I enjoyed my stay at the condo. Everything was so clean and very much like home. The view of the beach was so beautiful. Everyone was so friendly. I will definitely be back.

We enjoyed everything about our stay, the place was very inviting, and Patty was a wonderful host. There’s nothing better than enjoying a cup of coffee on the lanai while watching the morning surfers. With the beach park across the street, food truck park and gardens around the corner, grocery store and restaurants nearby, not to mention several beaches down the street, this is a perfect location for a relaxing vacation.

This condo exceeded our expectations. It was perfect for our family of 4. We loved waking up early and watching the surfers and paddle boards from the lanai. We enjoyed the ocean breezes that kept the condo cool and comfortable. (There is air conditioning but we found the open air breezes to be more enjoyable). The location was ideal. We walked to restaurants and the beach even though they are a short few minute drive. We absolutely loved going to South Maui Gardens right behind us in the evening for entertainment and food trucks. The host Patty was responsive and super accommodating! We could not recommend this condo enough!

Great location and very well equipped! We didn’t need anything for our stay. Everything was clean and centrally located to everything we wanted to explore on the island. The view is spectacular!!! Patty was wonderful to communicate with also:-) thanks for the wonderful week and 1/2!! Mahalo

The place was really nice!
You can walk to a bunch of beaches straight out of the door and there's a great food truck area right behind the building. Definitely recommend it!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this VRBO listing! From the moment we arrived, we were thrilled with the comfortable and well-appointed accommodations. The location is unbeatable, offering easy access to surfing and snorkeling—a real treat for anyone looking to dive into the natural beauty of the area.
The nearby aquatic center was a big hit with the kids, and having Foodland close by meant we could grab poke whenever the craving struck—definitely a highlight! Lunches were a delight with delicious fish tacos at local eateries, and dinners out with my wife added a lovely touch of romance to our vacation. The fully equipped kitchen was also a pleasure to use on the nights we chose to stay in and cook, making our dining experiences versatile and enjoyable.
Additionally, the park across the street was perfect for playing with the kids and letting them run around to their hearts' content. This spot truly felt like a home away from home, offering both fun-filled activities and the chance to relax and unwind.
For families looking for a memorable and enjoyable getaway, this place has it all. We couldn't have asked for a better week and highly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay here. Thank you for such a great vacation experience!

We keep returning to this immaculate condo. The size is perfect for our family of four. View is second to none. Beds are very comfortable, and you never have to worry about ghost ants or bugs as the place is so well maintained. Patty is excellent (and so easy) to communicate with. Location is in the heart of Kihei and close to all the amenities you need. The South Maui Gardens is directly behind the building and offers such tranquility and numerous amazing food trucks.

This is an amazing condo, perfect for a Hawaiian vacation!! It is magical waking up and drinking coffee on the patio over looking the ocean, and all the surfers out with the sunrise. It is a great location as well, fairly central, easy to get to wherever you want to go on the island.
Patty the owner is great, she is super responsive, checked in to make sure everything was going well.
I have already sent this to a few of my friends who are looking at going to Maui this year, so I obviously HIGHLY recommend this property.

We had the most amazing week on Maui while staying at this cutie condo! Everything was clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen, extra beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, boogey board, coolers, ice packs all provided. Excellent view of the ocean from the lanai and the perfect place to people watch at the park below. The "Maui Revealed" (8th edition) book in the condo was SO helpful and made our trip (especially Road to Hana) even more incredible- highly recommend reading through that as you are planning your days! Easy walk to Foodland, many shops and coffee/restaurants. Definitely check out Maui Gardens right behind the condo...so many delicious food trucks (Sweet Hula = best acai/smoothies!). We encountered a lot of homeless people in the area/across the street at the park, but still felt safe to walk around and definitely safe up on the fifth floor. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your condo!!

What I wrote in Patty's guest book:
We had a delightful time at your condo: the view from the lanais; the wonderful human activity across the street at the park; the details in your condo that made us feel like we were staying with friends (vs corporate); your prompt attention to issues; great middle location on the island and close to the airport: all added up for a great stay! My (first) Maui experience will always include 501 Island Surf as part of that experience.

