Aloha Red and Jami, Joey and Travis,
Our stay at Red's house was wonderful ---- if only we had more time. It would have been nice to have stayed longer and been able to use that beautiful shower on the main floor and to listen to that beautiful fountain in the evening. Otherwise, it was perfect. Yes, Jami, you can send the security deposit via check to us.
A Big Mahalo to all,

Hi Jami
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The house was truly a home away from home and we couldn't have asked for more. Joey and Travis were wonderful, with a special thanks to Travis for letting us borrow his speakers for our iPod, that made all the difference for us. That is the only thing I could think of as a potential improvement; updating the stereo with a model that includes an aux input - but Travis took care of us in that department.

The view was absolutely stunning and the house was close to our favorite beaches. Secret beach was definitely the highlight, and I loved heading home at sunset to enjoy the house and night swims. The kitchen was well equipped and we had dinner on the Lanai every night of our trip thanks to the awesome grill. I am already missing the mangos like crazy!

A friend of ours who lives in Maui had suggested some beach-front resorts in Kihei, but was blown away by the house when she stopped by for a visit at Red's and confirmed that we had made the right choice. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer - 5 nights was not enough!

A huge thank you from our crew of friends, we had the most wonderful time. We look forward to returning and staying at Red's Maui House again!
Take care,

Hi Jami
I meant to drop you a note as soon as we arrived back home. Here are a couple of the pictures from my daughter's wedding. One is with her new husband, and one with her little sister. The wedding was so beautiful.

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your island home. There wasn't anything that could have made our trip more perfect. The house is ideal for a family vacation and is equipped with all the things you would ever need (or forget) on your trip. There was even a sewing kit in the kitchen for a little emergency mending on a swimsuit.

The time our family spent together at the house was priceless. Our son Daniel received a few days leave from the Army and was able to join us for his sister's wedding. I think the kids were in the pool more than the beach!

Travis was there when we needed him and stopped by every now and then to make sure everything was ok or offer helpful information on the island. He also brought us fresh mangos from the tree outside the kitchen window. What a treat!

I must say the pictures of the house online don't do it justice and nothing can prepare you for the unique sounds of island birds in the morning. The cows mooing in the hills nearby made us feel like we were at home. The view of the ocean and surrounding countryside were spectacular. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else should we travel to Maui again.
Thank you!

Hi, Red and Jami
It was wonderful to stay in your house for our vacation. Our family was very happy to stay there and is already missing your house. Thank you so much for giving us good chances to spend the enjoyable time in Maui. Thank you so much!!!! Hope to see you again....
Best,

Red and Jami,
Everything was wonderful there. We really liked eating outside and enjoying the view & breeze. The accomodations were just as we envisioned, and everyone was very comfortable. Travis and Joey were great - they gave us alot of good information and loaned us an ice chest for the beach. We even ran into a small water leak and Travis got on it right away. The only thing that I wanted to mention (in case Travis didn't already take care of it) is that the latch on the murphy bed came off (the bolt was stripped or too short) - we tucked the sheets in when we folded it up so it wouldn't fall down.

Hi Jami
Thanks very much for writing. We had a fantastic stay at the house with perfect weather...no complaints!!! Travis and Joey were helpful with some good tips on where to go and what to do. If we ever get the opportunity to return to Maui, we will certainly contact you again. Thanks for making our very special holiday even more special.
Best regards,

Jami,
Sorry I didn't get back to you until today. I had to go to Chicago to baby sit my granddaughter. The house was wonderful and met all our needs. Joey and Travis were wonderful. We hardly knew they were there but if we needed them, they were right there with help. We loved the pool and the outside shower was great! It was great to have soap provided and toilet paper (there was enough for the whole week) and paper towels. Those little things were wonderful because buying groceries over there was expensive for all 7 of us. Thanks again! Our only recommendation is for a larger air conditioner on the main floor of the house.

