"Thank you so much for providing everything a guest can wish for in your beautiful condo. Your service is great, the ocean view is amazing. We would love to come back. Aloha and Mahalo" - Michael & Eva, Phoenix / Arizona, 01/19/10
"We had a wonderful stay at the condo in December 2009. The views really are beautiful, the lanai is dreamy, the pool is close, the kitchen is well stocked. We were really impressed with how clean and well decorated the place was. Loved the shower. We had an awesome time at Big Beach and Wailea Beach, nearby. Would absolutely recommend staying here." - Julie, Seattle, WA, 12/22/09
"Tim and Carolyn - we had an absolutely fabulous vacation in Maui! Your condo exceeded our expectations - you have created a lovely, romantic getaway that has every amenity. We enjoyed our evening wine watching the sunset on the lanai. Preparing meals in the kitchen was just as pleasant with the view. And having the PC was a really nice touch. Loved the spa at Grand Wailea, and favorite restaurants were Capische for dinner and Jawz tacos for lunch. Van and I will definitely be back!" - Carole & Van Robertson, Plano, Texas, 09/14/09
"7-12-09 Dear Tim and Carolyn, Our two weeks in Maui were amazing, and to always come home to the comfort of your condominium was truly the best thing about our trip. We snorkeled, we saw shows, we ate out, we shopped, we even went to Haleakala and about burst our ear drums, but after each adventure, your home was waiting for us to relax and unwind after each day. Watching the masses in the big hotels below made me realize we made the right decision, and after driving up the coast, realized that Wailea was extremely special. After talking to many people who took long flights here we feel almost guilty telling them Portland is a non-stop 5 ½ hr. flight. But even with a long flight Maui is worth the time and I know others feel that too. We're always vacationed in a family home in Manzanillo Mexico, but now we are having a difficult time deciding where to spend our next vacation/holiday. Thank you again. I'm glad I found your web site! Mahalo!" - Barbara + Jerry Newmark, Portland, OR, 08/06/09
"Great condo! It’s spacious, clean and nicely decorated. It has a spectacular view of the ocean and nearby islands from the Lanai and every room in the condo. It’s well-equipped with everything needed for a great vacation. The Ekolu complex is quiet and the grounds are immaculately landscaped with palm trees, plants and flowers. Some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are nearby in Wailea and Makena. Everything was perfect. I hope I can stay in this condo again next year." - David, California, 08/02/09
"Dear Tim and Carolyn, Jerry and I enjoyed our stay in Wailea in your lovely home this summer very much. We felt close to the beach (what great beaches around this area!) and of course shopping was right out the door. Coming in from a day at the volcano, the beach, or exploring the coastline was like coming home. We had everything we needed. The area was quiet and everything about Ekolu was exceptional. I look forward to a time we can return to Maui and I will contact you for another stay in your lovely condo. Barbara and Jerry Newmark" - Barbara Newmark, Portland, OR, 07/26/09
"We had a lovely stay at tim and carroll condo on maui.The condo is beautiful and well stocked with all your vacation needs.The view from the lanai is breathtaking.The grounds of Ekolu are beautiful with a nicely maintained pool.We would recomend this property to all our friends.Thank you Stephanie Jenkins" - stephanie jenkins, auburn calif, 11/20/08
"Hello, Tim and Carolyn. We are packing and cleaning up in preparation for our departure at 11 this morning. Our time here has been terrific. Your unit certainly lived up to its billing, and the location was very convenient. We did not use the air conditioning at all, but did use the ceiling fans on several occasions. Having a computer with internet access was a plus, and your entertainment center got some use in the later evening. We greatly appreciated the availability of beach chairs and the coolers, as well as the grill on the lanai. Our dining experiences were a bit mixed. We had very good casual meals at Maui Thai and Pita Paradise. Went to the seafood buffet at the Maui Prince, which was good but not great. Roy's was very disappointing. Pacific'O in Lahaina was very nice. Our favorite beach was Makena Landing, and also really liked Big Beach at Makena. We'd definitely be interested in renting your place again -- provided we can afford the airfare! We are trying to arrange a family trip (us + two daughters) for next year. Thanks again and best wishes. Jay " - Jay & Carol, Los Osos, CA, 05/02/08
"Tim, Thanks!! We had a blast! It was the perfect spot to end our tour of the island. Just in case you want to update the inventory: we left behind a cooler, a beach umbrella, a beach mat (I think you're up to 5 or 6 now), and a soccer ball. The place is wonderful! (not to mention the views from the lanai.) The breezes were such that we ran the A/C for about 15 mins one day, that was it! AND you are so easy to work with!! Thanks a million!! Treasa Mar 21-28, 2008" - Treasa, Kensington, MD, 04/03/08
"My partner and I have been spending 18 days on Maui each year for the past 10. We have rented 5 different condos looking for one we like most. We found it in this unit. T&C keep this condo and the entire experience around renting from them organized and comfortable. We highly recommend this property!" - Michael Norton, Linden, NJ, 03/28/08
"Aloha Tim + Carolyn, “A wonderful time was had by all”. Your beautiful condo was just what we were looking for. Thank you for sharing your “special retreat”. Dianne + Ray F. Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA Feb 3rd – 13th, 2008 " - Dianne + Ray F., Winnipeg, Manitoba CANADA, 02/21/08