Best view of all the properties we've stayed in Maui. Can't beat sitting on the lanai looking out at the ocean watching the world go by. The condo is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. A short walk to Charlie Young Beach and Kam I where you can snorkel with turtles. Great restaurants and food trucks nearby. Must try Green cafe if you like coffee! Highly recommend this property.

For those with a family, looking to enjoy Maui without staying at a hotel, look no further! We had an absolute blast of a time! It is located in a great beach town. The public beaches are beautiful, perfect wave break with surf schools directly out front for those looking to learn to surf, close by great beach restaurants with music at night, and easy Lyft to cafe olei at the millhouse, east drive to the north side for hikes and waterfalls. Great clean pool in the complex for when the little kids want to jump in for hour to tire themselves out! Not to mention the garden food trucks directly behind island surf. The condo truly has a great view of the sunset and the beach/park right out front. Already booked our week next year!

Wonderful location (but noisy at times because you’re on the main road) but walking distance to lots of places with an amazing view of the ocean. Comes with everything you could possibly need. Only recommend bringing an eye mask for the queen bedroom (could use blackout curtains). But loved every minute of staying here and would stay again!

It was my families first trip to Maui and the condo was wonderful. It was clean, stocked with all kinds of items and the location was great. I loved having the stores and deli on the bottom floor. A few morning were a little noisy, but the view of the ocean made up for it. Would definitely come back!

Great unit for 2 couples or small family, centrally located in South Kihei for shopping, sightseeing and restaurants. Always a parking spot available in the lot and building has elevators! Lots to see from the lanai - surfers, volleyball, ocean views. Unit has all the essentials provided and we hardly had to use the AC as there was a pleasant breeze through the unit much of the time. Thanks Patty!

The place is great! Good location, clean and bright with everything we needed for an extended stay. We treated her home like it was our home and had a great time. Patty had everything to make it feel like home. Patty is a very attentive property manager she was accessible and proactive in ensuring everything we needed was available.. We already booked the same five weeks for next year - I think that says it all.

Patty was so great at communicating throughout the entire process. Her place was beautiful, clean, and had the most amazing view from the lanei. I already want to go back!

I stayed at this property for my honeymoon and it was fantastic. Patty was very communicative, easy to reach, and quick to respond when there was a minor issue after check in. She was able to get it taken care of the following day without any issues.
The condo itself is very nice, the double lanai provided excellent views in the morning and sunset. The beach across the street was great for surfing in the mornings with the surf shop right next door. There were plenty of places for food/drinks within walking distance, and even more within a short car ride away.
I would love to go back and stay here again.

Fantastic OCEAN FRONT view; perfect/convenient location; clean and exceptionally stocked condo; fantastic overall value for prime Kihei rental.
Our family spent 6 nights in Patty's condo and it was fantastic. Clear communication from the minute I booked throughout the stay. We have 2 adult children and I was happy to find this 2bdrm unit each w/large beds and a sofa sleeper, instead of the 2nd bdrm having 2 twin beds. The master king bed is very comfortable; my 6'2" son thought the bed in the 2nd bdrm was also very comfortable. My adult daughter thought the sofa sleeper was fine; nothing special, but she slept just fine.
I appreciated how generously stocked the unit was. Plenty of linens, extra pillows, etc., not to mention, she had paper towels, toilet paper, shower gel/hand soap, dishwashing soap, laundry detergent, spices/other kitchen staples which gave us time to first get unpacked/situated. Was also so nice to have the cooler, beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels as well as some beach toys (if you have little ones which we didn't use) ~ again, consider the convenience of value of all of this! Parking was easy in the back. Didn't have an issues there. Thank goodness for the A/C, as it does get warm! We kept the shades closed in the afternoon, but ooohhhh, the sunsets from that lanai!! We were extremely busy the entire week and honestly, I just wish we would've had more time to just relax and enjoy the beautiful views from the lanai!
The building itself seems a little older, but Patty's condo is updated and is very comfortable. Convenient elevator to the 5th floor! I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to book Patty's condo if you're in limbo. I'm very so very glad we did.
Many MAHALOS, Patty, for a wonderful stay.