Aloha Jami,
We are back home in Tulsa and still trying to re-adjust to the real world.
Our stay at Reds Maui House was spectacular. We loved the sense of outdoor living the house provides. The view from the lanai, the pool and hot tub and, somewhat surprisingly, the outdoor shower were all a huge hit.
Joey and Travis were great: very friendly and helpful when needed but stealthy when privacy was desired. By the way you were right that the stereo did not have any kind of auxiliary input to allow playing an Ipod/MP3 through the system’s speakers.
I assume that the $300 security deposit will just be refunded to my Mastercard account shortly. We will definitely recommend Reds to all who come to us requesting our "Maui picks".

We already miss being in Maui.

Mahalo,

Hi Jami
Our stay was most enjoyable!!! We will definitely stay again when we come out next time. There were a couple of things that could have made the stay a bet more enjoyable: An outdoor fan with lighting over the table on the lanai and a better placed TV in the Queen bedroom. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!! Thank you very much for renting out such a great house!

Hi Red and Jami,
We absolutely loved your home and will be back again in the future without a doubt! It was great to have it stocked with everything we needed for the beach, the shower outside at the house was fabulous, as were the pool and hot tub! We truly had a relaxing vacation but still having some of the amenities of home. I did manage to get the internet to work, so it would another great bonus!

We also appreciated the wonderful assistance of both Travis and Joey. They were there when we needed them, but kept to themselves and allowed us to have the vacation we wanted in privacy. It is a very well run and maintained property, so please keep up the good work. We even managed to get another boogie board from someone on the beach giving theirs away, so now you have two at the house!

Thank you again and hope to be speaking again to you about our next vacation to Maui!

Cheers,

PS. Please pass on our sincere thank you to Travis and Joey for helping make our vacation so great!

Dear Red and Monika
Thank you sooo much for the Hawaiian hospitality. Your place here in Maui is just Heavenly. We really appreciated all your advice while here on the island. You both had a lot of history and talent to share which made our stay even better. Hope to come back real soon, we all love it here.

Hi Jami,
I am so glad that I found your site on the internet, Red's Maui House was such a wonderful "home away from home." Our family used the lanai for many family dinners, everyone loved it, I am so glad that I have been able to do this vacation for my family, it is one that we won't forget. Putting all of the accidents, bumps and bruises, 2 cases of strep throat and surfing injuries aside, we all had a blast!! My boys are thinking about coming back again, next time without the kids, so that they can have an adult experience. Red and Monika are wonderful hosts, we had some great conversations and a few good laughs with them, even sang a few songs! My husband and I went to Molokai, it is not the place for us, we enjoyed the quaint atmosphere but we left early and went to Oahu for the next 2 days, we were curious about the island and are glad we went but I think that 2 or 3 days are all you need when planning a trip to Molokai!

Hello Red and Jami
Our stay at your house was just marvelous and perfect, we enjoyed it very much!
For the security deposit refund I will call you for the $300 by paypal, I think this is the easiest way.
Already looking forward to a next stay on Maui, I send you my best regards,

Dear Red and Jami
Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful home, we had a wonderful time. The view was absolutely spectacular, giving us many great sunsets from the patio. We all loved your place and hope to be able to rent it in the future. Mahalo and all the best in the New Year.

Dear "Red's Maui House"
Our stay was with our son & daughter in law who made the arrangements. Red's web site gives you accurate information about this beautiful spot. The location is ideal. The property is very well maintained and much thought has gone into providing guests a comfortable stay. There are many nice amenities. We traveled Maui much of the time we were there but it was always nice to come home to this wonderful place! As you can see by the booking schedule, this is a popular place to stay. If we come back to Maui in the future we certainly hope Red's is available.

Red and Jami-
Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your Maui House. What a beautiful home and view!! Does it get any better? Plenty of room for us to camp out for the week. The pool and hot tub were a nice addition and were great to relax the sore muscles. Air conditioning throughout, onsite laundry, flat screen TV, and outdoor grill were bonuses. I doubt you can get any of those amenities at a rented condo...
Thanks again. My family truly enjoyed your place! Sorry we don't have any suggestions as you have taken care of everything.

