Aloha from Kiahuna #191.

After our first week here, we have adjusted to the pace, and are really enjoying our stay. It's a scary thought that we have to pack our bags again, but comforting to know that we have another two weeks! It's a glorious vacation spot.

We are planning to celebrate a significant anniversary later this year, with our children and grandchildren. Our needs would be almost perfectly served by the three units you own here.

How does availability look for Dec. 26, 2012 until Jan. 7, 2013 look in your rental schedule?

I check my e-mail once a day, usually early morning.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Mahalo, Dick and Clara Kouwmehameha (for now).

Dear Gordon,

First of all, let me tell you what a wonderful time my family and I had on "The garden Isle." It really is every bit as lovely as we'd heard. Kiahuna Plantation was a marvellous resort to stay at. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and we loved the grounds. Those long expansive lawns were thoroughly enjoyed by my grandkids and children as well. Better bocci grounds you couldn't ask for! The orchid and cactus gardens were one of my favourite spots. And, as I'm sure you've heard many times, we really liked your condo. Everyone appreciated how well appointed it is (loved the stamps) and the great open expanse of the upstairs. A great view! We really appreciated your leaving the toys for us to enjoy. We didn't use them all, but certainly many.

I'm not sure where we'll decide to go next, but if it's Kauai, I hope we'll be able to stay at your place again. Once I've finished editing my photos I'll send you a few so you can put a face to the name.

Thanks again. It was a great vacation.

Sincerely,
Paul

Hello Gordon,

We had a wonderful time in Kauai, and thank you for providing such a nice place. You have a perfect location at the Plantation. I loved having the water right out the door for going out on morning swims, and my wife loved watching whales from the lawn. Our little one really enjoyed running around the large grassy area, too. We had perfect temperatures and it was a luxury to fall asleep every night to the sounds of the ocean. We cooked most of our meals at the condo and everything in the kitchen worked well. We strolled around Poipu and saw some of the other properties there, but we feel it would be disappointing to stay anywhere else compared to your place.

We kept the screen doors closed as you asked, but I did see a gecko on the kitchen ceiling on our second night. It quickly scampered away and I never saw it again. We brought our own mask, fins, and snorkels so we didn't use the beach gear in the closet, but I did notice a couple if the boogie boards were coming apart and had broken leashes.

We had quite a vacation to remember, and we hope to return again someday.
Mahalo,

Hi Gordon,

I wanted to let you know we had an incredible vacation on Kauai. The condo was fantastic and the weather was great. We'll definitely want to rent again next time we go back.

Thanks again.

Thank you so much for renting the wonderfully comfortable #134 from Feb. 26th to March 6th. It was pertfect for our son and his family. You even had an infant seat that they used for meal times! All the best to you and again our thanks. I am freezing back here in Bellevue, Washington.

Hello Gordon,

We're just back in Boston after a very long day of travel--just a quick note of thanks. We had a wonderful time in your condo and loved every minute of our time in Kauai (especially once the weather cleared up). We look forward very much to our next visit.

all best,
Joe

Feb, 2011

We had six day of (mostly) sunshine; rain on-and-off on our last day as we drove up to Princeville and the botantical garden. But even the rain is beautiful in HI!

New fabric on the living room furniture looks very sharp. It was a wonderful stay -- we miss it already. Thanks for sharing such a special place. We hope to rent again from you in the future.

Warm regards,
Erin and family

Hi Gordon,

The condo worked well for us. Just checking in to let you know we were very satisfied. It would be nice to have a coffee grinder, but not the end of the world. everything was perfect for us.

heading out early in the am for Hilo.

Thanks again for such an easy rental

Hi Gordon.

