Dear Steve & Manu, Mahalo for thinking of everything and for the welcome provisions from Kumu Farms. We feel most fortunate to stay again this year. And now you're booked for our next visits - we are happy your condo is not a secret spot - next visit we will to to Aunty Ruby's Cafe as well. I hear many good reports. All the best Dick & Karen (returning guests)

Steve & Manu As usual an awesome time on our favorite island. Molokai 'no ka oi'. Thanks again to Steve & Manu & Kumu Farms for all the sweet papaya and apple bananas. This *IS* the place th hang & relax!! Saw a turtle on our snorkel at Papohaku & enjoyed the fish as well. Many super days at Papohaku Sun & Swim & Sizzle. Thanks for letting us share this place which has created many treasured memories for us. Mahalo! Mark & Kim, (our 2nd visit here)

Dear Steve & Manu Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful condo. Especially on such short notice. We needed a quiet getaway - our visit here has allowed us time to reunite as a couple and reaffirm our friendships with our friends - who stayed in another condo nearby. I couldn't imagine a more beautiful setting to accomplish this in. This is our friest visit to Hawaii - A dream come true! Everyday there was something new to see and discover. Each day ending with a visit to one of the many beaches to watch the sun set. Thank you for not only providing a gorgeous home away from home for us but one that was safe & secure. We've made memories here that will last a lifetime. Aloha Jeff & Mary

Dear Steve & Manu Thank you so much for all your hospitality and the welcome gift. We enjoyed the house with its wonderful decor! We had fun flying a kite on the closest beach. Had a good meal at Aunty Ruby's Cafe. Lyle had a great time snorkeling at the 20 mile marker. We hope we will be able to return again. Aloha Sharon & Lyle

Our first trip to Moloka and it was wonderful. We had great weather, lots of swimming and sitting on the beach. The condo was beautiful all your little extras made it so specail. The map was a big help for us. It was really nice to find the beach towels and beach chairs and cooler. Hope to come back again.

Aloha Nui, The trainquility of your west side heaven goes beyond comfort and words - Thank you for the taste, literally (Kumu Farms!) and figuratively of laid back living. "Lofting" us home in our hearts and then the bonus of beautiful body surfing waves. Keep well with yourselves and each other. We'll be passing your cards around. Thank you both ever so much until we meet again.

Steve & Manu, we've had the time of our lives here on Molokai. This time around the most amazing weather. Who would have thoguth we could swim (or at least splash in the waves!) not one but three times at Papohaku beach! In Winter!! And who would have thought we would buy a condo during our stay?!?! Sadly it looks like we will not be returning ast your guests but instead we will happily return as your neighbors! Thank you, dear friends, for everything. Your hospitality, there are no words other than Thank You, Grazie, Mahalo.

This was our first visit to Molokai - what an "Awesome Island!!" We've been to many others in the Hawaiian chain and Molokai is our favorite, hands-down!! Awesome days at Papohaku Beach, (Short walk south) were heavenly!! Plenty of alone time for us on our 30th Anniversary!! I guess thiw as a good time of year for empty beaches, yea - nice beaches to the north also (follow the golf course). Trip to Halawa Bay (East side end of road) worth the short drive as well as magnificient views of Lanai, Maui & other sites along the way. See the Kalaupapa lookout, it's breathtaking as well as the inspiring story of Father Damien. We both want to return to Molokai ASAP. Much Mahalo to Steve & Manu for their hospitality, thoughtfulness and attention to detail wich enhanced our stay on this favorite island. Nice to make new friends as that is the way Steve & Manu make you feel! Awesome waves at the north end of the beach. Aloha to All Enjoy!

Great place Steve! Great location! Nice SECLUDED beaches nearby, great island to just be at peace. The pizza at Molokai Pizza was good, otherwise cooking at the condo was preferred. Will rent a 4WD next time, see more of the island. Papohaku beach was wonderful but the 5 minute trail walk over to the clothing optional secluded beach was even better! Will have to come visit again.