Hi Jami,
We had an awesome time at Red's house and really enjoyed our stay. We loved the house, the view, the pool and Michael was very friendly and helpful. It felt very comfortable and we loved eating outside at night on the outdoor lanai. The pool and Jacuzzi were great and we enjoyed having the home away from home feel.

Thanks again for a great experience, we would certainly visit Red's House again!

Hi Jami and Red,
Everything was amazing!! The views, the house, the fresh mangos, all were fantastic. Can't wait to go back. You guys have a very nice house. Michael was very helpful.
You can send just one check to us and we'll split it. Thank you so much for everything.

Dear Red and Jami,
We enjoyed our stay on Maui. The house was in a perfect location, close to great beaches and shopping. It was plenty big enough for us. It was a special time for us on Maui; our son and his girfriend stayed with us, he deployed to Iraq a few days after returning home. Our 4 year old twins loved the pool and actualy learned to snorkel in it before we took them out into the ocean. They were in it everyday after the beach.
Michael kept the pool and the grounds super clean. He is such a huge bonus to the house. The girls still talk about him and blowing the conche shell at sunset. He is such a nice guy; we couldn't have asked for a better person to be living in the ohana.
Thank you Jami for making the whole process of renting the house so easy, being so available to answer questions and the quick refund of our deposit.
All in all, it was a great vacation.
Thank you,

The Sweeney Family

Jami,
Thank you refunding the security deposit so quickly. We enjoyed our stay in Maui and were sorry to see it come to an end. We stayed very busy touring the island and enjoying the beach time. Overall, we enjoyed the time at the house. It provided us with plenty of room especially with 3 teenagers. The DSL and paper product issues were only minor inconveniences. Hopefully, Michael was not too disappointed that we did not use the pool or the Jacuzzi. We have both at home and the allure of the beach was too strong, especially for the kids.

Hi Jami and Red,
The dinner we had at the home was perfect for our small group the night before the wedding. The three young boys who were bored with us adults swam in the pool and Michael blew the conch shell in honor of the bride and groom. We had a great sunset and dinner on the lanai. Thanks for your approval and for wonderful Michael !

Hi Jami,
Sadly, our vacation is over. We had an amazing, fantastic, beautiful week in Maui at Red's house. The location was ideal. The house was perfectly suited for our family reunion and the pool and hot tub was an incredible bonus. Michael was a great host, very helpful and quite interesting to talk too. The view from the lanai is inspiring! We will all remember it for the rest of our lives.
Really, we liked everything! We shopped at the local Safeway - quite a fancy grocery store! - and cooked almost all our meals in the lovely kitchen. And all 9 of us ate on the lanai for dinner. My husband grilled some great meals - we had all the tools and utensils we needed. We really appreciated the boogie boards, cooler, beach chairs and beach umbrella. Used that alot. We didn't need the air conditioning all that much. Not during the day, just sleeping at night for some. The boys played the xbox Star Wars game and that was plenty of game time. The plumeria tree was in bloom - great background for this year's Christmas Card. I could talk for hours about our week. It was that fabulous.
Jami, I also want to thank you for how nice and easy it was to work with you. You made the rental so easy and you were always available for questions.
Mahalo - we hope to be back!

Hi Jami,
We had such a wonderful stay at the Reds Maui House. Thank you so much! It was so awesome to be right across the street from my Sister's place. The views were awesome, the pool and hottub were great especially for the boys, the beds were very comfortable, the boogie boards and towels were great to have, and the location was wonderful.
We will definitely recommend this place to people we know and hopefully we can stay there again! Michael is a very nice man and we enjoyed visiting with him.
Thanks and take care!

Dear Jami,
I'm proud to tell you that our visit to Maui was great and was full of wonderful memories. Red's House was beautiful and just perfect for us and was only 1.6 miles away from the Maui Prince Hotel where my son's wedding was celebrated. We thank you for all the conveniences Red's House has offered.
Once again......, MAHALO !

