Aloha!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was amazing! We had a wonderful time. Our favorite beaches are Tunnels Beach, Hanalei Bay, Lydgate Park, and the beach in front of the Sheraton. We had a great Luau at the Sheraton and highly recommend it. The Kauai Sea Tours 5 hr Catamaran tour was incredible - we definitely had a great time watching dolphins, touring Napali Coast and swimming with Sea Turtles and the lunch and breakfast were great. Puka Dog was the best hot dog and the Beach House was a wonderful end to our perfect vacation. The condo was great and we enjoyed watching surfers every evening. We will definitely be back to #115. We had a fantastic honeymoon!

Aloha and Mahalo for the great time here at your Kuhio Shores paradise #115.
We had a wonderful #30 here but need another month or two! We'll weigh in on a few can't misses as we picked up some good tips from this log too! Check Out -
Waimea Canyon - great hike (2 hr) to Waipo'o Falls. Views along the way are incredible. park at spot between mile 14 & 15 for trailhead.
Polihale Beach - make a day of it. Pack a lunch don't worry about the unpaved road, it's navigatable. NaPali is your backdrop. Stop at JoJo's for shaved ice just to watch them write your order on a tiny piece of paper.
Dine at Pomodoro or Brick Pizza on way home. In poipu take the road till it ends at Mahaulepu Beach - pristine and wild - hike around. Kulau Trail is another awesome hike with incredible views. Park at the river and walk back to the trail head. Don't miss the rainbow evealyptus trees on the other side of the bridge.

Aloha Jack & Dorinda -

Leaving tomorrow and totally bummed out! Thanks for sharing your condo with us for the past 2 weeks. During this time we covered alot of territory and without a doubt, we think you have the best spot on the island. This two week vacation will definitely go at the top of our "Best Vacation" list. The comfy bed, great kitchen utinsels, beach gear, and incredibly beautiful location all made for a wonderful vacation in paradise. We are already planning a trip back and can't wait.

Dear Jack & Dorinda

We don't know how to begin to describe our trip and your awesome condo except to say WOW!
We covered every corner of the island while we were here and never saw a spot we'd trade for Kuhio Shores. What a view! Your condo now feels like our home and we hate to be leaving it.
We look forward to our next visit and will certainly stay at your lovely condo again!
This was a perfect way to spend our 25th anniversary!

Thank You,
Robert & Christy Tharp
Piedmont, Oklahoma
P.S. We say a pod of dolphins go by several mornings (715AM - 8:30AM). Also saw a seal at beach house in the mornng. Try the garlic shrimp from the shrimp truck by the road - very good.

5-20-08 to 5-26-08

Dear Jack & Dorinda

The condominium was all you said it would be and more. We had every amenity in the kitchen we could want (your cookware is great) and the proximity to the ocean meant that we could have our meals on the lanai and "feel" like we were at the beach!
Thank you again for a most enjoyable experience we will not soon forget!

Dear Jack & Dorinda

We felt your presence every day in our 10 day visit, your warm hospitality showing itself in some many different ways. This was our 6th visit to the Garden Isle in 32 years and the most pleasant since we first visited Kauai at the Coco Palms.
Thank you so much for a most memorable vacation. We hope to return again in the near future.

Aloha Jack & Dorinda

What a treat! Such a lovely condo at such a great location. On March 30th we were frantically searching for airplane tickets - yes, we were among the many who held Aloha Air tickets that were no longer valid. Hawaiian Airlines came through and hopefully our credit card company will obtain reimbursement for us. As we have been to Kauai several times before this was just a restful vacation for us. We enjoyed watching the whales, turtles, birds and people. We had rough seas for several days so it was fun watching the surfers waiting for that perfect wave to ride in on. Our favorite place to eat was "Casa di Amici". The menu was wonderful and you have a choice of regular or "lite" portions.
Thank you for sharing your Hawaiian home.

Aloha Jack & Dorinda

We came to Kauai to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary. We have had many "honeymoons" over all these years but we have to say this was one of our best. We were so comfortable in your condominium. The view is "breath-taking" from your lanai. Your home was very comfortable and everything we needed was there. Kauai is a beautiful island and we were ale to tour the whole place.
We thank you so mch for sharing your beautiful homw with us.

