that your condo will be 1st priority for accommodation.
Best Regards,
|

| PARADISE is the only word for Maui and Annette's condo. Everything about it was perfect. Our stay was very comfortable and she had everything we needed. The location was easy to find and close to anything we might need, from great beaches, great restaurants, and shopping. We definitely will stay there again and we are already telling our friends about this great place! Thanks again Annette! |

Thank you Annete for providing us a grate place to stay.
I think cost per comfortableness of this condo is very high. Location is perfect. And condo is clean and well equipped. Also there are some fun amenities for beach. I have been Maui more then ten times for windsurf. So I know some other condos. And, I think this unit is one of best of condos I stayed.
If this unit is available for my next Maui vacation, it will be very lucky.

| A great condo! Nicely decorated and very well equipped (from kitchen supplies to beach toys). For those of you who are familiar with the Kihei Akahi's stairs and slow elevators, you will appreciate the ground floor patio access of this condo. |

We had a lovely time in Annette's condo. The location was excellent (right across the street from the beach, right next to the swimming pool, within easy driving distance of Ulua Beach (easily the best place to snorkel in Maui)). The condo was comfortably furnished, and there were lots of books. Annette is a gracious host(ess) who does her best to make her guests feel welcome.

We stayed a month in Annette's condo and found it very well equipped and very comfortable. I was particularly pleased that we stayed on the ground floor as it was so convenient to the pool and barbecue. I initially had some reservations about the location - not about personal security as I always feel safe in Maui but about our travel documents, cash, etc. when we were at the beach or pool. I was really pleased to find that there was a safe in the bedroom closet. What a great idea!
We have booked again for a month next year. |

Had a WONDERFUL time in Kihei & your condo was perfect! Great location for everything & loved being on the ground floor where it was always nice & cooler. Both pools at the unit are nice & especially liked the pool right off the lanai. The grounds of the unit were beautiful & found myself taking lots of photos of flowers--something I have not ever done before!!!
Your condo has everything anyone could possibly ever need/use & was most thankful for the coffee grinder. In addition, thought the bed MOST comfortable.
Access to the Maui Dive Shop proved most beneficial for me. I booked several dive boat trips through the shop (one being the shop's dive boat out of Kihei) & also a great excursion to the volcano with a bicycle ride (or should I say a coast?) from the top of the volcano to the ocean in Pia.
Thank you for the use of your Hawaiian home--I shall return!

Had a wonderful stay in Maui thanks to Annette. The condo was wonderful. The ground floor kept it cool. The pool was right out our backdoor. We booked some activities with the folks right on the property, very easy and convenient. A wonderful beach was within walking distance. The shopping mall at Wailea is less than 10 minutes away. And we took the time to do the "Beachwalk" through the resort hotels next door, WOW! Don't miss this one! Thank you Annette, for a wonderful experience. |

We had a great brief stay!
Kihei Akahi is very well located in Kihei. Kihei's city layout is very disjointed, so Kihei Akahi is very lucky to be within walking distance of a beach and a minimall with a convenience store.
When I booked the condo I was a little concerned that it was a ground floor. We were very thankful it was, at around Noon and it was still cool in the condo. It was also nice to sit on the lanai and feed the birds or walk to the pool across the grass.
We cooked most of our meals in the condo's well-equipt kitchen. We also enjoyed that the condo isn't next to the main road and doesn't have any road noise.
I liked staying a Kihei Akahi because I felt more like a local and less like a tourist being run through the tourist traps. We were running on our own schedule and not the resort's.
It was a wonderful and relaxing trip! |

We just returned from a lovely visit to Anette's condo at Kihei Akahi. The setting was a lovely one for a truly relaxing vacation. Several excellent restaurants (Thai Chef, Canton Chef, and Da Kitchen) were within walking distance. Cooking at the condo was a breeze since all the possible kitchen utensils imaginable were there.
The snorkeling across the street between the Kamole Beach II and III was the best I have found on Maui after years of sampling all of the popular spots.
My wife and I felt perfectly safe and secure in the Kihei environment. The safe in the closet made a convenient place to keep our valuables so we wouldn't misplace them. The neighbors were nice and friendly and observed the quiet hours after 10:00 PM. All-in-all it was a lovely place to get away. Even on the rainy day, we enjoyed the books and videos available. I would recommend this condo to anyone who wants a reasonably priced piece of paradise. |
