This is the REAL Deal!

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at [the Sunset Home]. Everything was awesome. The beds were very comfortable and all of them had extra pillows. Two of our teenage boys were too big to share a bed so in the closet was a fold-a-bed for him to use with additional pillows and blankets.
The pool and hot tub were great. We were asked to cover the pool up every night to keep the heat in and it worked great. The cover is on a pull string and two of us were able to do that every night in less than 30 seconds. There was also an abundance of beach towels for us to use. We would not have had to bring any.
The kitchen was well stocked. The best part about your house were all the little things that we didn't realize came with it. Boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach mats, beach towels, coolers. Everything was wonderful! We had six teenagers with us who approved of everything so you can be assured it really was great!! Thanks Again!! Sally Hoffmaster - Secretary, Baker Elementary -- Hopkins MI, Apr 08

The little touches you provided create a full package for this beautiful, comfortable, and well-equipped home. When we first pulled under the carport, our first thoughts were "WOW!". Our only problem was that it makes it hard to leave! -- Bill, Cathy, and Melissa M., Calgary Canada Apr. 08

Your home was something very special for us! Its an incredible place in a wonderful location to explore the island from, and a place from everyday life to escape to. We won't say goodbye, but "Auf Wiedersehen", which, like "Aloha", means we hope we will meet again soon! -- Martin and Gabi K., Saxony, Germany Aug. 08

What a lovely place to stay ! My family was able to relax and enjoy !- even the little ones ! -- Charles and Mollie G., Victoria, BC, Canada Sept. 08

[The Sunset Home] was relaxing, comfortable, and we simply dont want to go home! A Hotel could never ever come up to this. Your gardens are simply breathtaking, and the pictures we took will help us remember - your warm tropical paradise - when the snow is blowing this winter ! -- Charles and Leslie C., Cerre Gordo, IL Sept. 08

With our late night arrival, we could hardly wait for morning to get the full effect. It was breathtaking ! Mahalo many times over ! -- Norma, Tracy, and Jean N. , San Diego Sept. 08

We were very impressed with Sunset Pool Home. As you know from our previous emails, we brought four guests from Germany with us. This was their first visit to Hawaii and we wanted everything to be perfect. And, it was! Sunset Pool Home is roomy, comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen is more than adequately stocked with dishwear, cookwear, cleaning supplies etc. The four bedrooms and two bathrooms are equally well supplied with towels and linens. We used the wonderful pool and hot tub every day. There are plenty of beach towels, chairs, ice chests, swim gear and beach toys in the closet for guests to use. In short, we couldn't of asked for anything more.
-- Mahalo, Barbara & Darrell H., Roseville CA, July/Aug. 08

We came in late Sunday night after a long flight. From the very moment we saw the place, we knew it was going to be wonderful! Only we didn't know how much you two were going to add to that! Every effort you made for my family was greatly appreciated & that is such an understatement. The Palmisano Family, Victoria and CA. Nov/Dec 08

The house and grounds are wonderful- our own little paradise!! You went above and beyond the call of duty with all the Christmas decorations for the little ones, (the big ones loved it too!) Your expertise about where to go and what to see made us feel so special. We had a great time! Bowman Family, Kobe, Japan & The Brusdas, Indiana Dec '08

You have captured the epoch of hospitality, joy, and heartfelt spirit of Aloha. We leave relaxed and nurtured, and are planning our return next year. I hope all that visit this Ohana appreciate the true meaning of the word. The home and the ability to stay here is a rare treasure! Quinn and Donais group, Portland, OR. Jan / Feb, '09

We had a wonderful time as usual in Kona! Everything was PERFECT, due in large part to your wonderful home- definitely the best place we've ever stayed in! Thanks so much for your incredible warmth and hospitality. Repeta Family, Feb, '09

We had a fantastic week here in Kona and especially at this house! You are GREAT hosts : ) All the extras were great and rare in a rental. Thanks, Mahalo, and Aloha! Sauermilch and Ellsworth group, March, '09

From the moment we stepped into the house, we immediately felt a great sense of relaxation and comfort. The kitchen was well stocked. The bathrooms were clean. The beds were comfortable. The pool and hot tub were inviting. But our favorite feature of the house got to be the lanai, where we had our "little luau" every evening, while watching the spectacular sunset. Thank you so much for sharing your piece of paradise with us. We really appreciate your hospitality, attentiveness, and kindness. You have thought of everything (and more) to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. We felt pampered. The Nguyen family and Huynh family, Oakland, CA. July'09

We stayed here last January and had a great time. We're planning another vacation to Kona, and are definitly staying there again too! The lanai was the best, it is shaded and faces the pool and the views, and it is real large. We spent alot of time there, and never even ate at the inside dining table once! (Though, it was beautiful!)We always wanted to be outside on the lanai or by the pool. There were 5 of us, and the bedrooms and beds were all great too. The bedrooms looked like a magazine cover when we arrived, beautiful! We liked where it was located too. Everything was just a few minute drive, and we were away from the downtown area so it was a good neighborhood. The house was THE BEST supplied home we have ever stayed at! We sure hope it is available when we come back!

From the moment we started communicating, to our arrival at your beautiful home, this has been an incredible experience for our family. You have added so much to our memories of Kona. Your kind thoughtful touches, and special treats to all of us are greatly appreciated. Our real reflection of "The Aloha Spirit" will be from our interactions with you. We will return! The Willis Family, Washington August '09

The gardens, the pool, the accommodations, and of course, your hospitality, were all top notch. The pool toys, snorkel gear, coolers, boogie boards, we used them all! Oh, and lets not forget the tempurpedic bed! I have had the best sleep these last 6 days, and I am getting one when I get home! The Arndt Family, Kodiak, AK. Sept '09

From the moment we walked in the door, we felt like we were home. Truly, home away from home, and even better because it was so easy to settle in. Just make a drink, and jump in the pool! We appreciated all your suggestions and guidance of the area. Every detail made this THE vacation to remember! Morrissey Family, CO, IL, AZ. Oct '09

Wow, What else can we say? This place is fabulous. We had everything we needed for our first visit to The Big Island. It was nice to not have to worry about all the little purchases, spices, coffee filters, snacks, even fresh fruit. Thanks for your careful consideration of all the details! Muenk Family, OH, Dec '09

As I sit by the pool in the cool blue morning, with the sounds of the doves, it is the perfect time to reflect on our beautiful family week in Kona. This is truly a "Sunset Heaven" home, and we so appreciate the multitude of thoughtful amenities. The home is warm and inviting, comfortable, spacious, well maintained and appointed. We could hardly make ourselves leave to go sightseeing! Dooley Family, AK. Dec '09
