Excerpt from Guest Book: "Dear Sterling & Trisha, Our family had a glorious vacation and it started when we arrived at your home. Staying for two weeks gave us the opportunity to really settle in and enjoy your home and this side of the Big Island. We balanced quality relaxation time with sightseeing. We have travelled all over the world and this is the first time we actually rented a home and "what a home!" Two quotes sums up our experience. My mother-in-law: "I was just ecstatic and taken aback with my room and time here." Our eight year son, who has been to Disneyland, San Diego, Hawaii on two previous visits, Florida, Jamaica and many other places: "This is the best vacation ever!" Mahalo.

Excerpt from Guest Book: "Dear Sterling & Trisha, Mahalo!! Your home was/is absolutely perfect for our family vacation! There was nothing we needed upon our arrival. From seasonings in kitchen to soap for laundry. You did a fabulous job thinking out all the possible needs & wants. We feel so privileged to stay in such a beautiful spot. The pools, the snorkeling, the ambiance, the birds, geckos, what a beautiful Hawaiian Paradise! We kept the doors & windows open all night & listened to all the bird and frog noises. We traveled all over the island from here........ We really did so much & came HOME to this lovely place. We love the fence around the yard & the privacy, We truly will recommend this place to others who are traveling. This side of the island isn't that far away from anywhere you want to go. What a place to come home to! Mahalo."

Excerpt from Guest Book: " Dear Trisha & Sterling, Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home! Everything was so organized and ready for us. Your decorating & remodeling was so well done. We love being in Hilo! We had adventure filled days and then could come home to this beautiful house. The tide pools are such a wonderful plus. The snorkeling was amazing. The home office was so helpful for all of us but especially for Steve, since he was in the middle of a big project. He could vacation & keep up with things at work. Thank you fro your prompt response to our questions. Julie and Archie (past guests here) were right about this. We will recommend your home as well.

E-mail from Guest: "Aloha Trisha and Sterling, I am settling back into my regular routine at home now (in Tennessee), and I just wanted to let you know that my sister, mother, and I had such a wonderful time staying at your lagoon Shangrila that we completely forgot to add a note to your guest book! We loved staying at your vacation home--you thought of everything that made our visit comfortable, relaxing, and perfect for a vacation. We look forward to returning in the future and sharing the experience with other family members. You have a wonderful system in place. Keep up the good work! Mahalo, Martha"

Dear Trisha and Sterling, We had a great time here in Hawaii. We are so glad that we decided to stay on this side of the island. You definitely have a well stocked home which was much appreciated. The ice chest got a lot of use and we were all over the island. We'll be sure to recommend your rentall home to any other friends visiting the Big Island. Thank you ! San Diego, Ca and Gilroy, Ca.

E-mail from Guest: "HI Trish and Sterling, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for an excellent visit to Kapoho! We absolutely loved the area, and the house. It was AWESOME. Everything was perfect. My kids are totally in love with your pond, and all of the fish and the huge frog that they just discovered today. We leave tomorrow morning and we're very sad about that. All good things.... We'll definitely be in touch if we come to Hawaii again, or if we know of anyone coming to this island! Thanks, Melissa"
