Dear Steve,

We can't thank you enough for all of your "aloha" hospitality. We have been to resorts all over the world and our one week at your resort was by far the best vacation we have ever had. "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." The beaches across from your property were so secluded, and we especially enjoyed swimming and fishing in your lake. We caught many bass and catfish. Rowing on the lake at night was so romantic. We even drifted to sleep on the lake one night. All your personal suggestions were great. We'll be back for a longer stay next time.

The pictures don't do justice to the property. It is so much better than we thought it would be. Loved the feeling of living in a botanical garden surrounded by water on all sides. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We'll be back soon.

No place on earth could be any better than this. Simply paradise. The trade winds will blow for a very long time with lots of pleasant memories on behalf of our group.

All honeymoons should be spent on this secluded paradise. Your private beach was soooo perfect we never wanted to go anywhere else.

Kilauea Lakeside is truly the treat of a lifetime. We'll never want to stay in a condo or hotel again. We all felt the like kids on your Tom Sawyer's island. We kayaked from your dock and used the rope swings and tree houses nearly every day.

Somewhere out there, lurking below the surface, is a very large bass with two fish hooks. I'll be back for him. This place is truly paradise.

I promise not to tell anyone how great the fishing was in your lake. The electric boat make it easy to catch good sized bass everyday and my friend's son caught a catfish nearly half his size.

Today's the day we leave paradise. What a wonderful honeymoon. It was so refreshing to be surrounded with nature so beautiful and unspoiled. Kayaking around the lake was a blast. In fact everything was, including the island, we even got out to see a few sights. Steve, thank you a thousand times for making this the vacation of a lifetime.

Each day became another "gift" in this most incredible paradise. Didn't make it south at all - just wanted to swim, kayak, hike and enjoy the beauty right here at our fingertips on your property. Thanks for all your time and effort in helping us.

Your 'little piece of paradise" is truly amazing. We had an incredible time. It will always be special for my brother who got engaged at your property and for my husband and I who spent our honeymoon there. Unbelievable in every way. Loved the swans and birds.

We've always enjoyed Hawaii but this is by far the best. The serenity, privacy and beauty of your estate is more than we could have imagined. You have succeeded in your quest to make this "the most enjoyable vacation ever." We enjoyed wonderful weather that really your "living art" express its fullest potential. Thank you for sharing paradise.