Just wanted to let you know that my family and I just got home from our wonderful vacation in your three condos. We loved your condos and would love to go back again, possibly next summer. Thank you so much for sharing your places with us. We couldn't have asked for nicer weather, and the ocean was amazing! Just fyi, we bought 4 boogie boards when we first arrived, and left them in the family room closet in unit 191. I am hopeful the cleaning staff will leave them there and your future guests can enjoy them! We ziplined in Princeville, we toured the Na Pali coast in a zodiac and had the rare opportunity to swim with spinner dolphins in the ocean, we boogie boarded until our stomach's hurt from laughing, and the boys all tried surfing. We had a wonderful time with family, in a beautiful place, and for that, we all thank you.

Warm regards,
Judy, Kathy, Barbara and familes.

Gordon,
I wanted to let you know Jackie and I had very enjoyable time (February 20-24, 2010) in unit 134. We first came to the Kiahuna Plantation in the mid 1980’s. It is our favorite place in the world to vacation. We were reminded again how much we like #134. It is somewhat off the beaten path but still close enough to enjoy everything. The accommodations were first rate. The weather was absolutely fabulous which was helpful as we played golf every day. To any of your guests who may be golfers I can personally recommend the Kiahuna Golf Club. The new paspalum greens and fairways were excellent, not to mention Kiahuna GC is a terrific bargain if staying at Kiahuna Plantation. We are veteran golfers and would rate Kiahuna’s greens every bit as good as the paspalum greens at the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.

Thanks again,
Russ & Jackie

Gordon,

Just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks for letting us use your condo #191 at Kiahuna Plantation. We were there from 7/5 to 7/19 (plus 2 more nights in #193) celebrating our 25th anniversary with our 2 daughters. The beach front condo was a surprise to my wife, but we all thoroughly enjoyed the view and the sounds. We spent most of our days either on the lanai or on the beach. It was a very relaxing 16 days.

It reminded me of my childhood and gave my kid’s a little taste of what I had as a kid. My grandparents retired in Laguna Beach in So. Cal. and had a place right on the cliff overlooking the ocean with a short walk down a path to a “private” beach. We’d spend the month of August there every year. It was the best. Being at your place and listening to the waves day and night brought back those memories.

Again, thank you. It made a very special anniversary. When we return to Kauai again, I will be in touch with you to see if #191 is available.

Thanks,
Kip and Renee

Hi Gordon -

Pete and I just want to thank you for all the nice touches here at Kiahuna. We appreciate the small coolers, the hair dryer AND curling iron, the comfortable furnishings ... and we also love the location and tranquility! The weather has been wonderful - typical Kauai summer stuff with lots of beautiful rain showers, rainbows, and sunshine! And the ocean temperatures are fantastic! We are loving our time here in 134 and thank you very much!! Fondly - Sally & Pete Kelly Sent from my iPhone

Hi Gordon,
Just a wee note to tell you how much my son Derek and his family enjoyed your condo. It was much bigger than they expected and just loved staying there. We had two other condos at Kiahuna and the family just loved Kauai. They all want to go back next year. I had a hard time getting them to move off Maui but they all agreed that Kauai was “ the place” and don’t want to go back to Maui. We had perfect weather- no rain and we boogie boarded and snorkeled our way through the week. The Plantation beach was delightful and we enjoyed the luau at the Sheraton( particularly the walking home part!) Thanks again for letting us share your little part of paradise.
Sincerely,
Carol

Gordon
I don’t think we ever wrote back to thank you again for our wonderful stay at your condo, but rest assured we loved it, and it was the perfect home base by which to enjoy and explore Kauai. After being there and looking around at the other places we had looked at online, we were so pleased that we settled on your place, and would love to return again.

I am cc’ing Kashia, one of our great employees, who is getting married soon and is looking for a place to honeymoon…. Of course we thought of you, so we will let you and her continue the discussion. Take care, and thank you again for helping us have an absolutely perfect vacation.

Best to you,
Mark

April, 2009

Thank you Mr. Ward for allowing us to use your condo this last November.It suited our needs perfectly. Kiahuna Plantation & Poipu Beach beach is a glorious area and we have totally fallen in love with Kauai. Here's hoping we can return soon.

Again, Mahalo.

