Molla and Kevin Wallace had create such a lovely place here in Poipu on Kaua'i. My wife and I booked the condo a few months before our stay from November 26 - December 03, 2010. From this moment on, Molla provided us with all relevant information and great tips for our time on this spectacular island of Hawai'i. She is a very friendly person and also helps us with spontaneous questions during our stay via Facebook. The condo is very beautiful and as described; the same applies for the surrounding, breath taking landscape. On both sides of the appartment house you have the chance to snorkel. A snorkel rental ("Boss Frog") is located one minute away from the condo at the front of the "Beach House Restaurant". In our holiday week we even saw a seal resting on the beach! The condo (e. g. the kitchen) for itself is fully equipped- we missed nothing! The internet access was working fast and undisturbed also. It's very hard for us to leave this place now... but we promise to come back one time! Thomas & Florentine Kreder from Munich, Germany

Molla and Kevin, Thank you so much for your beautiful condo! We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing Thanksgiving there. It is better than even the pictures on the inside, and we loved listening to the sound of the ocean when we woke up. The sunrises out the lanai are spectacular! The condo helped make the vacation and we look forward to returning! Lauren and Erin

This was my first time renting a condo for my vacation. I did investigate different places and prices. I was very satisfied with Kuhio Shores. The scenery was beautiful, the snorkeling was great. In fact, I took a boat trip in Maui for snorkeling and it wasn't half as good as outside my door in Kaui. I would recommend anyone to stay here. Thanks again, Molla. Kim

The condo is located in a gorgeous spot with a secluded cove and an awesome view. There is an ideal snorkeling spot walking distance from the condo and easy access to all activities on the island. The newly remodeled condo is very comfortable and has all the amentities needed. I would definitely return to this condo for future vacations.

Dear Molla, We can not thank you enough for sharing your island home with us. We had a wonderful visit to Kaua'i! We would have been happy spending the entire trip sitting on the Lanai watching the waves, whales and the sea turtles. We did venture out to see a good bit of the island and are looking forward to future trips when we can see some more. Your condo is lovely and very comfortable. The pride of ownership is apparent in all the beautiful natural materials you have used and they really enhance the experience there. I am mailing the key back tomorrow morning. We will definately refer your condo to our friends and family (my mother is all ready interested and talking to my dad) and hope to stay with you again when we are able to return. I can't imagine better accomodations anywhere. Mahalo, Susan Lucas

Molla and Kevin, What a beautiful home you have! The view was amazing! For us visiting from Arizona - hearing the ocean day and night was heaven! I couldn't wait to wake up every morning just to watch the sea turtles. They were magical. It was definitely one of the best trips we have ever been on. We just loved every minute of it. We would highly recommend your condo to anyone and everyone! It was so comfortable and inviting! Thanks and hope we can make it back one day....

Molla, We had an AWESOME time!! #305 is definitely one of the better, if not the best, units in the complex. We know this as a result of conversations with several other guests. Also, the owners of the other units were very friendly and helpful. We checked out the other resorts in the area (and in Princeville) and without a doubt your’s is the best, with views of the water and related ocean life. We observed turtles (like you said), dolphins, and whales from the Lanai . We had a great time. We’ll definitely tell our friends/family about your unit and our experience. When we go back with our daughter we’ll defiantly stay at your place!!!Thank you for all your help and with helping us experience of the great island of Kauai . Mahalo, Tim Lalley

Hi Molla, Thank you! We had an absolutely wonderful time in Kauai. The condo was everything we hoped it would be. What a view out to the water! As we traveled around, we couldn't help but compare where we were staying to all the other options, and we couldn't find a place we'd have rather been. It really helped make our trip. Thank you for keeping such a beautiful and inviting home. We managed to keep ourselves relatively busy while we were there, between snorkeling (outside the condo and elsewhere), hiking (to Hanakapiai Beach, and at Waimea Canyon), and sitting on the beach. It was a great mix of relaxing and being active. We also saw plenty of turtles, both from the lanai and up close under water. Amazing! So all in all it was a fantastic honeymoon for us, and we were sad to have to say goodbye to the condo and to Kauai. It's a long trip from the east coast, but we resolved to come back whenever we can. Again, your condo is wonderful, and we hope to be able to stay there when we eventually return to Kauai. And we'll absolutely recommend it to anyone we know who heads out that way. Thanks again! Mark

