Heavenly Vacations Reviews

Thanks Carl and MIchele for your beautiful condo. We loved the ocean view. Drinking coffe on the Lanai while watching whales was outstanding! Your home is beautiful, comfortable, and we felt the aloha spirit. The central location made it convenient for walking to the Pacific Whale Foundation, shops, resturants, and the harbor. We enjoyed our walks on the beautiful 3 miles of Sugar Beach. We took advantage of the pool and the amazing lawn right outside the door. We appreciated the supply of boogie boards for playing in the ocean. Your condo is quiet, relaxing, and a perfect place to vacation.

Aloha Tom and Dave,
It's hard to believe the trip we booked last Nov. is over and we are back to reality. Our 10 days spent in your beautiful condo in Aug. was one of our most relaxing vacations ever.Your little piece of Maui paradise was beyond our expectations. We loved Maalaea for its central, quiet location and the beautiful breezes. Oh, how I miss sitting on the lanai watching the palm trees sway with the water and Haleakala right in front of us. The grounds are so well groomed with the thickest, lushest lawns I've ever walked on. The park at the end of the street with miles of beach for walking was fabulous. It beats walking on the roads here.
Your kitchen is so well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We ate all our breakfasts and all but 3 lunches in the unit. What a savings that was! Even though it was just the 2 of us, we really appreciated the extra space. Also, the central AC was a must for us since John doesn't like humidity. The condo was so well decorated and spotless. The artwork and beautiful ceramics kept me mesmerized for 10 days.
We went Upcountry one day and got a different perspective of Maui. The views from there are beautiful and the air is cooler. We had lunch at Kula Lodge that day and browsed the Curtis Wilson Cost Gallery. He does some of the most beautiful paintings. It's worth a trip just for that reason. We saved The Waterfront next door for our last nights dinner. We definitely enjoyed every morsel of food. Thank you for suggesting it to us.
Your basket of goodies was amazing. We made very good use of most of it. We saved those great cookies for the very long , boring flight home. We enjoyed trying fruits we don't normally have such as papaya and star fruit. Really good! We loved meeting you and putting a face to the voice. Thank you for allowing us to check out later to accommodate our mid afternoon flight. We would definitely recommend this unit to anyone wanting a beautiful, clean comfortable place to stay. We hope to return again.
Mahalo,

John and Beverly Babel

We had the pleasure of spending two relaxing weeks at this very well equipped and very clean, comfortable condo in late July 2008. This was our first trip back to Maui since our honeymoon 21 years earlier. We are now a family of six (Mom, Dad and 4 Children ages 8-20), but the condo slept 6 very comfortably. Maalaea Bay was an excellent choice for us because, while it is central to many of our daily destinations, it is a very quiet and relaxing area to make home.

The kitchen had everything we needed, and we only had 2 restaurant meals out our whole trip. Costco, Walmart and Safeway were all within 15 mins. of the condo. If you go to Safeway make sure you have a Safeway Club Card to maximize savings. The condo had other extras like coolers, beach mats and lawn chairs, which we used daily.

The Maalaea Kai complex has a beautiful view and groomed grounds and a lawn like a golf green. We particularly enjoyed sitting at the barbeque cooking dinner and enjoying a pre-dinner beverage while taking in the surroundings. The pool was in great shape and a wonderful respite from the heat in the late afternoon.

Most days we hit beaches from Wailea (25 mins. South) to Honolua Bay (45 Mins. North) and all places in between. Talk to Monica at Snorkel Bob’s in South Kihei and she will set you up with everything you need including Boogie Boards and maps of the island’s beaches. One of the highlights of our trip was swimming with turtles (Honu), as well as seeing the spinner dolphins on an excursion that Monica booked for us.

Thanks Tom for accommodating our late check out and the beautiful basket with all the flavours of the island.

We would highly recommend this condo to anyone planning a trip to Maui. We hope to return very soon.

We stayed at the property from 5/29/08 to 6/6/2008. It was a wonderful property and a great rate. It is centrally located on the island, you can easily reach any point within minutes. The pool is a really nice bonus with a great view! Some places we enjoyed eating are Mama's Fish House, Kimo's, Lahaina Fish Co. All had great seafood. The aquarium is so close and a must! It is a great place to get a break from the beach. Also the Road to Hana and a drive up the crater is breathtaking!

I had the opportunity to experience Christmas 2007 in the embrace of this
extraordinary Maui condominium. The views from the lanai--swaying palm trees--soft breezes--sunlight reflecting on the Pacific are deeply encoded in my memory...along with the the sweet island air and flora resonating all around me! The location of this condo is fantastic and the special touches of its interior
space held me in the aloha spirit for my entire stay....and followed me home to NYC!
