"... extremely happy with the room and it's location on the beach."
Hi Jim ~~ Just wanted to send off a message advising how much we enjoyed your condo! (#520) My husband and I were extremely happy with the room and it's location on the beach. It had everything we needed. We were so happy to find how close we really were to Front Street and all its amenities. We saw so much of Maui while we were there. We thoroughly enjoyed our 25th anniversary holiday in Hawaii and your condo (hot tub, pool and all) will be remembered very fondly. Thank you once again.
All the best, Carolyne and Tim ~~ Brampton, Ontario (11/5/08)

"Feel free to post this on your website ..."
Jim ~~ It's taken me a bit to get this email out to you. I have been super slammed with a new ABC show since I came back from Maui. I wanted to thank you so much for the GREAT experience we had staying at your condo (#624) in Maui. After an excruciating trip to Maui, all we wanted to do was lay our heads down on a nice clean bed. Our check-in at Lahaina Shores went extremely smooth. Everyone was very helpful and efficient.
We walked into your condo and I must say that not only was it tastefully decorated, but refreshingly very clean as well. Just what we needed after a long day of travel. We had a great time staying here and thank you so much Jim for being so helpful with everything. We will definitely be coming back the next chance I get to escape to Maui! Feel free to post this on your website for your review. Thanks so much again Jim!

"You have a beautiful place there."
Hi Jim ~~ What a great job you did on the studio at Lahaina Shores #624. Loved your pictures. We enjoyed looking at the Mt's. on the deck and from the room. The colors on the mountains were always changing. The sun shining and the clouds on the mountains were beautiful. I took a ton of photos. When I get them on the computer I will sent you some.
We saw Warren & Annabelle's Magic show. It was so funny. Hope sometime to be able to get back to Maui and if we do we want to stay at Lahaina Shores room 624. You have a beautiful place there. If you ever get to KY let us know and we can meet and show you around our area. Thanks again. We had a great time.
Take care of yourself, Ella and Jimmy ~~ Louisville, KY (9/20/08)

". . . and lets face it you see the ocean every day on the beach!"
Hi Jim ~~ I realised the other day I never got round to saying thanks for renting your Lahaina condo out to us again and we had a great time. The view from the balcony really is amazing, much better than the ocean view ones - and lets face it you see the ocean every day on the beach!
It was also really nice to be able to walk into Lahaina at night without having to worry about parking, and the fact I went shopping almost everyday we were there it really helped being in walking distance!
Something we would recommend to other visitors was the Feast at Lele, right next door, and great service and food. Hopefully we'll be back again sometime!
Thanks, Claire and Andy ~~ Wokingham, U.K. (11/20/07)

". . . with all kinds of things a person might need at home."
Hi Jim~~ Thank you so much for letting us stay at your studio #624 at Lahaina Shores. We had a good time. The place is light and spaceous (sic), and the balcony is great. It was very thoughtful of you to equip it with all kinds of things a person might need at home. In case we ever go back in the future, to Lahaina, we will look you up.
Take care, Jane ~~ San Jose,CA (7/16/07)

"You are so professional and did not miss anything . . ."
Hi Jim ~~ Thanks for the use of your lovely condo. We loved the location in Lahaina - so convenient to everything we wanted to do, including the Maui Invitational Basketball Tournament.
You were so good to work with! You are so professional and did not miss anything - including great directions. Your attention to detail was excellent. Thanks again for letting us use your beautiful accommodations.

"We really enjoyed the convenience of being so close to town."
Aloha Jim ~~ Bart and I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed staying in your condo at Lahaina Shores. They're doing a beautiful remodel job on the lobby area! We especially loved the restaurant next door at 505, called iO. Fantastic!
The diving was pretty good considering there was that big swell a couple weeks before we were there. Did an early morning (still dark) dive at Black Rock and it was awesome. Anyway, we really enjoyed the convenience of being so close to town and not far from the harbors. Will recommend to friends!

