Testimonials


This place is extraordinary – we don’t have a single complaint (If you knew us you’d know how unusual that is!), except we wish we didn’t have to leave. Thank goodness we’ve been to this area before, because after arriving here we saw no reason to go anywhere besides the lanai for sunset and dinner, the beach for snorkeling and the market for food…. Well, we did drive to North Kohalo one afternoon. We hope we can return.

Mahalo,

Despite the fact that we are quite spoilt where accommodations are concerned, entering your place put quite a smile on our faces.

Both the view and the beautiful sunsets will very much stay in our minds and help us to get through the dreaded winter months back home.

The other day we were busy leafing through real estate booklets. They certainly didn’t have the background or were any better looking than your place.

Any more compliments?

Our visit has been wonderful & we attribute much of that to staying here. The accommodations are top notch. Even more is having both of you along as tour guides and friends.

Thank you for sharing the fabulous fish! We can’t get that kind of service in a hotel.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family. This was our sons first Ironman World Championship and we couldn’t have stayed at a more beautiful place. Hopefully we will return someday. 

We had a great time snorkeling across the street and we saw beautiful fish and many turtles.

Mahalo for your hospitality for our entire stay here at Kahaluu Beach Holmes.

The location is terrific and the whole family enjoyed our stay and appreciated all the small details that made our stay wonderful and truly memorable.

There was more than enough room for all of us and we really appreciate the fact that you make us feel like family (Ohana!).

We will definitely recommend your lovely home to the rest of our family and friends who intend to visit this beautiful island.

Aloha & Mahalo!

It’s so difficult to leave this amazing sunset! Wish we could stay longer. The house lived up to our expectations and then some! We hope to come back soon! Our memories are full of beautiful fish and snorkeling.

Bob - thanks for all your suggestions.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful Hawaiian home. We had a wonderful time enjoying the Island and loved coming back here to take in the great view from the lanai.

We especially liked snorkeling at Honaunau and visiting the coffee plantations. The location here in Kahaluu is incredible as well. Our day trip to Pololu Beach will be memorable for life. I hope my brother can bring his daughters here to snorkel across the road in the beach park. They will love it!

What a fabulous holiday experience!! Thank you for all your great hospitality. Your place
there is so spacious and the view is incredible! Location…perfect! What a find.

All the way from Alberta, Manitoba Canada and loving it. We left minus 45 f with wind
chill to this 75 - 95 f is truly heavenly. Thanks again for being such gracious hosts and
making our first experience to Hawaii so fantastic.

Thank you so much for all the Aloha.The only difficult thing about staying here is forcing
ourselves to leave. This is a magical place filled with the feeling of old Hawaii but all the comforts
of new.

Thank you so much!! We had the best time ever. You have a fabulous view from the
top deck, the best snorkeling on the island (in fact, many islands) right across the street.
We checked out an A+ rated area – not even close to Kahaluu Beach Holmes.
 
You have a beautiful golf course just down the road - South. Shopping is just a minute
away - North and yet away from the crowds. Took a whale watching cruise. We saw a
few breaching but the best was see a calf just after it was born and watching what the
mother goes through to get her baby to breath within 45 seconds. Awesome!!! Why after
a great fun day would you want to leave this house? Breakfast just a walk across the street.
 
The owner lives on the bottom floor which makes the place very safe plus they have great
ideas on were to go to have fun.

Thank you again from,

We have enjoyed our stay here at Kahaluu Beach Holmes! Your warm hospitality made
us feel right at home. We appreciate all the advice you gave us on what to go see. Our
trip yesterday up to Hawi and then on to see the Pololu Valley was a highlight of our
vacation. We had a delicious lunch in Hawi at the “Bamboo” with sadness we leave today.

The good news we all have wonderful memories that we shared here and will make plans
to get back here again.
 
Thank you for all you did to make our vacation to best! Happy New Year 2007.

Mahalo for your warm hospitality and kindness! Your suggestions were great – lunch
at the Kona Inn right on the beach was lovely and parking at the free lot in the
Farmer’s Market so convenient. The Fair Winds Snorkeling trip to Kealakekua Bay was
the best trip. Lots of time, tons of colorful fish, good food & friendly, helpful crew. But
the snorkeling off Kahaluu Beach was truly amazing! We saw a dozen sea turtles our
first time. The difficulty was staying the required 10 – 15 feet away. Also, so many
different fish.

We spent a day at the volcanoes (take lots of water, rain gear, long pants, sturdy shoes,
and make sure you fill the gas tank). Watched a glorious sunset, then hiked out to see
the glow of lava at night – don’t forget a good flashlight and batteries. The show at The Sheraton Keauhou is a super luau.

Happy New Year!

How Wonderful! The view is exquisite – so unbelievable! Thank you for your kindness,
and your knowledge. It helped us make an unforgettable vacation. We are hoping to
come back and we will let all know of this total awesome experience.

We can’t thank you enough for having such a beautiful place in paradise! With only a few steps down the driveway and across the street to the best snorkeling you could ask for.
The fish are beautiful; we love the turtles, so many things to see under the water as well
as above.

Our overnight fishing trip was a Huge blast! To find the best beaches and the best
places to go, always ask the locals. The farmer’s market places are fun places to shop
for friends and family. You can find something for everyone. Even if you did nothing, sat
on the lanai and enjoyed the breathtaking view from this beautiful home, it would still
be a vacation of a lifetime.

Memories we will never forget!

This place is Awesome! The view from the top floor is spectacular - we sure will
miss it! Snorkeling was great – we took in a scuba dive as well but I think we saw
as much right across the street!!

Our trips to the other parts of the Island (volcano and hiking) were memorable but
we’ll remember the fantastic views and relaxing on the lanai most. We saw whales
right from the lanai and it’s entertaining to observe the surfers.

This is a fantastic place and I only wish we could stay longer. We definitely plan
to be back and we will recommend your place to our friends.

Aloha and Best Wishes,