Steve & Manu, From the classy, well done decoration and layout of your place, its peaceful serence location - we have thoroughly enjyoued our stay here. The fruit baske, coffee, teas and friendly suggestions to check out the Farmer's market - all of these touches have been appreciated. As our first time here in Molokai winds to a close we feel sad to say 'goodbye' but know after finding such a gem of a place to stay and an island to enjoy - we will return! Perhaps we will meet next time around. With Aloha. PS> We went to Hotel Molokai and had a wonderful experience - service & food & music: all positive.

Steve & Manu, Thanks for the use of your condo. Our first visit to Molokai was completed with the stay at your place. It was much cooler, quieter and cleaner than our stay earlier in the week at the Hotel Molokai. Hopefully we can come back again and get a walk about tour of the Kumu Farms. We enjoyed walks along the beaches, especially the Papohaku Beach. It is a beautiful island and your condo is just as beautiful, tastefully decorated and perfectly situated for a view of the ocean. Thanks for letting us stay past the check out time - it was much appreciated. Again thanks,

Dear Steve & Manu! Thank yo uso much for this incredible Molokai home. Our time here was (oh, how sad to write about this vacation in the past tense) filled with the most perfect vacation activities, including our most favorite - having "lazy time" in your condo. Thank you for your hospitality and help with our trip. My mom who is visiting from Ukraine loved it here. We hope to come back one day. Many Thanks! Aloha!

Dear Steve & Manu, This must be the saddest day of all -- since we will be leaving. Words can not express the beauty of this place on earth and we feel so lucky to have experienced it. The Outpost Natural Store was our favorite! The people are wonderful here. Thank you for the direction to the private cove at Kawakiu. It was breathtaking! your condo & your hospitality are perfect! This is exactly what we needed before the arrival of our little girl. Warmest regards,

Steve, Again I must say I think I've tasted heaven - what a surprise to be able to stay in such a beautiful place. I loved the fruit and also the speedy fix to the TV dilemma. You asked that I mention anything you could add or do better - not a thing. It was perfect! Thank you again for making this available.

Dear Steve & Manu, You deserve the greatest thanks for opening your hearts to me and my family during our first (hopefully of many) Molokai stays. The lovely, comfortable condo bore all the touches of a well-appointed, pampered home. May you both always recognize how blessed you are to reside on such a beautiful isle with such a generous, friendly populations. Allow me to pass on a word of advice to your future guests: Ask Manu for a walk about of her wonderful fruit and herb farm (Kumu Farms) where produce is grown with love and the earth in mind. Fondest Aloha and Namaste,

Dearest Steve & Manu, What a pleasure it was to spend these few days in your lovely and accomodating condo. Your sweet touches are everywhere, making it so comfortable and homey. We appreciate all your assistance regarding meeting the kind Molokai folks. We found them kind and caring. Perhaps one day we will return to once again enjoy the beautiful scenery, beaches, music and culture. Looking out from the condo toward th ocean seems like looking at a lovely postcard. May your lives be blessed every day in every way. We wish you joy and peace.

Our favorites include the many miles of secluded beaches, the Nature Conservancy board walk and the mule ride to Kalaupapa. Mahalo!

Dear Steve & Manu, What a dreamy honeymoon we had here on Molokai. your condo is thoughtfully, tastefully and beautifully appointed - we love the stone and tile and all the artful accents and we spent many memorable moments dining, chatting and cocktailing on the lanai. The blender is a great touch of Aloha for making pina coladas. We especially enjoyed snorkeling at Dixie Mauru and shelling on both beaches and the staff at the General Store in Maunaloa town was friendly and helpful so we were able to dine on all sorts of local specialties from the store: Ahi Poke, local squash, pork dumplings. And so we tak our leave... with hopes of a quick return. All the best.

Steve & Manu, Thanks for sharing with us your wonderful place in paradise. We couldn't ask for anything better. It was so nice to wake up each morning to the beautiful ocean & blue skies. Also thank you for all the little things you provided for us to make our trip extra special. This was my first trip to Molokai and my husband's fifth but we will be sure to come back here in the future (sooner than later). Now its time to go back home where its cold and snowy. Again thanks for sharing!

Steve & Manu, We loved the place, the beach is nice, great view. We went all over the island and found lots of nice places to see and enjoy. A 4x4 would be the best option to see some of the island. We liked the pople and the island very much. We have never been to Molokai but now have been to all the islands. Molokai is a great place!
