The kids could walk to the pool on their own for a quick evening swim. The weather was beautiful our entire holiday. Very hot. We took surf lessons (Royal Hawaiian) a submarine tour (Atlantis Submarine) and drove The Road to Hana. Snorkeling at Honolulu Bay was great. Lots to see. Parasailing and lovely shops to snoop around in at Lahaina. Thank you for your outstanding accommodations. We will definitely return back SOON!! P.S. Fred’s Mexican Café had good food and huge portions. Fun atmosphere and casual.

Dear Chris & Rose,  Your condo is really nicely decorated and was very comfortable, nicely located in the complex for getting to the beach and the pool, great privacy on the lanai, and very nicely priced.  The price helped us to enjoy a snorkeling trip to Molokini and some surfing lessons as well. We'd stay again at your place anytime. Thanks again! Tim and Sue Falk, WA. Oct. 11-19, 2007 Oct. 2-9, 2007 Rose & Chris We are so happy to have found your condo on the internet.

Thanks, Melissa & Brennan Lefley Milton, Ontario Canada Crystal Rose Properties, The cell phone reception in Kihei is so good we didn't have a need for it.   But thanks for getting it set up anyway. Just wanted to thank you for the use of the lovely condo. It certainly made things really comfortable to have a condo for two weeks vs a hotel type of living arrangement.   It was stocked with everything you needed.   Living here in Vermont with the cool and buggy evenings, we don't get the opportunity to sit outside to eat breakfast or dinner.......that was really lovely.  Jeff Burger -  Burlington, VT.    September 15-29, 2007 Chris & Rose, Thank you so much for the use of this lovely condo!  We would love to come again and stay in your place.