Aloha,

Just got back from our trip. The condo was a delight. I loved looking out at that big expanse of green lawn and palms. A super location!. We had an awesome trip, some rain at first but then it cleared up. You just can't beat that beach at Kiahuna. We saw sea lions, turtles, dolphins and even a killer whale which washed up to the beach across from Breneckes. Thank you for the use of your beautiful condo!

Hi Gordon,

I wanted to tell you that we really enjoyed the condo. We even extended our stay two additional nights in the condo two doors down - even though we had prepaid rooms at the Hyatt on the same nights. We will keep you in mind for future vacations and recommend your condo to others.

We had a wonderful time! the unit was great as we suspected we love the interaction with the people. everything was in order and as usual the Kiahuna was awesome. I hope we can stay in 191 again.

Thank you,

August, 2008

Hi Gordon, we had a wonderful time in 191 and it was the perfect place for us. My sister and her husband were in 196 and then we had 142 and 52 and 152. Being next to the activity shack was perfect for chairs and towels and the grassy area in front of your place off the patio was where we had dinner every night as we used the barbecue quite often. We went out to dinner once to Keokes and then to Roys for my birthday as all the kids took us there. One night we went to Happy Hour at Casablanca and just had pupus and the grandchildren came back to play on the grass as they had so much fun playing soccer, whiffleball, you name it the kids were playing it.

Met so many interesting families at the barbecue and my boys played golf with one fellow we met at the barbeque. By the way our weather was spectacular as it was 85 during the day and 73 at night and it only rained in the middle of the night. surf was great and our 2 older grand children took surfing lessons from the surfing school. they are 7 and 9 years old.

Thanks again for you great place.

I want to thank you for your wonderful piece of paradise….we had a great 2 weeks there on the beach! What a beautiful location….

We will definitely be back to that complex….it was a pleasure for the large group that we traveled with and nice to have the unit right on the beach as a meeting place for everyone.

Thanks again.

Gordon,

I wanted to write you a note to tell you what a great time we had in unit #134 for the week of April 20. I have been to this property before the your unit had the same floor plan as the one we stayed in before. However, the location was ideal. The ocean view and close walking distance to the beach, restaurant, etc. was great.

We also appreciated all the little extras that came from renting from an owner. I enjoyed listening to the slack guitar CD and all the beach amenities were good. I did a puzzle and we played games as well. It was a treat to just sit in the Lanai and read.

I must confess I love the coconut ice cream at the Lapperts in Koloa! We enjoyed a Zodiac raft trip as well as many hikes exploring the island.

Thanks again for sharing your home away from home with us.

Hi Gordon,

We are just recently back from staying in your unit #134 at Kiahuna and had an absolutely fabulous holiday. We have been to Oahu a number of times and this was our first time to Kauai. We fell in love with the Island and would like to come back. It is much more than what I thought.

I read through the comments on your website. Frankly, the emails looked and sounded as if you wrote half of those comments yourself.

Hello Gordon,

We are back from our Hawaii trip and wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying in your Kiahuna condo, unit 134. You have a great location there, with the lanai opening up onto the expanse of lawn. We will definitely keep your unit at the top of our list for our next visit. I think you said you own other units? If so, what number units are they? Is one a 2 bedroom for when we want that again, for when our boys come with us or other family. Thank you again.

Aloha, Gordon,

I’m sure we will return to your condo next year. We do have an interest in knowing what the rates would be for the two-story condo (not the one on the beach), also in February.

Please let me know when you get a chance,

Mahalo,

Pam H.

Mahalo Gordon, for making this condo available.

Our fishing charter on the Maka Hou (Sportfish Hawaii) was excellent. We caught 9 ahi, a wahoo and a mahi mahi. Brought enough back to the condo for a BBQ on the grounds, with mahi mahi and ahi sashimi. That was our favorite dinner. As far as restaurants go, we find Tidepools to be our all-time favorite. Keoki's Paradise had good service and great food, too. Plantation Gardens restaurant was a let down.