Molla & Kevin, Wow, your condo was everything we had looked forward to and more. I think the best part was grabbing a cup of coffee in the morning and having the option to sit out on the Lanai and watch the sea turtles below or take a walk outside and sit and watch the ocean waves break. You have done such an amazing job with the place making it "home-y" and "vacation-y" at the same time. We would love to go back and stay there anytime-great location, great accomodations, great view. It was also a pleasure dealing with you. Thanks for everything. Warm Regards, Scott & Amy Jo

Hi Molla,Mike and I wanted to thank you and your husband for creating such a beautiful, cozy, and warm retreat during our stay in your condo in Kauai. You were right, we weren’t there long enough. We have to stay at least a week next time. Mike swam with the sea turtles, my favorite sea animals, almost every day! They only hung out on our side of the condo that’s facing the bay. Mike watched them eat algae that’s found only on the rocks out in front of your condo. We watched them a few hours in the afternoon from the lanai on a daily basis. What a special treat! We have stayed in other condos before that were right on the beach as well, and none has compared to yours. It exceeded our expectations! It was huge and felt like we stayed in a suite. The décor was beautifully done. My husband thought you and I shared the same decorating taste, such as the same maple cabinets in the bathroom and similar hardware with the brushed nickel finish, and the chenille sofa. I knew there was a reason we connected so well. We plan on visiting all the islands, so only the Big Island to go and then we’ll make our way back to Kauai for a much longer stay in the near future. I couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else on the island. We visited other condo complexes and big hotel chains and loved your condo and its location best. We didn’t do much on Kauai because our time was limited and we really wanted to relax. Although, we did spend a day driving up to the North Shore. We visited Wailua Falls on the way, which was beautiful. We love the Trailblazer book you provided in the condo. We took the driving tour, which was perfect!We took a stroll down Poipu beach and saw a monk seal that just had a baby, which was so neat to see (they were across the beach on a sandbar). We snorkeled almost every day on our beach and saw a bunch of fish. The water was a little rough where the sea turtles hung out, so I didn’t make it out there but Mike (who’s part fish, I’m convinced) was with them as I sat and watched from above on the rocks. The ceiling fan worked really well at night. Overall, too short a trip but what a great place to visit and a what a wonderful condo you both have! It really made us feel like home. We had all the amenities of being at home (iron, blow dryer, etc.), thank you for providing such wonderful accommodations for us and being a wonderful host from a far!Thank you for everything! You made our one-year anniversary so special for providing such an incr

We had the time of our lives and just loved your condo. The a/c in the bedroom will make it just perfect, even though we thought the fan kept us cool enough. Thanks for letting us borrow your gem. We sure will stay with you the next time we go to this wonderful island. Thank so you so much for the excellent service. Enrique

Thanks Molla- From the moment we arrived, we knew we have found a special place. The beauty and comfort of the condo along with the view, and sounds of the ocean really exceeded our expectations. We were so pleased. This is a special place. We hope to return soon. Blessings, Mike

Dear Kevin and Molla, We had a great time on our honeymoon thanks to the wonderful accommodations you provided. During our first dinner on the lanai we saw four sea turtles. The sunsets were spectacular as well, and the pulsing of the waves helped us sleep. Your accommodations were clean, well decorated, and of high quality. Being so close to restaurants, Poipu Beach, Spouting Horn, and shopping centers helped make our stay even more luxurious. Thank you so much for helping to make our honeymoon so wonderful, Helen and Jacob

Molla, We had a fabulous time! Staying at your condo was great and the keys are in the mail headed your way (sent earlier this afternoon via USPS). The directions worked well, and it's as everyone says - it really is impossible to get lost on the island. The bamboos floors are as beautiful in person as they are in your photos. And we had daily afternoon turtle sightings the last 5 days off the condo balcony. Each day around 5pm one would show up and hang out in the rocks just below. One day there were two. I don't know if he was there earlier in the week and I just didn't notice, but it was definately a highlight to see "him" playing. I had two guests stay with me - one the first half and a different one the second half. Both had fabulous comments about the condo as well. I'm thrilled that this worked out so well. We did receive the aloha basket, although since there was no note or anything, I wasn't sure if it was something there just for show or if it was for us, so mostly I left it alone, although one day I was extremely hungry and had a snack (Mahalo!). You might want to have someone leave a note next time, just for clarification in case they are as hesitant as I am. The bouquet of flowers was a really nice touch. I'd love to stay with you again and will definately think of you for my next trip (may it be very soon!). By the way, I can't tell you how thrilled I was the first day to discover that the chairs reclined fully - I fell asleep in one and didn't move for about 4 hours! They are a great touch. Heidi