Sincerely,
John & Barbara McKenzie

Aloha,

I am writing on the last evening of our trip. We are going to the Beach House tonight to celebrate my birthday today. Right now we are on the lanai watching turtles as we have every evening.
This was a trip of firsts for us both - first time in Hawaii, first time snorkeling (we loved it), first time seeing a whale (out front), first time in a helicopter (Air Kauai was great!), first time ziplining (Princeville Ranch on the North Shore - very, very fun), bought our first real piece of art - right in Koloa, first time leaving our 3 girls (that part was hard). We also spent a lot of time relaxing in front of the ocean and you truly have a slice of paradise here. It is our 15th anniversary, ad this is the honeymoon we never had. Mahalo for letting us share your beautiful place here at Kuhio Shores. We will definately recommend it to our friends!

Aloha;

This trip was more tha I could have ever imagined. It was hard to leave the peacefullness of the condo. Saw turtles and whale, taking us out onto the lanai.
The helicopter ride was great. Wonderful, clear day. Well worth it ($).
The drive to the end of the east side was beautiful. If you want to have an early dinner at the Beach House (next door) make reservations ASAP.
Roy's was very nice (spendy), fine dining. Well worth it..

Thank you so much jack and Dorinda!

Aloha, Jack & Dorinda!

And mahalo for the use of your lovely condo! We are here on our honeymoon and, as it was our first trip to the islands, realized we had chosen a paradise.
At first, we only wanted to relax on the lanai and watch the turtles and whales - we saw lots of both!! As the week wore on, we ventured out more to see the sights, and we're so glad we did! Wailua Falls, Waimea Canyon, Spouting Horn, the surfers on the North Shore ... all were spectacular. The Beach House, both restaurant and beach (for snorkeling) were perfect, as was JoJo's shaved ice!
Coming back to this comfortable, homey condo was the perfect ending to each perfect day. Hopefully, we'll make it back for our first anniversary!

Thanks Again!!

Jack & Dorinda-

What a great place to stay. The beautiful ocean, turtles, and watching the surfers. Scuba diving, snorkling, golf, ziplining, kayaking, hiking, Napali coast. We did it all and hope to come back next year for more! We love this island and really enjoyed your condo. Thanks!

P.S. Oh ... and the sunsets! Way Beautiful

Aug 7-10

Aloha Jack & Dorinda!

This condo is beautiful! We loved waking up to the sounds of crashing waves, snorkeling with the fish, turtles and people and watching the beautiful sunset.
This condo is perfectly located, neat and we enjoyed this section of our honeymoon very much!
We saw and visited many beaches and sites (too much to write) so THANKS!

A beautiful place to spend our 30th anniversary! Everything was more than we could have expected. Thank you for sharing this fantastic condo on the ocean.

Patty & Wayne Deaton

Thanks Jack & Dorinda,

This was an amazing start to our honeymoon! We loved having breakfast every morning right in front of the ocean. We also enjoyed snorkeling at Poipu Beach, hiking at Mahalepu beaches, Waimea Canyon, dinner at Tidepools, and Keoki's Paradise, and just relaxing! We definately want to come back again!

Thank You!

Aloha Jack & Dorinda!

What an amazing Honeymoon this has been. Your condo is wonderful and made us feel at home. This place is amazing. We will be coming back for sure!! We really enjoyed relaxing here and watching the Surfers and turtles. We also enjoyed snorkeling right next to the Beach House restaurant. There were 2 Monk Seals there most of the time. We also enjoyed Spouting Horn, the Tropical Botanical Gardens and a Luau at the Grand Hyatt. We really don't want to leave ...

Aloha Dorinda and Jack!!

I'll always remember this week at your condo as one of the best weeks of my life! The hominess of your home and the relaxed atmosphere of this area are amazingly wonderful. If anyone asked me what's my idea of heaven on earth, I'd have to say staying at your condo in Kauai comes pretty close. We had a great and relaxing time. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.

Renee & Skip
P.S. We loved walking to the Beach House for dinner. I also loved climbing on the rocks late afternoon to get close to the sea turtles (drew picture of turtle). They are so amazing and right in front of your condo.
P.S.S. Puka Dog is Pai Pu Village is fabulous. A hot dog like you've never had before!!

June 30 - July 7 2007

Incredible Room!

Ditto on all that was said by previous tenants...
Don't miss the small Savage Shrimp truck just up the road for amazing garlic shrimp, local and fresh. And the Fish House in Kiluhea up toward North Shore has the best plate lunch I've ever had in Oahu, Maui or Kauai! The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook is the best guide for hidden gems, beaches, hikes ...
Oh and at the end of the road if you explore a few blocks from here, past baby beach, are steps down to a great turtle/Honu viewing area.

Enjoy!