This condo was absolutely perfect for our small group trip of 2 couples. Centrally located in Kihei next to some of our favorite restaurants and shops. Also a just short 5 minute walk to the gorgeous Charley Young Beach, where we were daily treated to turtles regularly swimming past us in the water. The views from the lanai are spectacular and we got to enjoy several fantastic sunsets along with a newly regular illuminated bike parade that starts across the street at Kalama Park. While we were there some exterior construction was being done on the property but Patty gave us plenty of notice about what was going on and it did not affect our stay at all. The condo itself is impressively stocked with beach chairs, coolers, dishwater, utensils, towels, extra blankets…pretty much anything you need. Only suggestion I could make is better curtains in the guest room. I am not by nature an early riser and that room brightens up pretty early. Initially was concerned that perhaps being on the road would lead to a lot of noise but honestly, outside of a couple emergency vehicles with sirens once or twice we never heard anything from inside. Highly impressed with this condo and will definitely look to rebook next time we go to Maui.

Our $ was refunded in full by owner, however we found ourselves at a restaurant having to look for accommodations with our suitcases in our car at the last minute. Luckily we did but not in Kihei...in Lahaina. (September 2022) BEWARE

Even though it is an older building it is clean and well maintained. The unit was just as advertised in the pictures. My only complaint is the mattress in the murphy bed in the main bedroom was not very comfortable. But hey who goes to Hawaii to stay in bed. Conveniently located next to a surf shop and Kihei Kitchen. Overall it was a nice place to stay.
Caitlin L.
August 2022
The place was great to stay at! You’re nearby restaurants and botiques, and you’re across from a beach (that’s not safe to swim in). The place had enough room for my family to eat and sleep in. There was a mishap with the padlock door’s battery but the owner was able to get to us via email ASAP. Be aware that there is no front desk so you just self- check in.

We had a wonderful vacation and Patty’s condo was perfect! Everything was very clean, up to date, and well maintained- Very comfortable beds too! The condo was stocked with everything we needed and more. Check-in was easy with clear instructions for every detail and Patty is very easy to reach for any questions. The ocean views off of the lanais are amazing - We enjoyed watching our son surf from the lanai as well as the beautiful evening sunsets. There is some road noise during the day, but it never bothered us at night and being able to walk from the condo to so many great restaurants, fun bars and shopping (Thank you Patty for the great recommendations!) overshadowed any road noise during the day. Patty is a wonderful host and we highly recommend her condo if you are staying in Kihei! Mahalo

We absolutely loved this condo. It had everything we needed and the location was great. Walking distance to restaurants, shop, food trucks and beach. Beautiful views of the sunsets.

Very clean condo in an ideal location if you like a short walk to all services. The host is excellent. Amazing views. Only thing is the street is a bit noisy but we loved the location. New smooth large patio doors absorbs most the street noise. Perfect breeze inside the condo. No need for AC most days. Strongly recommended!

This is our 3rd stay in Kihei and this was by far the best place. The house was extremely clean and organized with every amenity you would need. The location is great and Patty was the most responsive host I've dealt with so far. Thanks again Patty and we'll be back for sure!

The property was excellent. Was clean and comfortable for two adult couples. The lanai has an amazing view of the ocean; definitely great for sunsets and people watching. Had everything we would need for hot/cold cooking, the beach (chairs, coolers, umbrella). Location is definitely one of the best parts; walking distance to several restaurants, grocery store…and yes, a Starbucks. Great path for a morning walk/run super easy access to the Pilani Highway. Lots to say ad would definitely stay here again. One of my top places Ive stayed at Island Surf

This condo is our absolute favorite in Maui. The huge lanai gives you the most amazing view of the sunset and is just perfect for sitting at, having a cocktail, and watching all the people go by. The unit is immaculate and you can tell Patty takes a lot of pride in maintaining the place. Beds were very comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. Location is perfect for groceries and restaurants. I miss it there already and would highly recommend a stay here. Mahalo Patty!

The condo was beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything we needed. All switches were labeled which made use of the condo straight forward. The view from the condo of the sunset was spectacular. Location in Maui was central - easy drive to all the day trips we wished to do. Also walking distance around Kihei to the beach/park, restaurants and grocery store. We would stay at this property again in a heartbeat.

The description matched the place perfectly, which is super appreciated. I stayed with my wife and dad and we always had something to do close by and easily grab food. Really easy to get to much of the island for activities and hikes. The road out front is louder during the day, but by the time we got back to the property and settled in for the night it quieted way way down and I personally couldn't hear it at night. Thanks for the lovely stay!

