"We arrived in mid-February to find a clean, beautifully decorated, and incredibly well-stocked condo, with breathtaking views of Maui's stunning blue waters. From the perfectly situated balcony, we watched humpback whales, dolphins, and green sea turtles, it was unforgettable.
We enjoyed coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evenings out there, and it was pure perfection. On our fourth morning, in the middle of watching a baby whale breach and while sipping hot coffee, my sweetie popped the question, we got engaged right there on the balcony!
We're already dreaming of returning for future annual celebrations. This truly is a little slice of heaven, and we can't wait to come back."

"We had a beautiful stay here! Place was centrally located on island so nothing was too far for a day trip and exploring. Easily had everything you need for meals in, if you desire. Lounging by the water was a great late afternoon/evening treat to unwind from the day. Had a spectacular view one morning of six sea turtles feeding on the rocks right off of the balcony. Great host."

"We had a wonderful stay at Kathy's place. The ocean view is absolutely breathtaking, and the soothing sound of the waves made it so peaceful. The location near the harbor was perfect for water excursions, and it's just a short drive to Kihei and Wailea. We especially enjoyed being able to step right onto the beautiful beaches of Ma'alaea. The condo is beautifully furnished with comfortable beds and cozy furniture, making it feel warm and welcoming. We also appreciated the thoughtful touches, like providing everything needed for a day at the beach-cooler, chairs, sand toys, umbrella, and beach towels."
