| Emilio & Melisa 1/8/10 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. |
| Chad 1/1/2010 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. |
| Rosanne & Chris 10/9/2009 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! |
| PJ & Elise 9/26/2009 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. |
| J & W 7/8/2009 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! |
| Rick Joan Kyle & Brett 1/5/2010 Incredible views. Great condo. Had a great vacation. Hope to be back. |
| Mike Paula Nick & Bey Wow! Wonderful condo. Everything is so nicely done. We had a wonderful vacation. |
| Richard 1/5/2010 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. |
| Gary 11/3/2009 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. |
| Cathy & Chris 9/30/2009 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! |
| Joseph Deborah Melody Layton 6/12/2009 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. , |