This is everything we expected. The condo was clean, comfy but spacious and worked out well for us because we stayed there with our two small kids ( 6 and toddler). We loved the location and so close to a vibrant night life in Kihei. Patty was also super responsive and easy to communicate with.

Great location in Kihei. Plenty of good casual food within walking distance, also a Starbucks and a supermarket, yay. View is fantastic, even a little better than the pictures in the listing, the lanai is really nice/large/wide. Unit is well kept-up had plenty of room for the three of us, and had every amenity of a real home, include some kitchen staples in the cupboard. The lanai is right above a busy road, so don't expect to enjoy ocean sounds while enjoying the view. Really a great place, exceeded high expectations.

We had just had a terrible VRBO rental in Ca and we’re worried about this one but we had no reason to worry . This condo was spotless and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and same with the bathrooms . The view was beautiful!!! The location was convenient to the beach and park and stores and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again if we travel to Kihei again.

I’ll get straight to it- The condo is over the top clean and has just about everything you’ll need for your trip. The beds were very comfortable and we felt very safe in the condo. The place looks EXACTLY like the pictures on VRBO. Great location and Patty, the owner, was very nice and responsive. My mom and I have already said that we’re staying there again when we go back. Stop searching for other properties and just book this condo! You will not be disappointed.

Such a lovely place! Extremely clean, beautiful decor, and what an experience to wake up next to the ocean! The padlock also worked perfectly to get in and out of the apartment - such a great system!! The only part that I didn't like was that there were a fair bit of rules to be aware of, but they were totally fine and reasonable (e.g., having to wash and dry our towels before check out at 10am forced us to skip the beach in the morning since we couldn't shower in time and have enough time for the towels, but that's a small inconvenience to stay in luxury). Patty is also SO lovely and was such a great communicator -
I was so happy to stay in her lovely condo. Would definitely stay again - can't say enough great things about it.
Patti P.
September 2017
Absolutely beautiful tastefully decorated condo! Such a great location close to the beach, shopping, restaurants, grocery stores etc. Very clean and organized. There is a double lanai so it is very comfortable to sit outside and enjoy the breath taking sunsets. We had a rental car to visit other beaches, shopping and to do a tour but everything you need for a great vacation is within walking distance. We found the condo to be very quiet when the doors were closed, and it was easy to keep the condo comfortable with the air conditioning as it was quite hot when we were there. I would definitely recommend this condo and give it a 10/10 for sure!!
Amanda V.

This property has an amazing view...with windows stretching across the living room/ dining area into the master bedroom. It's nice to be in the common area looking out at the water or laying in bed and still have a great view.
The location is very convenient. There is a beach across the road and it's walking distance to many restaurants and markets. Parking spot also available for your rental car.
We found this condo well stocked - had everything we could need in a kitchen. We were very happy to use the beach towels, tommy Bahama beach chairs and coolers for our trips to the beach. The condo is also equipped with Air Conditioning - which is a huge bonus!

wonderful to walk into a place and instantly know you've picked a winner! that is how we felt from the moment we entered Island Surf 501; we could not be more pleased with our accommodations, the condo is perfect.
we LOVE your decor, the place is beautifully appointed with comfortable furniture (we loved the use of wood and your bamboo flooring). since the condo is so spacious, there is plenty of room to move around. we ate most meals at home simply because it was so easy (the kitchen is well equipped) and we enjoyed the option of dining on the lanai --staring at the ocean-- or in the dining room -- staring at the ocean. we felt so relaxed and 100% at home that some days we simply did not want to leave the condo: everything we needed was right there.
with all the comforts of home, PLUS the killer ocean view, it was easy to leisurely do our "chores" --place a few dishes in the dishwasher, a few towels in the washing machine-- to keep our retreat neat and tidy. watching sunsets ON the ocean --from your huge lanais (off the living room and bedroom, both with nice, comfortable chairs)-- was so peaceful... on a few occasions, we even saw the "green flash" when the sun disappeared, dipping below the horizon.
i have to mention the decorative, sliding bamboo shades for the lanais. they are to die for, i want them, and plan to find them for our places here on kaua'i. great being shielded from the outside while seeing the breathtaking view beyond.
when we forced ourselves to leave the condo, we enjoyed walks through the park, and your proximity to so many interesting shops and restaurants. we prefer your kihei location over ka'anapali (where we used to stay).
thank you for such a safe, pleasant, restful environment. the condo was spotless; we both slept comfortably (i am a light sleeper); and we had beautiful surroundings inside and out. what more can you ask for?
one aside: we treated ourselves to mama's fish house. pricey, no question, but we still believe restaurants of that caliber are VERY few and far between -- in the state of hawai'i OR elsewhere. we had not been there in many years so were pleased to discover the restaurant is still a treasure.
again, mahalo nui for sharing your home with us, Patty. we enjoyed everything about our visit and won't stay away from mau'i for very long. knowing we can count on such a comfortable place to get away to gives us the perfect reason to return really soon. we both loved it! aloha, --d&G

