Aloha Amy. Thank you so much for reviewing my condo. I really appreciate how you mentioned things that other guests might value and that you took such good care of my little place in paradise. I hope to see you again soon.

Aloha. Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review. It was a pleasure having you in my condo. I hope you return some day soon.

Mahalo for staying with me again. And thanks for taking time to post a review. Hope to see you again.

Mahalo to the guests for staying with me. The guest's statement is very puzzling as the Bedroom has a very large Jalousie style window about 10 feet wide and covered by cream colored pull cord drapes. It is immediately visible to anyone who walks into the Bedroom. On the inside of the Jalousie window is an internal soundproof window for guests who are sensitive sleepers. Instructions for using the soundproof feature and the Jalousie windows are on the dresser in the Bedroom and in the check-in document sent to guests after final payment.

Aloha Austin, Mahalo for your review. Yes, we were very lucky that Hurricane Lane didn't affect us here in Kihei. I am glad you had a great vacation and enjoyed the beaches and restaurants close by the condo. Thanks for taking good care of my little "home away from home." I hope to see the two of you back soon.

Aloha Lauren, Thank you for taking the time to review my condo. I am glad you found the location to be convenient and the condo in good condition. And thank you so much for leaving the condo in great condition. About phone service. Cell phone service can be sketchy at times throughout the island. It can be frustrating and is why I have a landline VOIP in my home-- so that I can have good conversations when needed and the signal isn't as strong as I would like. The Kihei Akahi is very strongly built with thick concrete walls which is both the good news and the bad news. The walls keep sound transfer through walls to other units down to a minimum. But, on the other hand, the thick walls do interfere with mobile phone signals -- just like in large office buildings and elevators. I provide a landline telephone in the condo with an extension in the bedroom for guests. Most of my guests don't use it because they have their own phones but it is there for those who really need good reception when the signal doesn't penetrate the walls. Mahalo for staying with me.

Mahalo Leonard!

Thank you to the guest for your review. I agree that the condo needed some additional care. Unfortunately, the guest came in on a day that another guest had just checked out. Because my cleaner was out of town, I was the cleaner and when I arrived at the condo, I found that some essential items had gone missing or were broken and two of the four hours allotted to cleaning were spent in shopping for replacements. Since then I have had more time in between guests and a chance to spend a couple of days on the deep cleaning that was needed. My condo is island style so it has bamboo, rattan, and tropical fabrics and to some that may appear dated while others find it consistent with their idea of Hawaii. The bedroom furniture, for example, is rattan but only three years old. Recent updates include: 1) new firm king bed (2015), 2) sofa re-upholstering (2015), 3) new lanai slider windows (2015), 4) new AC (2015), 5) new carpeting throughout (2016 and 2017), 6) new printer for guest computer (2016), 7) new lanai furniture (2015), and 7) new refrigerator (2017). Upcoming updates (August 2018) include new counter tops, new dishwasher, and cabinet refinishing. My goal is to offer an attractive and affordable tropical condo experience for my guests.

Thank you, Vinh, for your review. I am glad you and your friends had a great time on Maui. I am looking forward to your future visits.
