"When we got here, we couldn't believe how nice your house was! You provided everything we could possibly need. This is a beautiful location and it's close to everything...We really enjoyed the swimming pool and eating dinner on the back patio. As if going to Hawaii wasn't good enough, your house definitely made it even better! Thank you for providing everything and sharing your wonderful house with us! We hope to come back and stay here again soon!"

"This is our 2nd trip to your house. The last one was 4 years ago with our kids & mother-in-law. This time it was just me & my husband and a couple from Pahoa that we have been friends with for 35 years now. The weather has been beautiful and the house has been great. We really got to relax this trip. The last one we were on the go every day. We will be saving up for another trip back from Virginia. Mahalo."

"Another perfect tropical vacation. We were here last June with our kids & grandkids and we loved it so much we returned with some of our friends who had not been to the Big Island before. Everyone had a great time & I'm sure we will be back. Special thanks to our hosts for helping us to get tickets for Merrie Monarch!"

"Jamie, wanted to thank you and let you know how much we enjoyed your home. It was our favorite of all the places we stayed and we had so much fun in the pool. Your beds were so comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen for fixing meals. We all grew up in Laguna Beach and would go to sleep each night to the sound of the waves. We had a chance to relive that memory at your home. Thank you too for the generous gift basket. We left Volcano Park later than we had wanted and ended up driving in the dark during a severe rain storm which was a bit nerve racking. We were so afraid we wouldn't find the house. Your directions were perfect though and that bottle of wine was such a welcome sight when we arrived. Mahalo."

"We had a wonderful time at Mika 'Alua this month. The home is front and center on an exciting and spectacular ocean view with the purest air in the world. It is large, beautifully decorated and very well equipped for all possible needs and activities. The snorkeling in lava tidepools just a few doors down the road, and swimming in nearby warm tidepools was outstanding. Hilo and the Puna area have more diversity and beauty to offer than most appreciate. We visited wonderful botanical gardens and beautiful parks, volcano national park and lava flows, coffee farms, interesting restaurants in Pahoa and Hilo, and a new and unique astronomy and cultural center at the University of Hawaii to mention just a few of the area attractions we experienced during out stay. Thank you Jamie for sharing your unique and beautiful home!"

"This experience has made the friendship between 8 of us even stronger than anyone could ever imagine. Thank you so much for providing us with a home away from home. It's definitely hard for us to leave, but don't worry, I'm sure will be back. This place is definitely awesome, and when I mean awesome, I mean 18,000 burritos awesome!! Mahalo!"

"Aloha Jamie & Noi, We are on an extended honeymoon which began in 1955 in the Hawaiin Islands. Now my beautiful bride is 78 and I am an oldie 80. Our 3rd visit to Hilo. We wanted to stay in a beautiful place, and this is indeed a praradise! We could have stayed a month but your availability - sadly, was for only 5 days. Thank you so much for your hospitality. The thoughtful little touches show what wonderful people you are. Wish we could have met you! Mahalo."