As always, our visit to Kauai went to fast and we were sad to go home. Next time we'd like to stay at least 2 weeks.

All our best,
Valerie & Tom

Dear Gordon & Barb

We really enjoyed our 9 days in #191, inspite of the storm. Your place was very clean and nice. The carpet looked new, which was a real plus. Maintenance was always very helpful when we needed something. They came to fix the DVD immediately. Sorry I bothered you first.

Anyway the 2nd half of our stay the weather returned to what I think was normal for that time of year. It was beautiful. Just enough rain so that you don't get too hot; like our Oregon summers.

I am considering returning next November, for 2 weeks before thanksgiving. Do you have any time open then? Let me know and what the price is at that time; more or less than December?

Thanks,
Kathy

December 17th, 2007

Dear Gordon

We had FANTASTIC TRIP at your place - thank you for placing your unit on the rental market! The weather was picture perfect with rain only at nights while we slept. The shutters and screening gave us that wonderful ocean noise to lull us to sleep early every night. The boys boogie boarded non stop and we enjoyed the use of your high quality boogie board immensely!

We met several of your neighbors and found the whole Plantation a delight.

Thanks again,
Camilla and Jeff

Hi Gordon,
Greetings from Kauai. Today is our last morning. So sad to go home. We have had such a wonderful vacation. Your condo is wonderful. So happy we found you.

We would like to book again next year. Please let me know if this unit is availble.

Thanks again. We can't wait to come back.

Hi Gordon,

We are back and got out just as Hurricane Flossie was causing high winds, surf and rain on the big island. However, no problems on Kauai's. In fact, we had one of the nicest vacation we have every had, and it was partly due to your wonderful condos.

Our friends, who were staying in #191, were so happy with the beachfront condo that they decided it was the most beautiful place they had ever stayed on an island. They have never been to any of the Hawaiian Islands but were thoroughly impressed and can't wait to get back. We, of course, know how extraordinary Kauai is, and took full advantage of many outdoor activities. One thing we did this time that we hadn't done before was part of the Kalalau Trail to Hanakapiai Beach - unbelievable views. I have only seen the Na Pali Coast from the water. This was spectacular in its own way.

The time went by far too quickly, but we took lots of pictures to enjoy the memories. Thank you so much for making our stay just that much nicer. We all plan to go over again in about three years (if we can wait that long!), and can't think of a more beautiful, relaxing place to stay than in your condos!

Have a wonderful coming year!

Aloha,
Wendy and Mark

GORDON! That was the BEST vacation I have ever been on. My whole family loved it. We were in HEAVEN!!!

That is the most BEAUTIFUL place in the world. It sure was difficult coming back to muggy Texas, allergies, etc.

How can I ever thank you enough for allowing us to stay in your beautiful condo?? It was like a dream. We are already starting to save our money for another trip. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you,

Hi Gordon,
We just returned from Hawaii early this morning and had such a good time in your beach front unit. We loved it! Thank you so much. We were hoping to book it for next year during the Easter week. The dates are thursday March 20th thru saturday March 29th. Do you even book this far in advance and is the condo available? Let me know. Thanks again Gordon. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Gordon,

Our stay last week in 142 at Kiahuna was wonderful! It is a beautiful resort, and we were so pleased with your bright, spacious unit and found that it was perfectly equipped for our needs.

I hadn’t been on Kaua’i since 1978 when a girlfriend and I hitchhiked and camped our way around the island. Of course it’s much more crowded now, but it is still very lovely and a very relaxing place for a vacation. Many thanks for making your unit available to us – I hope we can do it again sometime!

Best regards,

Hi Gordon...We had a grand stay in #134!

We returned to CA last Thursday night....still trying to adjust to the cold! We had a wonderful time, great weather, some new adventures, and really enjoyed unit 134! We met a couple who are attending a wedding over there next spring...so I showed them your condo and gave them your card....they may be contacting you! Don't know their names, but they are from the Seattle area!

