Our stay-cation was the best ever. It was private, spacious, and relaxing. There was enough room and activities on the property for all to enjoy. It was even more special to be able to enjoy a wonderful beach side intimate graduation celebration luncheon. The icing on the cake was the 'surprise' wedding proposal. I guess we may need to come back for the wedding. Thank you again for your gracious hospitality.

We loved your home it was a great place to stay, away from the hustle & bustle of Honolulu. The beach was perfect for the five children. We love staying by the North Shore area. Thanks for being so kind & helpful.

We had a super terrific time on your island and in your home. It was a well deserved vacation and what a place to call home. It was nice to go to the city and at the end of the day, we came back here to peace and quiet and no people. We loved it! Thanks again.

Our family had a wonderful time - got to see a whale, turtles, go snorking, kayaking and just hang out in a bit of paradise.......your home was a perfect place for my husband and I to renew our vows and celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our family. You have a slice of paradise here! Thank you again.......we plan to come back to stay here!

Lisa and Gary, I have to tell you we were amazed when we opened your front gate. What a beautiful view from your yard. Our family spent many hours watching the waves and the turtles. Our kids and grandkids had so much fun with the extras you provided (kayak and boogie boards especially). We couldn't have asked for anything more. Your home provided enough space for all 8 of us to be together or to spread out if we wanted. Thanks so much we had a great family adventure. Debbie, Dan, Kelly, Kayla, Lori, Kevin, Ashie, and Ryan

What an amazing home. We come to the islands often but this has been a wonderful trip and very relaxing in your beautiful beach house. We enjoyed kayaking even in the rain. The highlight of this place is definitely the spectacular sunrises! Wow! We'll be back soon!

Dear Lisa & Gary, You have a wonderful home here in Punalu'u. The consideration and thoughtfullness you have exercised in furnishing and equiping the property makes it an exceptional destination. The five star resorts have nothing that is not available here. In fact, your place has so much going for it that we seldom ventured beyond the beach setting that is provided here. All the other places that we had contemplated visiting on Oahu seemed lost from our itinerary as we were reluctanat to leave this bit of paradise. All our family sends a warm MAHALO to the both of you for providing such a gret place to gather. Beauty on the Beach, like Oahu, is truly the "Gathering Place" for all those wishing to relax, rejuvenate and find peace. The Harlan Family

Dear Lisa & Gary, What a wonderful place for our family vacation! We were amazed with all the things that were provided with the house. Of course, the highlights of the vacation were the 2 papios and 1 weke caught by my grandson & husband. They were in "heaven" after catching those fish! Everyone is already trying to plan our next vacation at "Beauty on the Beach". Mahalo for everything!

Gary & Lisa, Thank you so much for allowing us the use of your beautiful beach house. It was equipped with everything! We all had a wonderful and relaxing time. The children were able to swim and play in the sand, while the adults fished all day long. My husband was lucky enough to catch an ulua right from shore! Thanks again for a spectacular vacation! We couldn't have asked for a better location or home to stay in.

Hello Gary and Lisa, Thank you very much for letting us stay at your gorgeous vacation rental. This place was really way more than we expected we had a wonderful time. The weather was beautiful and we did catch some papio and oio out there too. The next time we decide to do a fishing getaway again we definitely want to look you up again. Thank you very much again for making this possible.

To Lisa and Gary, We find it very hard to leave this beautiful piece of heaven! We have enjoyed every moment we've spent here. The children have loved being able to wake up and play in the sand and look for shells. It has been so fun to watch the sunrises and be able to enjoy our own personal beach. We were all very comfortable. Thank you for letting us stay and for making our stay so comfortable. You've been very kind and accommodating.

Dearest Lisa & Gary, After being together for 5 years, Gina & Alex were adamant that they didn't need or want a wedding, but just a marriage. Your beautiful beachside home gave them much, much more. They will have beautiful memories to last a lifetime. Your own graciousness and warmth is felt throughout your home. Everyone, including the handful of friends and family who came to share in this special ocassion, felt welcome. A mother could not ask for more-you were key in making a special day extraordinary! Thank you for sharing the beauty and spirit of this place. It is a reflection of you both and your aloha. Mother-of-the-Bride

Gary & Lisa, Thank you so much for opening your home to us and allowing us to enjoy this wonderful, fun, and peaceful place. The kids had a great time. The adults did too. You've done a great job of setting up the house for guests. We love the picnic table outside because it could accommodate the whole family. As I mentioned previously, we've been looking for a new beach house to resume our annual or semi-annual family get together. We hope that you'll have us back again sometime. Until then...... Much aloha & God bless!