"Compared to your beautiful bed at Lahaina Shores it is pretty awful."
Jim ~~ We just returned from Maui, and I want to thank you for the use of your two condos. Lahaina Shores is an incredible location, within walking distance of everything, yet quiet and right on the beach. And the pool is great. It is easily the best condo for anyone wanting to stay in West Maui.Since we love South Maui, Maui Vista is the ideal location for us, and we really enjoyed our time there, especially with the new appliances and air conditioners. The one downside is the bed at Maui Vista. Compared to your beautiful bed at Lahaina Shores it is pretty awful. I actually slept on the pull-out couch a few times because my back was hurting so much. So, hopefully a new bed or mattress cover is in the budget some time soon. (Replaced with same brand mattress set as Lahaina Shores on 2/14/05. Happy Valentine's Day!)
We'll be back next year, and I'm sure I'll be in touch again soon. Mahalo and Mele Kalikimaka.

"We're thinking we might like to stay for at least 3 weeks."
Hi Jim ~~ I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your Lahaina Shores rental. We really liked it there a lot and are planning to return next year. We're thinking we might like to stay for at least 3 weeks. Is that possible and how long ahead of time would we need to book?? And thanks for the Hali'imaile General Store tip--it was FABULOUS!!!

"The bed was great and so was the central air conditioning."
Hi Jim ~~ We arrived home Thursday a little jet-lagged, sun burnt, and recuperating from an absolutely wonderful vacation. Thank you so much for the use of your fantastic condo. It was perfect. The location was great, the pool wonderful, and so close to the ocean, which was totally unexpected judging from the pictures. The condo is certainly well-equipped with all the necessary utensils/amenities. The bed was great and so was the central air conditioning. When we return, we'll certainly contact you for another wonderful stay.

". . . it was our first time . . ."
Hi Jim ~~ I wanted to thank you for letting us rent your lovely condo in Lahaina. We had a wonderful time!! Everyone is so nice and happy in Hawaii. In case you were wondering, it was our first time to your beautiful state and we had so much fun!!! If you ever need a reference, we would be glad to talk to anyone about your great location condo.

"...we will contact you as soon as we schedule our next trip."
Jim ~~ Thank you so much for the use of your condo. Jason and I found everything we could need while we were there! We have passed your information along to some friends that are considering a trip to the island. It might be a while until we come back, but I am certain that we will contact you as soon as we schedule our next trip. Thank you again, the condo was absolutely wonderful!

"I am recommending it to everyone I know."
Jim ~~ My new wife and I would like to Thank you for our wonderful accommodations, at Lahaina Shores #520. Our 8 night stay was the best, and I mean the BEST, night away from home I have ever had. It was perfect and I am recommending it to everyone I know. Hopefully, I can throw some more business your way through my family and friends here because I would love for them to experience that wonderful island peace. The view from the room was spectacular and the picture from your site just doesn't do it justice. We took so many pictures, just off the balcony. Anyway, we just wanted to let you know how much we loved it and hope to do business with you again one day.
Sincerely, Scott & Tamara ~ Houston, TX (7/11/03)

"Your mountain view is spectacular . . ."
This is just a thank you for our recent stay. Your condo is lovely, and you have furnished it with just about every possible amenity that we use, such as VCR, blender, iron, 77-channel cable TV, etc. Your mountain view is spectacular and the quality of the property (super-fast elevators, well maintained and beautiful grounds, great laundry room, activity desk always open, friendly staff, etc) make Lahaina Shores a great choice. An easy 7 minute walk and you are downtown, and you have no parking hassles in order to enjoy Lahaina.
We have been to many places and yours is one of the best. We look forward to staying again next year, perhaps for a longer time.

"We haven't left yet and still can't wait to come back."
Jim ~~ We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lahaina Shores. We haven't left yet and still can't wait to come back. I will pass along your info to anyone interested in visiting Maui. We will be in touch when we start making plans for our next visit. Thanks for everything.

"It's one of the best equipped condos ..."
Dear Jim ~ We had a wonderful time in Maui. The studio-apt. was very well furnished. It's one of the best equipped condos we have stayed at on our travels. The receptionists at the desk were very helpful. I liked that we could walk into town too. Someday we will return to paradise.