Also..........we have some other friends who we have referred....just sent your website to them.

By the way, how much is the rent on the 2 bedroom?

And..........just fyi..........we stumbled into a wonderful lunch in Hanapepe at a little place whose name escapes me..........something like Hanapepe Grill. I will think of it and send. Really terrific food! They also serve dinner. And we had another wonderful lunch at the Lighthouse Grill in Kilauea, after checking out the Lighthouse.

So................Thanks again and Happy Holidays to you and your clan!

Hi Gordon,

Well we have arrived back in California after an incredible trip to Hawaii. We could not have asked for a beter location than #191. It was the perfect way to fall asleep each night and wake up each morning to the sounds of crashing waves. Our son loved the surf in front of the condo, surfing, boogie boarding and swimming.

I am so glad Mary B. referred us to your condos. We hope to return quite a few times for our vacations in Kauai.

Best regards,

Dear Gordon, we just returned from Kiahuna and had a wonderful time. It was such a thrill to stay in a two bedroom unit - something we have always wanted to do. We thorougly enjoyed the space and the quiet. Thank you so much for sharing your Kauai home with us and for arranging our first night's stay.

Gordon:

We returned on Sunday from our awesome trip to Kauai. It was hard for us to find the incentive to want to come home. We can not tell you how incredible it was staying at the Kiahuna Plantation. We loved the spaciousness and warm comfort of your condo. The geckos kept us company every night and were such a thrill for us! The staff at Kiahuna went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to assist us with whatever help we needed as far as sightseeing plans, arrangements, housekeeping, etc.

Thank you for the tips you gave us before hand re: where to shop for groceries, the luau (Sheraton luau was incredible!), etc. They were a big help.

We are already talking about when we can go back to the Kiahuna Plantation.

Mahalo,

We avoided snow back home! 191 has the best spot in the complex. We visited other places, including the magnificient Hyatt complex, but none came close to your place, Gordon. The lanai, lawns, beach, and beauty combined to force us to relax for a change! We plan to return, as soon as we finish exploring the rest of our beautiful planet. We will depart for Oahu this afternoon; home late Wed night. We will savor many fond memries of Hawaii-- especially, Kauai & number 191!

Hi Gordon,
Just wanted to send you a short note and let you know how much we loved your unit!!! It was so wonderful to be so close to the ocean. I guess there is no turning back now. I told my husband that I could not imagine staying in any other location!

Thanks so much. We thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving in Kauai.

Hi Gordon,
Just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year and express our thanks for making your condo (191) at Kiahuna Plantation available to us again last fall. Kauai is our favorite island and the location of your condo is a big part of the wonderful experiences we have had. We hope to get back there every year or two.

Best wishes and Mahalo,

Hi Gordon! I just wanted to let you know that we are back and that we had a WONDERFUL time at your condo. The location was just perfect. We had great weather- all in all, it was fabulous. Thanks for renting to us!

We are trying to figure out next year's vacation plans. Going back to the Kiahuna is at the top of our list for next xmas/new years. Would you consider giving us right of first refusal on the dates from Dec 22 to Jan 1st? I'm not sure when school gets out for winter break next year, but I should be able to find out in the next month or so. Then I would be able to narrow it down to specific dates. If you could do that, we'd really appreciate it!

Happy new year and thanks again!

Ward Family,
What a great treasure. We enjoyed every bit of the island. Snorkeling at tunnels was great! Looking down at Queen’s Bathe beautiful (to rough to godown and in) Annini Beach is awesome. (If anyone golfs don’t miss the Prince Course) Especially liked the family art on the walls. We’ll definitely recommend #191 to others. Almost felt sorry for the people staying up near the highway. (not) We even caught a lightning storm on our last night.
Mahalo!!!

The ultralight flight with Ultralight Adventures was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had! That flight is definitely my #1 experience here - I highly recommend it! I’ll truly miss this place - we’re in for a culture shock when we arrive in Waikiki today. #191 has been everything wee hoped it would be!

