Heavenly Vacations Reviews

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!

Hi,
I stayed here in the early part of June and had a
wonderful stay at this condo. The view was great,
and the space was so relaxing and beautiful. The
location was close to a lot of places we wanted to
go to, and the sunrises were inspiring each
morning. My artistic Muse was alive here. It was
more luxury than I would ordinarily choose to
pamper myself with--even if I was rich... (but I
shared the place with a couple relatives so it was all
good!) A big thumbs up to the experience as a
whole!

I just discovered this online guestbook for A Hauoli Kane Hale and had to add my experience and appreciation. I spent Christmas of 2007 there with my partner Elias and we could not have made a better choice.

David & Tom made us feel like we had our own home in Maui. They were attentive in that just enough kind of way: local blended coffees, tips on what was happening, spa slippers & robes and magnificent tropical flowers.

As a writer I had many inspirations sitting on the terrace absorbing the breath-taking view. I even put a photo of it on my January blog at focalizing dot com.

If you are considering a visit, you will find yourself in the best of hospitaity, comfort and natural beauty.

Enjoy
