As frequent visitors to Hawaii we've tried all sorts
of lodgings and this unit easily ranks as the best
condo we've stayed in.  The ocean view allowed
us the opportunity for excellent morning and
evening whale watching and the balcony was our
own private place of refuge after the rigors of a
day of sightseeing.
The condo was quiet, clean, well stocked and the
amenities like the pool, hot tub, grills and so on,
were all well maintained. This is definitively at the
top of the list for future Maui visits, but
mean-while, thanks for letting us experience Maui
in relaxed comfort.

Place was great and the whales were everywhere!
complex.  I really hope to return some day soon.
Hi Ken & Claire, Really enjoyed our stay.
Preferred it to Kehei.  Saw lots of whales and a
few turtles.  The lanai was perfect!
"Thank You" so much for giving us the opportunity
to share your little piece of paradise. It is so
tranquil here listening to the constant sounds of
the ocean.  What a treat for us to be able to just
veg out with good books and "happy hour" each
evening on the lanai. The next time we come back
to Maui we hope that the Mahana 1213 is
available.  Any other place has a very tough act to
follow.  Everything about your place is Perfect!
ps Wish we would have been here for our 29th
anniversary on 11/28...it is
so romantic here.
Your place was a perfect "base" of operations for
us on Maui.  Really liked all the modern
appliances (especially the blender for the odd
pina colada...) Ken, you were right about the
great condition of The Mahana is kept in.  BBQ's
were fantastic.  Hope to return.  Regards.

We had a great time in Maui.  Your condo was the
lanai. We loved waking up and falling asleep to
the sounds of the ocean waves. We were very
impressed with how clean the grounds were kept
at The Mahana.  We would definitely recommend
this place to our friends.  We hope that we will be
back someday too!

Had a great time. Enjoyed the condo and location.
 Hope to come back again.
This condo is so comfy & perfect! View was
Spectacular and amazing. Everything was perfect;
especially the kitchen (had everything you
needed). 1st time to Hawaii and hope to come
back again.  Thanks so much for  a wonderful
place to stay after a long day of hiking.
Aloha Ken! Today is our last day on Maui and we
are sad to be leaving this amazing condo. It was
such a treat to fall asleep to the sound of the
ocean. We really enjoyed our stay there and felt
very much at home.  We hope to come back again
in the future.

Thank you for sharing your lovely piece  of
heaven on earth.  We truly enjoyed it.
Christie & Don  5/24/2009
Thank you for everything you provided for us in
the condo. We had everything we needed to
make it a wonderful stay. Like others have said we
out there than we thought we would. We loved
The Mahana's pool and hot tub. When we cooked
here was so nice and relaxing to stay here & I'd
highly recommend 1213 to anyone coming to
Maui.  It was a trip we won't forget.  Thanks!!
p.s. We appreciated all the newer kitchen
appliances, TV, bed, etc. Everything has a new
feel to it which made it that much nicer!

We absolutely loved staying in your condo for 2
weeks and will recommend it to anyone ankling. In
fact we already did but you were booked. This
condo is tastefully decorated and equipped. It
added to a wonderful visit with gorgeous views
lovely sunsets a quiet pool relaxing spa and a
great Lanai. We are sitting in your comfortable  
Brown and Jordan furniture on the lanai on our
last morning, but sadly don't want to leave. We
would love to come back again next year to this
very same condo. Our only suggestion is to
second the comments about a room darkening
shade on the window in the second bedroom.  
Thanks for making our stay fantastic.

Thank you for sharing such a special place. The
decor, location, views are just incredible. We had
a fantastic time and were even treated to the
most beautiful rainbow directly in front of the us.
Our last morning on the lanai.  We simply could
not have asked for anything more! Amazing!!!!
Steve & Tom. What a beautiful condo. Thank you
so much for sharing it with so many! This was our
third trip to Maui and the best one yet. We will
never go back to staying at a resort! The condo
was very clean, spacious, had everything we
needed plus some.  The Hawaiian Cd's were a
nice touch. The sunset from the lanai - amazing!
What a hidden gem. We look forward to our next
visit.

One word- WOW!!! What can I say? After several
visits to all the islands at several hotels probably
not enjoyed any lodging as much as several visits
to all the islands at several hotels we have yours!
Absolutely gorgeous & not and a couple of rental
houses, we have skimping on any of the details
makes all the difference. If we manage to
purchase a condo here I want to know your
contractor / decorator! Thanks, truly, for such a
lovely place!
We had a great time in Maui & Oahu! Beautiful
condo - it was breathtaking when we walked in
and it was so nice to have everything fully
stocked. Our highlights included biking Haleakala,
shopping in road to Hana.  We loved having the
beach right out front and appreciated the snorkel
gear. Overall we loved our first trip to Hawaii and
hope to return soon!
Got engaged the day before we came!!! We had
an amazing 14 days in Maui and truly enjoyed
every minute of the Condo. While here we
adventured many different places! The best thing
was we saw a giant pod of spinner dolphins.
This home is beautiful and we love all the
attention to detail. The view gets no better than
this!! Our trip highlights were bike riding down
thew volcano and swimming with the turtles at
Black Rock. Thank you for sharing your wonderful
home...now it's back to rain in Washington!

We came to Maui celebrate our daughters high
school graduation with her friend. We've been to
Hawaii several times but this condo was the best
accommodation we've had. We all loved it and
hope to return.

You have a wonderful condo here.  We had an
amazing time and will be coming back soon!
Hopefully.
Thanks,

Lisa & Fred    10/18-10/23
Wow!! Unbelievable!! Picture Perfect!!  These
were the first words out of my husband and my
mouths when we first walked in your beautiful
condo!!  We were in awe of the beautiful ocean
view and the sunsets were spectacular!  Every
morning we enjoyed sitting and relaxing on you
Lanai just mesmerized by the crshing waves and
beauty that lay before us!
My husband and I are here celebrating our 25th
anniversary!!  After being blessed with 4
wonderful children and watching 2 of our children
endure chemotherapy treats for cancer, we feel
so blessed to be able to relax and enjoy life as it
is meant to be enjoyed!!
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful place with
us!  We hope to bring our family back here
someday.

The Doherty’s 9/8/11
Wonderful!!  Had a very miraculous time in a very
Miraculous Place!!  Love It…  See you next year!!
PS  I did not want to leave but knew I better.

Camille & Mary  7/31/ 2011
Wow!  We knew this place was going to be
beautiful, but were still taken back by just how
beautiful you Maui hale is.  You’ve furnished and
decorated it perfectly.  We spent hour on the
lanai, mesmerized by the ocean.  We did a lot
while we were her.  Parasailing was awesome.  
We took a dinner cruise with Pacific S=Whale
Foundation the food was good, but eh best part
was a large pod of rare “False Killer Whales’
showed up and played around the boat for 30-40
mins.  Even the crew stopped to take pictures.  
Iao state park was a lovely change and worth the
drive.  Malokini snorkel trip was great but got a ‘lil
sea sick.  We leave tomorrow and honestly I hope
to come back someday.  I hope everone who
stays here respects the effort you’ve put into
making an inviting and welcoming place to stay.

The Cook Family 6/11
Our family enjoyed your condo. What a wonderful
surprise when we walked in the door:  The view,
the sound of the waves, the toys, all the
amenities.  Everything was perfect!  Thank you so
much for such a pleasant stay.
