"We had a wonderful stay in Maui at your condo. What a nicely equipped, clean and wonderful location. Not too many places where it is so easy to walk & snorkel on a quality beach. Appreciated the beach recommendations, easy check in (and out), and most of all – our first time in an outrigger canoe. What an experience! Thanks so much! Despite snorkeling at two different beaches every day, we still didn’t quite get our fill. But, harvesting some king salmon back in the valley may help ease the transition. Next time we come, we’ll try to bring some fresh salmon for you. Thanks again. John & Vinnie Mahalo!! " - John & Vinnie, Wasilla, AK, 05/24/09
