This was the perfect place for us to celebrate my father turning 70, my husbands father turning 70 and my son turning 6! BG, you were so easy to work with, so accomodating to us and your condo was well-equipped with everything we needed and more! Thank you for everything.

Thank you for the accomodations. The condo was nice and spacious with more than enough room for the five of us. The location is very convenient - a very shor drive from all our activities. We had a great time taking advantage of the diving with Jack's Diving Locker. The service and sites were fantastic. Our entire family had an amazing time here. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for letting us stay in your condo on such short notice - you were a life/vacation saver! Who comes to Hawaii on vacation and doesn't want a pool - it's our favorite thing to do after diving all day with the great people at Jack's. Plus, since I like to cook, you have the best equipped kitchen I have ever had at a rental condo. As usual, the diving was great and we saw lots of great critters - mantas, eagle rays, sharks, pilot whales, octopus, dolphins, turtles & lots of fish. I even got to hold a seahorse at the seahorse farm! Thanks again for being a wonderful hostess and we'll be back. STAYED 4/28/07 - 5/5/07

Mahalo, BG, for making your great place here available and affordable. It meant that much more diving we could do! We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai and having our breakfast out there each morning. Also enjoyed many walks into town at night to have ice cream and watch beach volleyball. Lots of great diving with the Jack's crew. The manta dive will forever be a very special memory. It's been a great trip to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We won't wait another 25 years to return!! John 3:16 STAYED 7/6/06 - 7/17/06
