I am writing to say how much my wife and I enjoyed our stay in No. 52. Your condo was really a home away from home with everything we needed in good condition and well maintained. It was particularly enjoyable for us as our son, his wife and our grandson stayed in another unit 2 blocks away from us. With the large lawn areas and close proximity to the beach it was an ideal setting to relax and have a family visit and enjoy our 2 year old grandson.

Dear Seth and Tracy, Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in your condo back in January. Of course the landscaping was impressive as was your home! Our two weeks there were perfect..even during the one day of rain! We think that your remodeling was wonderful. The detail of the white moldings all around really set the place off! So needless to say, we had a great time. And the new dishwasher worked so much better than the old one. Thanks for that update, too.

We loved your beautiful Kiahuna #52. The location is perfect, the furnishings are top notch (especially loved the new King size bed !), and the resort had so many fun activities to offer. We didn't want to leave, and we can't wait to return !!

We had a delightful time in Hawaii and your condo was just perfect for our stay on the south of the island. The wedding we attended was in Princeville, but we both agreed we would go back to the south side again. The beach was so close and just our speed. Your condo was charming and so comfortable. You did a very nice job of updating it. We would love to go again.

We just wanted to let you know that we just got home late last night and are already missing your unit. We loved it, the colors the walls, the décor, everything! The bed was really comfortable too, and being 6 months pregnant I thank you for that. Thanks again for being so great with the rental and letting us stay in what we called “home” for the past two weeks! We will be staying with you again I am sure =)

This is a bit late, but we just wanted to say thank you for our wonderful stay in your condo. The extra touches were great;boogie board, fantastic beach umbrellas, coolers, swimming noodles... We especially appreciated you extending our time for final check out on our last day. This made it easier for our young family to have a rest in the afternoon before catching our late plane. Mahalo!! We will be recommending your condo to our family and friends.

We enjoyed our stay in Kauai very much. The fact that you can walk right outside onto a magnificent lawn that overlooks such a nice beach is great for those of us who love to read by the ocean without all the usual packing of gear. Your place is in very nice condition and well kept up. So are the grounds. We would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

Hi Seth and Tracy, Just a note to say we had a wonderful time in Kauai! Your place was wonderful and worked perfectly for us. The upgrades you made were very nice. It turns out Kristen's brother happened to rent your parents' unit, which was very nice as well. Also, we left a boogie board and skim board we got in Hawaii with your boogie board that we didn't want to bring home with us. We thought your kids might get some use out of them. It was nice to have the bocce ball and wiffle ball our kids could play with as well.

We enjoyed our stay immensely in your Kiahuna condo, and are sorry it’s taken so long for us to let you know how pleasant we found everything. Your home was very comfortable, beautiful, and convenient. We were both in a state of depression upon leaving. We, of course, hope to return, perhaps next time with our grown children.

Aloha Folks, Paula and I returned home last Monday and wanted to report back to you. Our vacation was great and all went very well staying at your condo. We liked the location very much and it was just close enough to our kids and grandkids staying at Pouipo Sands. It kinds looks like the Tennis Club, Restaurant, and Pool may be on it's last legs. I dont think they have the business to stay open. We explored from one end to the other and enjoyed the west beach area on a couple rainy days. Thanks again and I'm sure we left your condo in excellent shape.

Thank you very much for renting your condo to us! We had a blast the whole 2 weeks. We stayed on the North Shore in Princeville for the first three nights and then headed down to Kiahuna. We loved the location of the Kiahuna Plantation, that is the best beach for families - we had great snorkeling, kid-level bodysurfing, and hardly any other people on the beach just between Kiahuna and the Marriott. We took a couple of glasses of Chardonnay and cheese/french bread to the Kiahuna Beach each night to watch the sunset. In the mornings we made espresso (we brought a stovetop machine) and took walks to see seals and turtles! on the Kiahuna Beach. Your condo is in excellent shape and the decor was definitely the best of any we saw at the Plantation. It really felt like a little cottage by the ocean. We appreciated that you keep everything in good shape and clean. There was a boogie board, a board for kids to view fish, and a cooler in the closet. We also appreciated the vacuum - nice touch and helpful. We also like the info. book you made and keep in the condo. we used it many times. Your condo is also easy to keep clean which can be a struggle when traveling with a 1st grader and kindergartner. Our kids loved the pool - it is clean and warm plus the filtration system is great because you can open your eye under the water and they don't hurt. We explored the entire island in our convertible (they are now the price of small rental cars). One last thing, thanks for the tip on Keiko's - we went 3 times! Thanks again, we will recommend your condo. to our friends and family! -beverly

Before any more time passes, I wanted to let you know that Dan and I had a fabulous time in Kauai. Your condo is wonderful, nicely decorated and we loved feeding the birds on the Lanai. The grounds at Kiahuna can't be beat, We wouldn't stay at any other place -Kauai is an absolutely beautiful island! No wonder you fell in love. Thank you so much for the late checkout, it gave us some time to relax before our flight. Thank you for sharing your condo with us! Mahalo! Dan and Caprena

We just returned from our wedding trip to Kauai, and we just wanted to tell you how amazing your place is. We had several family members and friends staying at other condos in Kiahuna Plantation, and while they were all nicely appointed, yours was by far our favorite!! We could tell you had put a lot of time and love into your beach house, and we felt so comfortable the whole time. The grounds were so spectacular, but our favorite was the plumeria tree right off of your patio! We picked up the blooms that had fallen and actually incorporated them into our wedding. The entire trip was spectacular, and we will be sure to return to Kiahuna 52 for anniversary trips in the future!

We really enjoyed exploring Kauai. We were very busy doing all of the "must do" things but everyday was great. We saw sea turtles, whales, monk seals... the ocean. One day a monk seal suddenly came up beside our 8 year old swimming here at the Kiahuna Beach - amazing !! The children also loved the pool. This condo was perfect for us - so well supplied, situated and convenient. Thank you !! We will be back to visit Kauai and your Kiahuna beach house #52 !!

I just fell in love with Kauai and hope to return with my husband at some point. Thank you so much for your help in finding the unit next door so that we could stay the extra time.

Well, we're back home, but we'd rather still be in Hawaii! We had a wonderful time at your condo in Kauai's Kiahuna Plantation. It was a perfect spot for us to stay, and it was a beautifully-appointed unit. We did have a mix of sun, cloud, and rain while we were there, but we did come home with suntans! We wrote quite a bit in your guest book, but we really enjoyed the island, especially snorkeling at Lawai Beach (by the Beach House) and hiking in the Waimea Canyon. Food was excellent wherever we went, but we really enjoyed the Plantation Garden and Tidepools at the Hyatt. A highlight our trip was a tour of the island by Island Helicopters - it was really amazing - especially since there are some areas that cannot be seen even by hiking - spectacular views, waterfalls, etc. - we even flew right into the volcano crater in the centre of the island - amazing views of 3500' cliffs and 100' waterfalls! - the NaPali coast is stunning from the air. Although we didn't need them much, we did find the staff at Castle Resorts pleasant and helpful. Thanks again for everything, and I trust that we left your condo as we found it.

Hi! I do not know if I ever sent you an e-mail telling you how nice we thought your condo was. If not, I thought I should do so now. We stayed in your condo for 5 nights in May, and had a wonderful time. It was exactly how it looked in the pictures and the complex was how you had described it (which is so nice to find out). The condo was well maintained and had everything that we would need. The location was ideal, and the beach wonderful. We explored Kauai quite a bit and always enjoyed coming back to the Kiahuna. Thanks again for maintaining such a nice condo! We will definitely recommend this one to our family and friends
