"Our week here was better than we ever could have imagined. Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay. There rare so many beautiful places on the island, but many times we were just thinking of getting back to our gorgeous house and relaxing. The kitchen is so great- we only went out for dinner twice! It was so wonderful to pick our own fruit and we found the beautiful plants and flowers at the house to be more beautiful and well cared for than some of the gardens we visited elsewhere on Maui. We loved everything, and it was the perfect paradise to spend our honeymoon at. What a blessing to find your amazing home!
Mahalo"
Zac & Kate Hanson


"For the past glorious three weeks our entire family has luxuriated in your ever so beautiful home. We all enjoyed each and every special touch: the spacious and airy floor plan; the expansive vistas and the rolling green lawns; the artistic landscaping; the exquisite furnishings including every state of the art appliance imaginable. The extensive sound system you have installed was such a pleasure too. We often BBQ’d on the deck, in the evenings, and looked for sunsets and rainbows. We even saw a white owl! And the little ones were tickled by the hopping frogs and ghekos. All this fauna, and no insects…so nice! Our stay at Hale Mauka Makai was way more than expected. We will never forget it, and, hope to return someday soon."
Our affection"
Betty Lou Bender and family


"Our stay has exceeded our expectations! All parts of us feel nourished. We loved chasing the kids in the yard while it gently rained. We found ourselves returning repeatedly to Moana Bakery and Café for their fresh organic menu. Watching stars before bedtime- so peaceful! Hospitality calls from Claudia… too many things to list. Thank you for this memorable time!"
Elena, Brett, Sam and Sophie MacDonald


 

"We thank you for allowing us to live in your island paradise. This was an extremely relaxing vacation for us all! We will be back, 2 weeks next time! We will tell only our best friends about this beautiful spot. We don’t want just anyone coming here. We made it down to Jaws!!! Huge surf- one nut case surfing 25-30’ waves! Looked very exciting and dangerous. Thank God for jet skis! Until we see you again
Aloha and Thank you"
Cathy, Stan and Kristin Ploof


"A week at Hale Mauka Makai was as relaxing as 2 weeks at the best Spa Resort in the world! Bob and I never left the north shore and spent as much time here at home as possible. We so enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, as we love to cook when we have the time. Thanks for creating such a remarkable slice of heaven for us to enjoy. We are puddles and we'll be back soon!
Bob and Linda


"What a perfect place! We felt right at home, so comfortable. The views, yard, fruits, pool, grill... everything was just perfect. We love Paia, Anthony's coffee after a run to the beach... Jacques for dinner, we really enjoyed the town too. Hikes, waterfalls, beaches, windsurfing, it all comes together so well. Thank you for a wonderful week!"
Doug & Diane


"Wake up, pick Papaya, eat, repeat.
GREAT TIME!"

"Our family came to celebrate Mom's 60th birthday. We wanted something that would be memorable and we got it!!!!!! We enjoyed our time together in this beautiful place.
Thank you!"

Gordon, Gaynor, Karine, Kiara, Steve, Kadyn


"Great home, great place, great island! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves to the max. We are hooked and plan to repeat. You have done a fantastic job accommodating your home. Everything one could ask for is here. I want to personally thank you two for getting me back in the water. I love Hookipa! What a fun break. This trip has kick-started my surfing, even my 8 year old daughter went out with me on the westside and stood up! We got it on Video!!!
Thanks for your hospitality!"

Jim, Stephanie, Jackson, Olivia, Taylor


"I love your house so much! If I had enough money I would buy this house. My three favorite things are the kitchen, the view and my room (the one with the big bed and the tiger sheets). The pool is really neat and I can swim by myself in it. When the telephones ring, they ring at different times and they all have different sounds." 
Thank you SO much! 
Roberta, daughter of the Sherif family


"We have been thrilled to be able to spend our vacation in this fabulous home. The experience has been almost indescribable! Within the shortest time, we were completely at home here. Indeed, while on excursions to Lahaina, or Hana, or Haleakala, we would all talk about what we would do when we returned "home". Meaning to this house. The amenities, such as the sound system, the Jacuzzi and others, have helped make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for the care and effort you put in to making this place the "LUXURY CAPITAL OF MAUI".
Randy, Micki, Parker & Briana Downey


"Thank you so much for a most enjoyable vacation.
Upcountry was everything we hoped it would be!
The house was more beautiful than pictures can describe.
We felt very comfortable and at home after meeting the both of you. Thank you so much- we can't believe we fly home tomorrow."
John, Greg, Ed & Stephanie


"Thank you for sharing your home, for sharing this experience. We could not have been happier, more relaxed. You have put so much love and caring into this home- and while we took a little of that- we have also left a little piece of our hearts with you!! We can not wait to visit again!"
Renee & Charlie Ryan


"Your house was a blessing!
We had a wonderful time!
Thank you for this lovely week in Paradise."
Eve, Marc, Aubrey, Logan & Kevin


"Every now and then we all find peace and happiness. Trying to find it, however, is not so easy sometimes. Hale Mauka Makai is a sure bet!
Your home is both beautiful in location and beautiful in design. It is decorated to perfection for the ultimate in the Maui experience. You can bet we will take this gem back to our friends and family! It was also wonderful to meet you both; you are true "Aloha" hosts."
Mahalo! Chris, Mary & Aiden

Thanks sooo much...
For the hospitality, the fun, the pool...everything!
You two are great!"

"Thank you for creating this sanctuary and sharing it with us. Our sons agreed this was the best vacation place. The noise they made out at the pool could attest to that! We found ourselves referring to this as home and truly felt like we'd come home when returning from our many excursions. You've done such lovely things with this home, a true inspiration!"
Suzanne, Randy, Andy & Mike


"Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.
We'll have unforgettable memories for our first trip to Hawaii. What a view, ocean on one side, mountains on the other. It will be hard to go back home to cold weather in Illinois."
