Dear
Keahiloa,
We were
so grateful to have stayed at Pono-Loa. Thank you for sharing
your vacation home with us. The location was perfect for us to visit
with family on the island but also be able to explore on our own.
Kaaawa is a great community in itself, close to great beaches,
parks, north shore destinations such as Sharks Cove, Polynesian
Cultural Center and far from the crowds. It was right where we
wanted to be. The house was comfortable, full of aloha and well
stocked with everything we needed and more. We loved how fast the tradewinds would
cool off the house once we came home and opened the jalousies! And
of course waking up to the roosters' sound was classic Hawaii! We
look forward to our next stay at Pono-Loa!
Much
aloha,

Mahalo
again for everything, we had a great time, the house was impeccable,
we loved Kaaawa. We even got to climb the mountain behind to
check out the view from up there. We will recommend it to
everyone.
Talk to
you soon, Simone

Hi
Keahiloa,
Just
wanted to say "thanks again" one more time! My newlywed wife
and I really enjoyed your beautiful house. It was the perfect
place for us following our wedding. We especially appreciated
the thoughtful welcome gifts of beverages and snacks. Wanted
to also let you know that several of our relatives came to visit and
they plan to call you about renting the house for future vacations.
thank
you again and a "BIG MAHALO" for your gracious hospitality!

Aloha Keahiloa,
Thank
you for allowing us to stay at your wonderful vacation house.
It was exactly what we hoped for. So good to spend time back
home. The experience at your home brought so much aloha spirit
to our family. The location was perfect for us. I forgot
how many wild chickens were on the island... kinda like pigeons on
the mainland. Anyways, waking up to the crowing roosters on
some days brought back some childhood memories.

Aloha Keahiloa,
We loved Pono-Loa!
Our daughter from California and her husband joined us and they
both loved the place too. They said that they would definitely
stay there if they came back to Hawai'i. We couldn't believe
how well everything was stocked - bedding, bathroom supplies,
etc. My husband who loves to cook was really impressed with how
well the kitchen was stocked. The kids had fun with the
snorkeling gear and boogie boards. The only thing that was a
bother was the early crowing of the roosters, but there's not
much you can do about that. We understand completely as they
are all over Hawaii. My son-in-law figured out a quick fix
though... he bought a pair of ear plugs which worked for him.
Again, thank you
for letting us share your lovely home and we hope that things
continue to go well for you.

Aloha Keahiloa,
We have just
returned from a fabulous time on Oahu. I wanted to thank you for
the use of your vacation home, Pono-Loa. With all the amenities
provided it was as comfortable as being at home. It was great
being out of the hustle and bustle of town, but close enough to
be there if we chose to go.
Thank you again for
sharing your piece of paradise with us, Martin and Marilyn

Aloha Keahiloa,
We had a beautiful trip and the
home was just that..a home. Having my family all together after
so many years was such a blessing. Waking up to roosters
proudly crowing, flower essences, and a thousand bird symphony
every morning gives new meaning to the word paradise.

Aloha Keahiloa,
Again, we would like to say thanks for the hospitality. The
house was great, and the location was perfect compared to the
business of other areas on the island. My family had a great
time, and our friends enjoyed the relaxation as well. My
wife enjoyed Ka'a'awa Beach Park the best. It was very calm,
and she and I got to relax while the kids enjoyed the small
ocean pool. The house was the perfect size for our party, and
was very comfortable. The neighbors were friendly and the area
was just breathtaking.

Aloha Keahiloa,
Our vacation
was awesome! The location of your house was perfect. It
was away from the city, but still close to the places we
wanted to go! The house was so nice for the four of us. We
each had our own place to sleep and had time to ourselves.
We did some cooking, so the kitchen and its amenities
were nice to have. The house was in a good area where we
felt safe. The washer and dyer were also well used and very
helpful with keeping the towels clean.
We were able to
do a lot of different things. We went skydiving on our
first day there and that was a blast! Highly recommend Sky
Diving Hawaii on North Shore! We also were able to hit
the Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor, the swap meet, the
jumping rock, Polynesian Cultural Center and Kualoa Ranch.
We were able to go to various beaches and relax
or do some snorkeling... Electric beach is amazing! We went
scuba diving down to the Tiger Shark Wreck off Waikīkī. The
beaches were beautiful and the weather was awesome. One of
the best places we ate ate was right next to Matsumoto's
Shaved Ice place on North Shore. It was a Thai place
and it was delicious! Also Bubba Gump in the WaikīkīMall
was a lot of fun to eat at as well. Thanks so much for
all of your help. Our trip was amazing!

Aloha Keahiloa,
We had a great time and enjoyed the house. We had a lot of
friends rent housing in Hau'ula but I feel we got the better
place. It felt more like home. The kitchen was very well
stocked with equipment. Thank you so much, and if you ever come
to Oregon maybe we could do a house swap!
mahalo, Lehua
