Thank you Bruce and Cathy for sharing your special place with us. We found everything we needed for a relaxing stay on this most gorgeous island. We were very pleased with the location in the complex and loved the privacy of your end unit. Your kitchen was well stocked, we had everything we needed. Our favorite meals were made at home and enjoyed on your lanai while bird watching. The clouds and sunsets were amazing. And the stars at night - WOW!

We took some fabulous tours, spent a lot of time at the beach at the Kiahuna, had a great meal at the Plantation Gardens, and we were out and about every day. It was always so nice to come home to your beautiful place and unwind with a Mai Tai while listening to your Hawaiian CD collection. You have thought of everything! We are hoping to return very soon.

Good Morning Cathy,

I meant to send this earlier, but just wanted to say how much we really enjoyed your condo! everything was perfect. We enjoyed having our coffee and breakfast out on the deck and we absolutely loved sipping away on a glass of wine listening to the Hawaiian music you had. We took your advice and checked out the Cassablanca restaurant! Wow what a hidden gem, and great happy hour. We enjoyed the little extra's as well, the chairs for the beach and the cooler in the closet.

The staff at Kiahuna were great and friendly. We had people move in above us during our stay, they became very loud, I made a phone call and they dealt with the situation right away. We didn't have anymore trouble with them afterwards.

I thank you for your honesty, it was very nice to deal with you. We will recommend your condo to friends and we will definitely be back when we get to Poipu again.

Mahalo!

Kim and Dave

Just wanted to let you know we had a fabulous time in Poipu at your place in Kiahana Plantation. We loved your unit, especially the cleanliness, the wonderful decorating and furniture and the music collection. Other favorite things included the birds singing in the morning and the proximity to the BBQ. I already knew about the chickens and actually found the roosters crowing in the middle of the night kind of funny. Gayle and I were so tired at the end of each day that falling back to sleep in the night was not a problem for either of us. We loved the beach and the snorkeling. We snorkeled at every place recommended in the guide books, but didn't really find anything better than right off the Kiahuna beach. We lucked out with the weather too. The week before we went, there was severe rain and flash floods, especially on the north shore around Hanalei. We kayaked on the Hanalei river and were amazed at the damage to the river banks and the trees knocked down on the banks. Also on the north shore we hiked from Ke'e Beach up the Napili trail to the next beach (can't remember name) and it was very difficult because of the mud. But we made it and it was worth it!

From Port Allen we took a sunset dinner cruise up the Napili coast on the night of our anniversary and really lucked out! The water was very calm with no wind or swells. The captain said he had never seen the sea so calm that late in November. We ran into a group of spinner dolphins, which were fantastic. The sunset was also incredible. We took the luxury cruise on the biggest boat and actually had the entire front of the starboard hull all to ourselves for dinner, like a picnic. An added attraction on the cruise were several naval vessels doing war games farther up the coast.

There is no doubt in our minds we will return next year to Kaua'i. Our son is deploying to Afghanistan next year and we plan to take him there when he returns, along with our daughter. We want to stay for at least two weeks and in all likelihood will spend at least a week in Poipu, so we will be in touch.

Once again thanks for the opportunity to stay at your wonderful place. We enjoyed it immensely.

Have a good Thanksgiving and holiday season.
