"Aloha Rick and Vicky, There are few times a person can find and touch their inner and outer feelings. My inner feelings were a quieting of the daily world I live in. My outer experience was the Outrigger Paddle. Always a balance. Thanks for all your efforts to make Bonnie and I get the most out of our days here. Russ Wish we'd done this sooner and more often. 10 days is a minimum stay! Thanks for including us in some of your activities. It made us feel right at home. We're leaving lots warmer, a little bit tanner and ver much rested! Aloha, Bonnie (friends from the past)" - Russ and Bonnie, Grass Valley, Ca., 02/22/07

"My Wife and I stayed at Rick and Vicky Trails 2nd condo in Kihai, which is the unit facing the main road one block to the awesome sunsets of charlie young beach park and 20 paces from the great pool. The condo was very nicely equiped and decorated, it came with all the comforts of your Hawaiian home, full kitchen, washer and dryer, dishwasher, all the kitchen equipment we needed. It also provided a cooler, beach chairs, snorkeling equipment etc. the condo was very nicely furished with a large closet and comfortable bed in the master bedroom as well as a sleeper sofa, there was a nice TV, DVD player and stereo as well as books and activities magazines. we stayed in Kehai for four days and Kanapali for four days and we really enjoyed the homey and laid back lifestyle in Kehai. Kanapali and Lahina were much more crowded and tourist filled. We loved the short drive to Big beach (makeena) and the lava flows, we were also a very short drive to Kahalui for the costco, walmart etc. but kehai has great stores. we saved hundreds on food by shopping and preparing our own meals. I could go on and on. the bottom line is we booked this condo sight unseen and were extremely happy both with the condo and the friendliness of Rick and Vicki, who were staying at their 2nd condo in Kehai. for the price, location and ammenities I would highly recommend this rental. in Fact we saw their other unit and both were excellent. ***** 5 stars We plan to go back and stay again in the future because we loved it so much, I wish I could buy one but this is the next best thing, and it blows a hotel away. please feel free to contact us with any specific questions. Thanks Lowell Yost" - Lowell and Tina Yost, Portland, OR, 05/02/06

"Rick & Vicky, Our stay in your place made paradise paradise.With all the comforts of home, we explored Maui from north and south to east and west. In fact, it is the beginning place of something so magical. 2119 will fix in our memories as our time on Maui. We look forward to one day returning and experiencing it all over again." - Mitch & Barbara, Maryland & Hawaii, 03/23/06

"Aloha and Mahalo for doing such an amazing job with the renovations! It was truly a dream to be in this unit. We've stayed at the Maui Vista a number of times and this room is just perfection... And in a strange twist of fate we wound up in the one room (of all rooms!) blessed by Keoki, our friend as well! Small world huh? or maybe just a small island! In any case, thanks so much for the marvelous stay. We'll see you next year! Maui No Ka Oi!" - Sherlyn & Aric, Queens, New Yor, 01/28/06