"Tim & Carolyn, Your place is beautiful, the view spectacular! We stayed in Kaanapali the first 5 nights here on Maui and wish we had been here the entire time instead! This is such a peaceful location. We also loved being so close to all of our favorite beaches – Wailea, Ulua and Mokapu. Seeing whale spouts from the lanai was quite amazing as well!! Thank you for providing all of the amenities, not to mention computer with internet access and superb video / sound system. We enjoyed our stay here in your condo very much. Thanks again and thank you for directing us to Eskimo Candy!! Amy, Robin and Calum S. Jan 31 – Feb 3, 2008 " - Amy, Robin & Calum S., Menlo Park, CA, 02/19/08
"Aloha ~ My wife and I had the great pleasure of staying in your condo for a few nights. It was Amazing ~ and congratulations on a fantastic condo. The next time we come back (soon) we would love to stay longer. Mahalo and best regards, Mac & Susan PS - Loved the CD music " - Mac & Susan H., Calgary, Alberta Canada, 02/13/08
"Thank you Tim & Carolyn, This has been our first time to Maui and we loved our 2 ½ weeks here. The pace of condo living was just what we needed and we soo enjoyed our “home away from home”. We enjoyed countless beautiful sunsets from your incredible lanai as well as a few from Big Beach. It doesn’t take long to feel like a local. We really appreciated the tips you provided (Mulligan’s was a blast) and the attention to detail on your website. If anything we were more impressed with the condo, pool, grounds, gardens then we expected to be. Great place, great times…We’ll be back! All the best, Ronda & Curt G. – B.C. Canada – Jan 6 – 24, 2008 " - Ronda & Curt G., B.C. Canada, 02/11/08
"We got our convertible, and drove to our place in Wailea. After the last place we were in the week before, we were a little nervous about opening the door into Wailea Ekolu 607. The last place looked really nice on the site, but was filled with a lot of problems once we got there. It was almost a dive. So, Josh and I held our breath, got ready and opened the door to view our honeymoon paradise. AND IT WAS!!! This place is so gorgeous!! Josh and I were greeted by a view that the site couldn't even prepare us for, as well as a lovely card from the owners and a nice bottle of Champagne for us to enjoy! (Isn't that sweet? Much mahalo Carolyn and Tim!!!) the place is superb. We couldn't have done better for ourselves. We can see Molokini, Lanai, and an uninhabited island off of our HUGE lanai. And also off of our smaller (normal sized) lanai off of our bedroom. There are 2, yes TWO remote control air conditioners, (We didn't have A/C at our last place) and even a ceiling fan on the main lanai that works by remote. There are 2 bathrooms too, and one of them is sort of a sanctuary for us. The whole place is just pristine! We were so impressed, and overwhelmed by how it exceeded our expectations. Yesterday, we went out on the lanai to watch the sun set last night, and there is a neighborhood conch blower who comes out and salutes the sundown. How cool is that?? Also, the bed is out of this world: Honestly, it's the best nights sleep I've had in a long time. It's a king size, that is the perfect softness, and the pillows are divine. We have yet to actually visit the beach as of yet, we've been too busy hanging out with each other to spend too much time away from the condo. And that actually doesn't bother us at all, if you can imagine. Lissa & Josh Meade Honeymoon August 2007" - Lissa H., Corvallis OR, 12/11/07
"Hi Tim and Carolyn, Just wanted to thank you for the awesome stay at your Maui condo. In a 13-month period starting last September, I vacationed in Maui for a total of 26 days: four days at a new condo in Lahaina, 14 days at the Four Seasons in Wailea and eight days at your condo. If someone told me they would pay for my accommodations at any of these locations for my next vacation, it would be a toss-up between the Four Seasons and your condo but your condo would win. Yes, the Four Seasons is luxurious, the marble bathroom is larger than most people's bedrooms, the central air is whisper quiet and comfortable, walking down to the beach is a breeze. But your condo, when all is said and done, is more comfortable and infinitely more convenient. Yes, you have to drive to get to the beach, but it's only a five-minute trip to Ulua Beach next to the Marriott or the Wailea Beach right at the Four Seasons. (You could also walk but why waste the time?) Your condo was so incredibly relaxing that my husband and I had to keep reminding ourselves to get out and enjoy the sights. I got up every morning and drove down to the Wailea Beach area for a swim, came back and showered, had a leisurely breakfast on the patio and then headed out for sightseeing, shopping, etc. Coming back at night really felt like we were returning to all the comforts of home. I could offer more praise and more details but it might result in more people wanting to reserve your condo and less available time for my husband and me! " - Karen T., Sacramento, CA, 12/10/07
"Hi Tim and Carolyn, I wrote in your journal about our stay but want to let you know now that we had a wonderful time. At the time I called about the condo I had no clue as to where anything was in Maui but I now know I really lucked out. Besides the great location we loved the condo. You anticipated everything we needed and I loved the sheets-- that was a real treat. As I wrote in the journal, it was evident from your description and photos of your condo that you loved it very much so we treated it as such. (hey, we loved it ,too!) Thanks for having such a great place-- we didn't want to come back. Take care--Arlene and Paul Tammaro P.S. They are building a shopping center right on the corner of where Piilani Highway goes into Wailea. Hopefully it won't bring too much traffic. The quiet and peacefulness of your condo was so nice. " - Arlene & Paul T., Cupertino, CA, 10/24/07
"To Tim & Carolyn, We have been here for 10 wonderful days. We couldn't get enough of Maui and all it has to offer. The snorkeling was amazing. Mark 14, and Katrin, 18, both enjoyed it very much. They took surfing lessons and loved the water. We really enjoyed staying here, the view is fantastic. We are definitely looking forward to coming back to Hawaii and of course Maui!

""To Tim and Carolyn, Tim and I have come to Hawaii in the past years and thought it was wonderful. Our trip has been even more incredible. Your home is warm, wonderful and magical!