This two bedroom two bathroom condo really feels like home. It is air conditioned and has an amazing view of the ocean. The beds are very comfortable and the lanai is large. It includes everything you need and is conveniently situated close to shopping and fun without being in the heart of touristy resorts. Kalama Park, right across the street, is a great place for a morning or evening run or walk. It is very peaceful and relaxing. The owner is personable and helpful. I will definitely try to stay here again when I come back to this beautiful island.

Spacious, nicely appointed and clean condo with great ocean and sunset views through the palm trees. Patty, the owner is really helpful and professional. The local managers were also quick to help. Kitchen was well supplied. Good selection of shops, eateries and bars nearby and Kihei Cove is the main learner surf spot on Maui and works in the summer, usually with small, mellow but fun waves. With the surf schools all operating there it's VERY crowded but still friendly and waves for everyone. We saw turtles every time we went out. We got a good deal on week-rental from the Surf Shack in the bottom of the building. I was concerned it would be horrible crossing the busy road to get to the beach but the drivers are generally really considerate on the Ped Xings. The parking was very convenient too. Things to be aware of, in Trade Wind season the North-Easter hammers past the building affecting the pool and BBQ area but we still had quick swims in the evenings. There is no-where (yet) to store surfboards if you bring your own and you wouldn't want to leave them in or on your car. Thanks Patty for making your condo available.

This was a GREAT location and condo! The unit is had everything we needed. The view and sunsets from the lanai were absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend this unit. When we return we would love to rent from Patty again!!
December 2014
Very spacious, well equipped and nicely updated condo with wall to wall windows and glass doors that allow a fulltime 5th floor view of the ocean and swaying palm trees. We really enjoyed relaxing on the large balcony while taking in the amazing sunsets. The kitchen has everything needed, is spacious and we enjoyed that same amazing view while preparing our meals.
Almost anything we needed was within walking distance including shopping, entertainment and of course, beaches for swimming or surfing. The outdoor pool was a great way to start and end our day! Plenty of parking space for our rental car behind the building. After 16 days we were totally relaxed and look forward to returning next year!

This was our first trip to Maui and we had a wonderful time. The location of the condo was perfectly situated in town and we had everything we needed at our fingertips. There are some wonderful restaurants close by, great little shops to browse in and a multitude of amazing little beach escapes to enjoy. We kicked back a number of times and enjoyed the sunset from the room and we also opted to stroll across the road and sit on the beach to drink in the amazing colours. We made many delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen. All of the pots, pans, dishes glasses etc were in great condition. Even the kitchen knives were sharp – which has always been a pet peeve of mine.
The bed was very comfortable and the condo itself was spacious and airy. It was just like it looks in the photos and all the “little things” were thought of for us so we didn’t want for anything. The property was clean and well-groomed the building manager and the residents we met were extremely pleasant and offered great corporate knowledge of the area. The Condo is situated right on a fairly busy street and we were concerned with road noise, but the heavy sliding glass doors muffled most of the traffic noise that occurred in the evenings so no sleep was lost. We will definitely return to this island and we would not hesitate to book this again in the future if the opportunity arises.

Very nice apartment with real ocean view. Great location with shopping malls and restaurants all within walking distance.

