Dear Jan, Terrie and Dave,
What a beautiful condo you have!  We feel so fortunate to have found it on the internet.  It was so well stocked!  We’ve never stayed in a condo with such great extras.

We all enjoyed our time here, although we would have enjoyed a few more days.  We packed our 3 full days very full!  Sunrise at Haleakala summit was spectacular.  Big Beach was beautiful and boogie boarding a challenge.  The road to Hana was an all day affair but a great adventure- our favorite was the rope swing at Twin Falls.  We enjoyed snorkeling and boogie boarding on the big waves of West Maui.

Easter on Maui was a memorable day with an Easter Egg Hunt in the bushes just outside the condo.  We’ve added our mini eggs to the overstocked “toy” closet.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful place!

What a wonderful surprise to find that the condo was much nicer than what we saw on the pictures on the internet (not that they were not good) but this place is in a perfect location- very safe and beautifully decorated.  My husband and I were very comfortable and happy during our stay.  Thank you and please call us if we forgot anything.

Dear Terrie and Dave-
This last week has been absolutely wonderful!  Our stay here has been “heaven sent”.  It has indeed felt like “home away from home”…just without all the cares and responsibilities and hustle and bustle of home.

You have done a wonderful job on your remodeling.  And…have taken great thought and care in providing all the amenities your guests could want and then some!  The little extra touches truly do make your guests feel right at home!  This has been a much needed vacation and we have enjoyed every minute of it!  We felt as if we didn’t need to leave the condo to enjoy ourselves….although we did.  The view from the lanai was absolutely wonderful and enjoyed by all of us.  I could have spent all day just sitting out on the lanai reading or visiting or dining, especially at sunset time.  And we at some point did enjoy all three!  One of my most favorite things to do during the week was to watch for whales.  That has been such a fun un-expected extra treat!  All in all our time here has been fabulous!  And your description of your “home away from home” was exactly as you described and more.  We were so not disappointed!

Thank you for furnishing your home so nicely and for the absolutely wonderful stay here!  We will certainly recommend it to others.

What a nice surprise, your condo is beautiful, equipped with everything you would possibly require.  We have never stayed in a rental unit that has been decorated this nice and for that our two weeks were so comfortable. 

The view is spectacular, we enjoyed whale watching, having happy hour on the lanai, and watching the sunset.  We could easily become a permanent fixture.

Thank you for making our stay in Hawaii a great one.  We will be back!!

What a wonderful place to spend six weeks of Canadian Winter.  The condo is lovely and the pictures on the internet don’t do it justice.  The 180 degree view and spectacular sunsets are worth the trip to Maui.  Being here for a while, we have done lots of sightseeing, beaching, shopping, and of course, eating.  Now we’re going home to lose some weight.

The “Maui Revealed” book from your collection is the best tourist guide we have come across.  Everything you wanted to know, and then some, is in this book.  We bought a book for ourselves so we wouldn’t ruin your copy.  We also took a trip to Hana and purchased the CD Audio Tour which was most informative and enjoyable.  We left it behind for any of your future guests enjoyment.  NOTE:  When you are leaving Paia- start the CD on Track 2.

Saw lots of whales, fed cardinals on the lanai, experienced a tsunami warning, had several days of terrific wind storms which did a lot of devastation and many beaches were lost (But they are recovering), relaxed on the lanai, lived with a minor bathroom problem, etc.

We just made your home, our home.  Thank you for the hospitality.  We will be in touch regarding returning next year.

Dear Jan, Terrie and Dave-
            We feel as though we’ve been guests of dear friends in their beautifully equipped condo.  Thank you for providing so lavishly for your guests!
            I wish we were here much longer- 5 nights was much to little-  too much to do; too little relaxing time!  After many cloudy, rainy days in Hawaii, we finally had a glorious sunset on Tuesday night.  Awesome!  We’ll just have to come back!            The condo was shining clean when we arrived.  Louise is a prize!  And all your little provisions- snacks, coffee, etc were an extra treat.  (We added sugar to your staples).
            Thanks again!

Dear Terrie, Dave and Naish,
            Thanks for letting us stay in your condo.  We had a great time.  The weather was great and the beaches even better.  We all loved the beaches and the pools here in Wailea.  Thank you for all the furniture out on the porch.  It was very helpful.  Also, thanks for the Christmas tree.

Dear Terrie Dave and Naish:
            We had such a wonderful, relaxing time here in your beautiful condo.  It really felt like home.  There were a couple of days where all we wanted to do was lounge on the lanai and take in the view.  We didn’t want to leave!
            You’ve been so thoughtful in considering everything we could possibly need- from driving instructions to the beach gear, kitchen amenities to DVDs.  This will definitely be a memorable 35th wedding anniversary for us.

Terrie, Dave and Naish-
            Thank you so very much for sharing your home here in paradise with us.  The last 6 weeks have been a dream come true.  We have spent so many hours here in this beautiful condo- sitting on the lanai and enjoying the wonderful scenery- the ocean and the most beautiful sunsets.  We’ve also spent a lot of time sitting out there and feeding the cardinals.  To have them come and eat right out of your hand was an extra special treat.
            I can’t think of anything we haven’t enjoyed here.  The road trips, the beach, the scenery, the shopping and the extra special time spent with extra special people.  And of course, learning to snorkel was also an experience (One we both enjoyed).
            John says the trip up the mountain to see the sunrise was one of the really special times and it was.  The stars were so close and we saw the moon rise about an ours or so before the sunrise—can’t really decide which was more beautiful.  Like I said all in all everything has been terrific.  We are really hoping to come back some day and do it all over again.
            Thank you again for everything!