Armando G. Pablo

Hi Jami,
We had a fantastic time on Maui. Thanks so much for being understanding with regard to the extra people. They were so last minute and it did not even cross my mind to let you know since the web site that we first found you at stated the house accommodated ten people. We really appreciated how much thought and care Red has put in the home there and we could tell how much he loves it.
As I told Red it felt like we were in a tree house; so peaceful and beautiful. The pool and jacuzzi were an added plus. Tell Red we will definitely recommend it to our friends and families and we hope to come there again in the future. The only thing I would recommend is that he think about adding a place where the people sleeping in the Murphy bed could keep their things.
The kids nic-named the gecko (the one without the tail) stumpy; he visited us each night by the side door window. You might also want to add a guest book for people to sign expressing their thoughts on the home and sharing their experiences. Both Michael and Red gave us some good insider tips on what to see in Maui and that advise was a real pleasure.
Mahalo.

Hi Jami,
Thank you so much for the deposit refund. We had a wonderful stay at Red's place and would definitely recommend the property to others. It had everything we needed and we were so glad to have a quiet place to stay, rather than in the busy area of Kihei. The pool was a wonderful bonus! I can't say that there is anything that you could do better. Right from the booking to the checking in and departure, everything was so smooth. You provided so much information right from the start that I barely had any questions.
Thank you for making our vacation so smooth and hassle free. It was a truly fantastic experience! and we hope to book another vacation at Red's house in the future.
Suzanne

Red,
We enjoyed your house and the lanai and remodeled kitchen/bathrooms were the highlights. Michaels was very nice, friendly, and helpful. As you requested, one suggestion would be to replace the linens.
Thanks again,
Rob Patrawala

Hi Red
The house was great both for me and the folks. The lanai was great for my 92 year old folks and they did not want to leave ... Michael was a pleasure and I asked him a thing or two regarding the TV, but all in all it was a perfect place to live for a week.  The wedding was the event I think of the century.  It was so well done and loved by all...a few pics from that are below.
Nick Elardo

Hi Red
     Thanks for your email and the chance to stay at your great place.  The article downstairs about how the house was built was fascinating!  We enjoyed our time at your place very much and pictured coming back with our 3 sons next time (although being alone was delightful).  We appreciated the little extras (hair dryer provided, oil in the cupboard, beach chairs, towels, etc) and your location was close to everything.  The lanai is the best and we spent time just sitting and watching the ocean, which was so relaxing.  There is really nothing significant that is needed to enhance comfort or enjoyment at your Maui house.  Everything is ideal. I'll keep your information nearby and hope we will find ourselves back on Maui and back at Red 's Maui House again soon.

By the way, friends of ours from our home town were also on Maui at the time we were there. They stopped by to pick us up, and when they saw our spacious living arrangements they were quite envious. Then we saw their time share unit in Kananapali and we confirmed secretly that we made the best choice by far. Your home is apeaceful, roomy, modern, place with knockout views - a far cry from a time share.
Mahalo for everything!

Hi Sue & Red,
We just wanted to send you a quick note and let you know how much we enjoyed our vacation last week in Maui, and how perfect your rental home was for our group. We had everything that we needed, and we found our accommodations to be gorgeous.
We also wanted to say how much we appreciated the help of Michael.  He was like having our own personal island information guide. He was very helpful with the planning of our excursions and was very friendly when it came to lending us his cooler and other belongings for our beach trips.  He aided in making our stay so enjoyable.

Thanks again for everything.
Kurt and Jana

Sue & Red,  
We so truly enjoyed our stay at Red's Maui house the last two weeks.  It was truly a home away from home.  The accommodations were wonderful!  So very clean, all the amenities that we needed, an outstanding view and wonderful neighbors.  Michael was so very kind to us and so very informative about the island.  It was wonderful getting information from a local.
Meeting Red and Mike was also a joy. We enjoyed having them for dinner and the stories of the island and his life were enchanting.  We hope to be back in a few years and looking forward to seeing all again!  Sam & Kathy

Thanks for letting me and my family enjoy your beautiful home in Maui. We all had a wonderful time. We are planning another Maui vacation in 2009. I hope you will still have your home available at that time. My wife loved it. If so, I will make sure all future payment arrangements for rental get done via credit card.

Thanks again……
