The condo is pretty much as described. The bed is very comfortable and there are many things that are extra like lunch box, beach towels etc. that are great to have. Barbara was great to work with, the CD player wouldn't work and the Iron was missing. She brought new ones of both the same day I called. Wouldn't have asked for the CD player but we brought some with us and bought new ones. The property is well maintained. We found some hair and dust bunnies, and when I got water on the floor and wiped it up the floor was dirty didn't seem like it was washed before we came, but because it was by the refrigerator it might just have been that area, because it looked clean. This was a minor thing. We found because of the trade winds and the sugar cane burning it is tough to keep up with dust on some days. The Trade winds blowing was great kept it cool. The view off the Lanai is worth renting the place, so enjoyed sitting out there and watching the waves. The kitchen had almost everything except they were out of coffee filters, we just bought some and left the rest, again a small thing. I imagine unless you had a very detailed check list it would be hard to keep up with when you are out of something like that. There were lot's of TP and paper towels. It took me awhile to figure out where the TP holder is because it is inside the nearest cupboard to the toilet. Just a little confusing. The activities business in the Harbor she recommended was great, Scott took great care of us. There are coupons and lot's of literature to help if you want some direction on where to go. We did the Reefdancer, Four Winds II Molokini snorkel trip, Haleakala, trip to Hana, Warren & Annabelle Magic show in Lahaina and ate at Maui Taco, Milagro's in Paia for the Banana Macadamia Pancakes & Ruth Chris Steak House (specials from 5-7 saved us a lot of money) all were absolutely great especially the Magic show, I highly recommend it! Barbara leaves a Banana Bread that's fabulous, better than the one we bought. The small beach was very nice and close to longer ones down the road. We really enjoyed our stay, Barbara was great when one of our flights meant we needed another night, she was very accommodating! The place is very central for getting to other parts of the island. Great place to rent, will very much recommend it.

This is definitely worth a return trip. The location is fabulous. The view is perfection and I loved that it is away from the crowds, in a small village setting. The suite is great. Everything I needed was there and more. Barbara gave a lot of info that really paid off. For example, I got a good deal on a rental; a good deal on a whale watching tour with an excellent company. Barbara was great - quickly answered email, calls and her lovely welcoming gesture really was very touching. I would encourage travellers to use her place.

We enjoyed every minute of our 4 week stay at your comfy condo #206.We ate most of our meals on the deck taking in the gorgeous ocean views and sounds (great deck dining table and chairs, by the way)The sectional couch was really comfortable on the evenings that we stayed in and watched one of your dvds from the big selection you have in the condo. The great ocean view from the kitchen made cooking and clean up a pleasure (not something I'd normally say!!)The kitchen is well supplied with lots of good quality pots and pans, utensils etc
We slept well in the queen size bed with the breeze from the window and/or ceilling fan and appreciated all the drawers.
It's obvious Barbara that you put lots of thought into making your condos a home away from home.We hope to come back next year

We had a great time. Very nice place, well equiped, and we like the central location on the island, to allow us easy access to either side of the island. Oh, and the great view. We would, I should say, will stay there again.

My fiance and I stayed at Barbara's condo for 6 nights during October. We had a great time thanks to the wonderful condo. The condo was very clean and well-equipped. We cooked dinner (stopped by the Costco near the airport) almost every night as the kitchen is fully equipped and enjoyed the fabulous ocean view on the lanai. We took full advantage of the indoor washer and dryer, so we had clean beachwear everyday. The beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkeling gears also came in handy. Staying in this condo will definitely save you a lot of money and provide you amenities that hotels won't offer. The location is also excellent and central in a quiet neighborhood that is close to the airport, Lahaina, and Kannapali. I definitely like it better than Kihei. Lastly, Barbara was very professional and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend this condo to everyone. I know I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Maui. Thank you, Barbara.

Location...Location... Location. What a great centrally located spot for travelling either east or west on the island. We felt we were in the middle of things, but at the same time in a quiet place, off the beaten path! The view of the Bay with Haleakala in the background is beautiful. And oh those sunrises!!! We felt very much at home here. Big Beach was a favorite, but the litle beach just down the street was a well kept secret. It felt like "our own!" The place is well equipped. If you're coming for two weeks, pack for only one. The washer and dryer made it so convenient! Although there are many wonderful restaurants, we found it just as rewarding cooking steaks on the grill by the water, and eating dinner on the lanai with a nice glass of wine, while watching the sunset. What a perfect way to end the day! Thank you so much Barbara, for sharing your piece of paradise. We expect we'll be back soon!
Best regards,
Mark & Julie Gullotti

We had a great time in your condo, and especially appreciated all the beach equipment, even down to coolers and a big beach bag! The kitchen is really nicely equipped too - and the bbq on the lawn was amazing. Thanks for thinking of everything one would need for a perfect vacation.

The condo, it's location, comforts, accommodations, and views were outstanding!!! We experienced stormy weather, but were sheltered in our condo (could still enjoy the rain from the patio!). We experienced sugar cane field burn, but were protected from smoke and ash (learned about the life cycle of sugar cane!). We dined on the patio for every meal, and enjoyed morning, noon and nightime views (they really were spectacular!). We enjoyed everything about the condo. We'd love to come and stay again, and will certainly recommed it to our friends.

Our 20th trip to Hawaii and it never fails to amaze us. Barb's condo provided for all our needs, we wanted for nothing. Washer/Dryer in condo is a real plus, as was the covered parking. We recommend this condo and hope to stay there again. Mahalo

Pleasantly rewarded with the sounds of the surf and the quiet, private atmosphere of this condo. Great location for touring the westside and south parts of Maui. Covered parking kept car cool. Barbara was very accomodating.
The restaurant downstairs had delicious food, impeccable service and beautiful view of the water.