We stayed for for 11 days and wished we could have stayed 11 more!
The condo was bright, cheery, and well furnished. The air conditioning was our salvation when we came back after hard days of vacationing in the sun, and we were able to control the temperature in each of the rooms which made it very nice.
The ocean views are stunning, and it was a picture perfect sunset every night. The very comfortable balcony let us enjoy the breeze while watching the surfers and street-action below.
We mostly used the BBQ's in the pool area , but the kitchen had all the pots 'n pans, plates, glassware, cutlery that we needed for all our meals, and there were some very nice storage containers for any leftovers. We got lots of use out of the cooler and the ice-packs on our outings, which sure made our excursions even more enjoyable.
We really liked the condo's centralized location, especially since the surf shop is on the ground floor, and the beach is across the street (which made it perfect for our morning walks).
We would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit!

Just returned from a wonderful stay in what we considered to be the best condo in the block. Everything from comfortable beds, updated bathrooms, fully fitted kitchen, beach towels, etc made for a great holiday. The views from the condo were exceptional with breakfast and sunset drinks being enjoyed on the very large lanai each day. The location was perfect and we tried hard to cover all the activities on offer on this lovely island. We had heaps of fun snorkeling with the Green Turtles both from the beach at Makena Landing and also by boat at Turtle Town. Sad to leave this piece of paradise but we will return to this condo again one day.

Maui – a repeat performance and just as great the second time around. We were fortunate enough to spend another week in Maui and stayed in Island Surf #501 again. New windows and sliding doors to the lanai, updates to the living room and dining area all made this stay more comfortable than our first. The condo is well appointed and has everything you need for your stay in Maui. Patty was responsive and helpful in answering any questions I had. Rented a car from Kihei car rentals and had a blast exploring the island. Snorkeling almost every day – and swimming with the turtles – what a delight! Our only regret was that we could not find the waterfall we were looking for! Just means we will need to come back to the island again. Aloha til next time!

Our family of 5 stayed here and we were impressed with the openness and cleanliness of the space. The apartment is just as it is advertised and was very comfortable for our family with kids aged 10, 12 and 16.
We loved the location as it was close to Foodland and within walking distance to the beach...across the street! The condo is also close to the highway so we were able to travel to different parts of the island easily.
Lastly, the view from the lanai is never tiredsome...can't wait to return!

We love Maui! And have spent many vacations there with our family so it was no accident when looking for a place to stay we knew the location we wanted. A Kihei location close to everything and with that great ocean view. We love the beaches on this side of the island.
I happen to find Pattys place and was not disappointed! The condo is set up so it is very private and functional for a family or even 2 couples. A double lanai for the sunsets, super clean and has everything you need for a great vacation. (W/D,towels,cooler,chairs,etc)
We hope to be back soon and and I will check for this home away from home first.

We loved our stay in this wonderful condo! Everything is exactly as shown in the pictures! Upon arrival, everything was clean and tidy. All that you need is inside the condo, including beach chairs, a boogie board, sand toys, and more. Our family spent mornings either going to beaches or getting surf lessons from a place just across the street eventually ending our day by lounging in the pool just before sunset. The condo is walking distance to restaurants, beaches, and a grocery store. It's also nice because Kalama Park is right across the street and the kids go to the playground or skate park. We like the lanai for watching people surf and play volleyball, as well as relax as we watch the sun set. It is also nice because there is a parking lot at the back of the condo if you will be renting a car. Although it may seem the street below is busy and noisy, it was nothing that we could complain about. The sliding doors really insulate the noise so when you close it at night you can hardly hear anything. Overall, our family really enjoyed our stay here. We felt comfortable and relaxed. Patty was so great with responding to emails! Thank you once again for sharing your home

My husband and I spent a week at this condo with our two year old in tow and really enjoyed it. The layout is fantastic - the two bedrooms are at opposite ends of the condo and there are two separate full baths. The condo is also stocked with anything you could need - nearly every day we would load the car up with the beach towels, beach chairs, and giant tub of beach toys that were provided. Aside from that, there is a great playground on the beach directly across from the condo. Our toddler was in heaven.
The area is great too. Lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. It's also half a block away from a good truck which sells the best tacos on Maui.
The owner Patty was wonderful to deal with, from first inquiry through to return of the deposit. She was very responsive and helpful. We would certainly stay here again.