June 27 - June 30, 2007

What a wonderful vacation and what a magnificent condo you have!!
We spent hours relaxing and watched the surfers and the sea turtles! They seem to like to be in the surf at high tide. We went to Big Save in Koloa and bought breakfast items, drinks, and snacks so we could just enjoy the amazing views. We just want to savor every moment that we spent at your fabulous condo! We only wish that we had a few more days here but we feel fortunate that we got to stay here at all since it was short notice.
Last year we had an ocean view room at the Sheraton and thought your condo wouldn't be able to top that but it has!! Your condo surpassed all our expectations! We will definately be back when the opportunity arises!
We saved our sightseeing for the next few days when we're back at the Sheraton (since someone else is arriving here today). We're going to the Alerton Gardens and maybe on a Napali Sunset Cruise. I enjoyed reading suggestions from others. We had drinks and appetizers at the Beach House, went to Keoki's Paradise, and enjoyed the free Tahetian show (Friday at 7:30 at the Poipu Shopping Center in summer). We loved snorkeling right at Lawai Beach.
Thank you for making our stay so perfect and memorable!

Dear Jack & Dorinda,

We've had an absolutely marvelous time here on Kauai in large part thanks to you! We couldn't have been more comfortable - all our needs provided for - even the beach gear, coffee, snacks and Kauai books added to the hospitable comfort of your lovely condo. And the view ... breathtaking!
We've been entertained by surfing, sea turtles, and humans each day, while enjoying lovely sunsets each evening. And the stars! They sparkle overhead and all the way to the horizon - even shooting stars which we never see from the suburbs anymore.
Other than "chillin" on your patio, our favorite things included snorkeling at Poipu Beach, Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour and Blue Dolphin 5 1/2 hour snorkel cruise up the Napali Coast. Dinners at Roys and Keokis at Poipu Shopping Village were great but I'd avoid Poipu Tropical Burgers there. We're looking forward to our dinner at Beach House tonight, sadly, our last night here. Oh, Spouting Horn and National Botanical Grdens up the road were also superb ... took lots of pictures.
Thanks again for sharing this piece of paradise with us!

Blessings,

Aloha Jack & Dorinda and All Future 115 visitors!

What a vacation. Where to start. From the moment we walked through your front door and saw the waves crashing, we knew we were in for a treat! This place is wonderful - especially the lanai and sea turtles. Everything we could have needed/wanted was here. And this place made our stay on the South Shore of Kauai excellent.
My husband and I are sad that our stay on Kauai is coming to an end. This island was our favorite (over Maui) during our !Honeymoon!
We especially loved:

• All the sights and sounds hiking to Hanakapiai Falls on the NaPali Coast and on the Canyon Trail in Waimea Canyon.
• Our beautiful tour of Na Aina Kai Botanical Gardens in Kilauea (saw a cane spider - aahh! :)
• Marveling at all the glorious fish and a monk seal - at Tunnels and Lawai Beach (mountain biking in Wailua was crazy!)
• Dinner at the Beach House (Yum!), Roys and The Hanalei Dolphin.

Aloha,

Unfortunately, we are leaving tomorrow after spending a week at your great condo. The view and the adjacent beach are beautiful. We chose Kauai for our honeymoon and could not have made a better choice. We love the people, the beauty, the activities and the food. We are already planning, "when can we come back?". The laid-back atmospere here is great. Yday my husband caught a 365 lb. Blue Marlin while out with "Explore Kauai Sportfishing"! We have had a very memorable trip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cond with us.

Mahalo!

- Kauai - one visit is not enough - the fauna, the landscape, the diving, snorkeling, the people, the food, the unique place - all means a first visit can only be a sampler.
The apartment could not be better placed, the view is stupendous.

Thank you

April 17 to April 30, 2007

Aloha Jack & Dorinda!

Well, we are nearing the end of our 13 night stay and it has gone fast! We didn't kick back too much. I kept us active with sightseeing and activities. Up early most morns, to bed early most nights. We ate out some and cooked in some. We found the condo perfect for our stay! What a location! Asesome. We had mostly good experiences eating out. Our favorite - Waimea Brewing Co., The Pizetta in Koloa Town and Keoki's Paradise.
Kauai has had different affects on my husband and myself! It has relaxed Joe and he wants to crash and eat all the time and has energized and excited myself and I want to go all day sightseeing and do activities and then pass out in bed at night! We did a lot and it's hard to pick our favorites; it was all beyond our expectations. We toured the Alerton Gardens (had an amazing tour guide Al), toured the Hindu Monestary (very peaceful education. Beautifyl - they have limited tours each MTH). The Lighthouse and bird sanctuary in North Shore, Snorkeling next door at Lawai Beach (and the Monk seals beach), Waimea Canyon (the view and the quiet looking over the canyon), visiting the coffee plantation (just beautiful there), the Smith Luau was fun, walking the Hyatt grounds, and as a lot of folks say, the best things in Kauai are free. So true - just being here and soaking up the place. I'll miss the roosters, hens, and peeps and the friendly birds and Hawaiian Cardinals. The flowers and plants and trees. We took lots of pics and videos so we will remember with them!