Dear Mr. Egan, ~~ Aloha! How's going? ~~ We really appreciate that you lend us your "Lahaina Shore" room. It was so nice and comfortable that we really enjoyed our Maui life. We hope that we'll stay that room again when we visit to Maui. ~~ Sincerely yours.

"... the full kitchen was very worthwhile."
Jim ~~ Thank You for your hospitality, the Lahaina Shores is a Great location and the full kitchen was very worthwhile. We snorkeled almost every day in front of the Hotel & I believe that the coral and fish here are as good as anywhere on the island (and it's nice for beginners that it is only waist deep) ~~ the artwork is wonderful we plan on ordering a print when back in Tempe with the checkbook handy..

"... the fridge is not keeping things very cold and makes a funny (loud) noise."
Jim ~~ Thank you for the use of the condo. We had a fantastic time. The location was so convenient and I loved being right on the beach. I'll recommend your place to any friends looking for an economical place to stay, it was just great. I'm not sure how often you go over there, so I wanted to let you know that the fridge is not keeping things very cold and it makes a funny (loud) noise sometimes. (Since replaced with a Maytag!)

"Thank you for all of your help and information."
Hi Jim ~~ I just wanted to let you know that we have received our receipt along with the other information you have provided us with (thank you). Everything sounds absolutely wonderful and we are extremely excited about coming to Hawaii. We are still keeping busy with wedding planning and are less than a month out. Every time something stressful comes up, it is the visions of our honeymoon that keep us pressing on. Thank you for all of your help and information -- it has been a pleasure doing business with you (and extremely easy due to internet).
Thank You Again, Jeanette and Jon (7/27/01)

"If we hold hands and pull together, we will be strong and prevail."
Dear Jim, ~~ Jeff and I are belatedly writing to thank you for letting us stay that additional Thursday night at the Lahaina Shores. We did manage to fly back on Friday. I hope that the Japanese couple that were due in on Friday made it, so that your bookings remained intact. I fear that this dreadful and frightening event is going to damage and bring grief to the people of our nation and those of our allies, both in physical and economic terms, but if we hold hands and pull together, we will be strong and prevail.
Thank you for your kindness, Lynn and Jeff (re: 9/11/01)

Ahhhhhh! Great place Lahaina Shores!
Hi, ~~ I was actually looking for orchid ornaments and got to this page! We have stayed at Lahaina Shores once -- we seem to get to Hawaii once in ten years, or more. Last visit was with my Mom and she always stays at the Lahaina Shores Resort. It is close to Lahaina -- within walking distance (we enjoyed a parade last time we were there -- in about 1995), right next to that interesting little shop area, on the beach, close to luau's, good place to stay so you can head out to other destinations on Maui. We had a WONDERFUL time! Last time with my Mom was great--enjoyed taking photos of the lovely hibiscus there at the place and also took the Lavengra sailing vessel to Molokini Island ~ wow, that was a super trip and we have such great memories and photos! Our daughter was just starting high school then and it was her first trip to Hawaii. We sure had a wonderful time there! ~~ My Mom is 87 now and isn't too sure she could make another trip over (she has had hip surgery on both hips and still has a lot of trouble with pain in the right leg that the doctors say to "just live with". But, we talk about Lahaina Shores all the time! As in: "Boy, wouldn't it be nice to stay at the Lahaina Shores again!" ~~ Just had to write to express my appreciation for the wonderful time we had at the Lahaina Shores Resort! It is a place we will always stay when on Maui. I will run off a print of your ad and give it to my Mom -- she will love having it!

"... modest accommodations with kitchen facilities."
Hi Jim ~~ We just got back from our honeymoon in Maui yesterday. The weather was a bit of a surprise, but all in all, we had a great trip. Just wanted to drop a note letting you know that we loved both your places we stayed. They were exactly what we had in mind (modest accommodations with kitchen facilities). We especially liked the location of and view from the Lahaina Shores complex. Next time we come to Maui, we'll certainly look you up again!!

" ... might consider selling your place?"
I had a great time in Hawaii and enjoyed staying in your unit. Just a thought, but I was wondering if you might consider selling your place? I liked its location to down town and would not need much more than this size unit for my own use. Hope all else is well and I will stay in touch for my next trip that way.
