Hi Beverly, Thanks for the heads up on the security deposit refund. I will keep an eye out. The Hale Aloha house was lovely and we enjoyed our stay on the north side very much. We experienced a huge thunderstorm late Friday night which took out the power until mid-morning Saturday, but it was way cool! I haven't been in such a good thunderstorm for some time due to the weak monsoons we have had for the past couple of years. My husband and I hiked the first 2 miles of the Kalalau Trail early on Saturday and had sun all the way to the beach. Then the clouds rolled in and we hiked the return trip in alternating downpours and sprinkles. It was great and we felt like intrepid explorers (although we had to be quite careful in some parts). Everyone enjoyed just listening to the surf in the evening - so relaxing. Thanks again for sharing your home with us.

Aloha Patricia, Beverly, I wanted to say thank you so much for making our stay last week in Kauai so wonderful! My family loved the house and it was just as Sami and I remembered it. I think even the roosters were quieter this time! We had a wonderful time and the house is amazing. So clean and cozy and just perfect. Patricia - thanks for stopping by and answering all our questions, as well as entertaining Ali. She's still working on her "shockaaaa!!!" We really enjoyed the outdoor shower downstairs and it was so great to have such a big table to gather around at mealtimes. The lanai got a lot of use - from those of us unafraid of the mosquitoes! And we made use of the puzzles you had, as well as some of the beach reading. Several in our family are fast readers, so I think we got through 3-4 books while we were there. Thanks again, and looking forward to next time. Mahalo

Doug & Bev, Our second visit to Hale Aloha was as special as our first; and this time we were able to share it with very close friends. Sorry we didn't see you this trip, but perhaps in the future. With warmest regards and Mahalo! P.S. - Our son & new wife wanted us to note how very much they enjoyed spending their honeymoon in the Garden Cottage last July. They were really jealous of us!!

House comfortable & welcoming

This comfortable house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 young children. Thanks for having the high chair and baby gate! We loved the large living/kitchen area with the beautiful lush green and ocean views. We were thrilled to find the kitchen well-equipped. Beds were great. We actually enjoyed waking up to the rooster calls - never bothered us at all. Wish the beach out front were safe for kids-its not. However, we drove to different gorgeous N & E shore beaches everyday. Bought delicious fresh fish & poke often at Hanalei Dolphin Fish Market and treated ourselves regularly with Lapperts ice cream in Princeville. Our biggest splurge was Nalu Kai Grill at St. Regis, Princeville. Sunset magazine recommended their ginger-cucumber-margarita, & it was fabulous. Our 10 days here went all too fast. Thank you for making this house so comfortable & welcoming for a family retreat. From: Granite Bay, CA

What a perfect place in which to celebrate our parent's 50th wedding anniversary! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. The accommodations were perfect for our family, and the site was close to many great beaches. We enjoyed several meals in your well-appointed kitchen, and the "Wishing Well" shave ice was definitely a highlight of the week. Thanks again for helping to enable a truly special and memorable trip! Aloha from Minnesota & Colorado

Doug, Bev, Patricia, Thank you so much for your hospitality and the blessing of using your beautiful beach house. There were 8 of us girls who enjoyed sunsets, windsurfing, snorkeling, boat tour, lots of beach time, sushi, shopping, scuba diving (1 of us), swimming relaxing, fun conversation, taking in the beauty of the island, walks & jogging, cooking in your beautiful kitchen, farmers market, freaking out about the biggest centipede we've ever seen, etc, etc. We are grateful for these experiences and are feeling refreshed before getting back to the routine. Thanks again & God bless you! From: Ohio & Indiana

I loved staying here in Kauai. My family and I got to go on this awesome helicopter ride!!! Also, we went to Waimea Canyon and it was really pretty :) Then we hiked 8 miles to the 3,000 ft waterfall of the Napali Coast. It was beautiful but tiring and our group got separated a few times. Other than the roosters in the morning we had a GREAT time here in Kauai. Lily Hallett and the rest of the family

Hale Aloha and the guest cottage was the perfect place for a family reunion and a "BIG" birthday celebration. The house could not have been better for our clan- so comfortable, spacious and we really felt like we were in Hawaii. Great location, lovely beaches, glorious Kauai. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful house and cottage with us. This was a dream vacation come true. Patricia is great fun, so helpful and gave us great advice about where to go and what to do- and not do. The house, cottage and property are well maintained and equipped. We loved being here! Now if you can make the loathsome roosters go away life would be perfect. Many thanks, Lori Friedman and Family
