The Perfect Intergenerational Family Vacation
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009
Date of Stay: April 2009
Patty’s condo is truly more beautiful and comfortable than the outstanding website reveals. Our family of 7 with a rented roll-away in the third bedroom had all the necessary creature comforts for diverse ages as well as the convenience of “space" with the well furnished wrap-around lanais. The occupants of the master bedroom wanted to relocate it and the view to
California, The condo is clean and well- maintained.
Since we ate most of our meals ”at home”, the herb garden enhanced our recipes and saved us the inconvenience and cost of purchasing seasonings. The kitchen was amazingly well equipped. It was so easy to entertain friends. When we did eat out, fresh fish was the major choice!
How special to be so close to the clean, sandy beaches and be able to watch the cardinals, turtles and the sun set each evening from the lanai.
We picked Makena Surf so each member of the family could pursue his/her own priorities : swimming laps in the pool, hiking, snorkeling surfing, building sand castles or tennis. Group activities included a catamaran( Alii Nui) and luau adventure in addition to a visit to a flower farm in Kula. The children ages 6 and 9 voted the snorkeling trip the best adventure: excellent, attractive crew, guided snorkeling with equipment included, and gourmet breakfast and lunch, Take your own snorkeling equipment that you have rented for the week, and get a discount. This trip is a must!
It was a pleasure to book with Patty who takes a personal interest in each family member, immediately replies to questions, and provides excellent directions/ideas for island adventures. I agree that Makena Surf with its favorable location, quiet beauty, outstanding landscaping with fragrant flowers as well as its friendly staff/security is the best place to spend a week on Maui. Yes, I definitely would recommend this property to a friend.