P.S. Check out the fruit stand on Poipu Rd! Great snorkeling to be had right outside! Smoothies made fromfresh fruit--mmm! & LappertsVanilla Bean! The sunrise run to Spouting Horn is great (about 3 miles one way) The beach House has excellant views of sunset. Wear sunscreen!

Subject: 142, 134, 191

Gordon, These numbers will long be associated with great pleasure and family joy. Sorry for the belated response (we left a few notes in the guest books), but we had a wonderful time. Your units are terrific. 142 was the perfect center for family gathering and meals and games. 134 was a quiet exquisitely decorated getaway for my wife and me (with fascinating paintings on the walls); and 191 was as you predicted a perfect ending with beautiful view and lulling waves sounding through the night. One or more of the group, crammed just about as much as one could into the six days: snorkeling at Poipu, swimming everyday in the soft sanding beach at Poipu, surfboarding, hiking in Waimea canyon, catamaran sailing out of Port Allen with additional snorkeling, horseback riding, Fern Grotto boat trip, beachwalks on the Northeast coast, etc. Also the warm weather was a healthy balm for my 86 year old mother-in-law who flew in from 15 degree weather in Ohio and who had never before been out of the continental USA.

Thanks again. We hope to return.

Dick and Margaret

Dear Gordon:

We are home (and back to work) after a great week in your condo. We loved the place and certainly enjoyed ourselves. Kiahuna Plantation is an absolutely a delightful place to vacation - beautiful beaches, centrally located, lovely grounds and many other fabulous amenities. We did get in a couple of fabulous hikes. I laughed at the entries in your guest books for their continued use of the word "paradise" in almost every entry. However looking back, I can't find any word that better describes Kauai and Unit 191 than "PARADISE"!!

Thanks so much.

Sincerely,
Pookie and Jim

Gordon,

This is to thank you for the opportunity to stay at your unit (#191) at Kiahuna Plantation (1/31/05 – 2/7/05). Janis and I really enjoyed our visit, and of course, the property was everything that we hoped it would be. The first few days of our stay were quite rainy, but it didn’t dampen our spirits at all. It is a remarkable location on a remarkable island.

Thanks again for the opportunity. This may need to become an annual adventure for us.

Gordon I wanted to thank you again for 191. This year was even better than last. My wife’s parents really enjoyed 196, thanks for the contact. I have a friend that would like 191 the end of February. How about 24-28?

Thanks JD

Dear Gordon:

We arrived back in Napa on Tuesday night after a wonderful week in unit #142! We just want to thank you so much for opening your home to our family. Kauai is more beautiful than anyone could ever imagine from just seeing photos -- you just have to experience it first hand!

The beach at Kiahuna is absolutely gorgeous. We loved everything there, from the accomodations, the weather, the lush plantation grounds, the restaurants, shopping, spectacular views, to the quiet moments of reflection enjoyed during early morning walks on the beach. God has certainly created a beautiful world for us to enjoy and we are grateful for your willingness to share it with many families. We made a lifetime of memories and hope to be able to return in the near future.

Warm regards,
Linda and Richard

8/28/04

Gordon - I put a check in the mail today for $350.00 to hold our reservation for next year. We had an excellent trip...the weather was great. Had a couple of days of "really big" ocean waves. I had never seen it like that before. I'm sure the surfers were happy. Lots of sea turtles in close to shore those two days too...don't know if that had anything to do with it. The grounds at Kiahuna were spectacular.

Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up that I had mailed the deposit...Thanks, Candy

7/20/04

While there our weather was perfect, though the islanders were saying it was cool?? We did not think that 70's to low 80's was cool. We have now been spoiled and I don't think we could ever go back to Oahu or Maui. Kauai is truly a paradise. We were busy the entire time and managed to explore a good part of the island, but we also know we saved alot for our next visit.

Mahalo once again,
Susan