Have a great time future renters!

Dorinda and Jack,

WOW!!! What a great place to get away from what seems to have been the longest winter with so much snow!!! We really enjoyed our first trip to Kauai and had fun each day exploring new beaches (Larsen's, Secret and Polihale) to hiking the nu'olola Trail in Waimea Canyon. We also really enjoyed the condo with the awesome sunsets and watching the surfers and turtles. It will be a trip we will always cherish.

Mahalo :)

Jack & Dorinda,

Thank you for sharing your little part of paradise! The condo is wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
This was our first trip to Kauai - we spent a lot of time outdoors, hiking, snorkeling, taking in the sun, etc. Your condo was a wonderful place to come back to at the end of the day. Many evenings we cooked supper here or picked something up and ate it here. Where on the island can you find a more beautiful view?!
Again, thanks for sharing your condo and making our 25th anniversary special!

Thanks,
Andrea & Terry
Greenielty, SC
P.S. The day we hung out here and rested we watched the surfers surfing, the whales frolicing, the dolphins spinning and the turtles ... well, whatever turtles do. The Beach House was wonderful! Red Hot Mamas had great burritos!

3-19 thru 3/23

What a wonderful escpe from Denver chaos and snow, snow, snow! My dedication to getting up early and watching the 7am surfers is only surpassed by their dedication to getting up early and performing for me! You were so right. This is the place to be and thoroughly enjoyed our 30th anniversary "alone". Met the sweet visiting turtle family. Hope we can return one day to your little hideaway!

Thanks again for everything!

June 21 /06 says it all for us. We took our Harter Heli ride in spite of 2 crashes last week, so great!
Notables -

• Green flash at sunset first night here.
• Pule okila lookout on clean day.
• Tight-To-Shore turtle convention this week.
• Politeness - both road and path.
• NTB garden tour.
• Only one stormy day in 10.
• Monchong.
• Fresh Pineapple sliced at Koloa Big Save!
• Always finding a parking space.
• Since we bought the umbrella, hardly a drop of rain on us, anyway donated to the condo.
• Kee beach at the very North end past Princeville .. to die for!
• Just sitting on the lanai any time of day to watch the action of Kauai world.
• Saw a surfer carrying a girl on his shoulders. She was posing like an acrobat. Another on a Long Board using a pole to paddle while standing up. Amazing human feats.

Need another memory book - this one tries one's patience and writing skills. Lovely to look at, hardly pragmatic.

The passing pods of whales were awesome!

This condo is furnished with stylish furniture and decor. There is no better place - condo or otherwise!

This was our first trip to Hawaii and felt we were very fortunate to have chosen this island and this condo. We did a lot and it was all wonderful - Hindu Monastery, NaPali, Explorer II boat trip, Blue Hawaii helicopter tour, Botanical Gardens, Smith Family Luau.
We need another week so we can kick back and do nothing. Our favorite restaurant was the Beach House. Snorkeling at the Beach House beach was awesome. Everyone - just have fun.

Aloha Jack & Dorinda,

It is 1 week into our vacation and I just want to thank you a million times for sharing this beautiful condo. We are having a blast. Right now I am laying out by the ocean and thinking I am in heaven.
This is our 3rd trip to Kauai with my big family. This time my husband and I wanted a place of our own. Everyone else is jealous.
So far we have hiked and enjoyed the Kalalau Trail. That was an adventure. Went horseback riding in Princeville. Golfing, snorkling, sight seeing, kayaking, etc. Whale watching tour is tomorrow.
My dad has been certified as a Monk Seal protector. He ropes them off when they beach on shore. Right now he is off to the left bay roping one off with his SPZ's (Seal Protective Zone).
We re definately coming back here again.

Thanks again,

Dear Jack & Dorinda -

You own a little piece of paradise!! We arrived here from Maui and after being here for a day wished we had spent less time there and more time here!
Your condo is lovely - tastefully furnished and decorated. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed!
We really enjoyed snorkeling in the bay next door - next to the Beach House restaurant - so many fish. We also loved eating breakfast on the lanai and watching the whales and surfers put on a morning show.
Our time here was too short but we hope to return.
