 "WE had a great time - lovely house and plenty of room. WE ate most of our meals there and were delighted to find spices, condiments, etc left by others. It was easy to get to the variety of things to do. The managers were easy to get in touch with when we had any questions and helped us finding golf courses to play. Mahalo to everyone." - Gretchen, Rochester, NY, 08/30/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed at the Hawaiian Hibiscus home this past August for two weeks and found the house to be as comfortable as staying in our own home -- just in Kauai! Ning is very thoughtful and the house is fully stocked and the location is superb. We had our two kids and a set of grandparents and it was perfect. The kids went "frog hunting" each night in the neighborhood with flashlights which was fun. The two fridges and two washer and dryers were very convenient as well as the TVs and DVDs in each room. It was awesome to have the pool and jacuzzi too. We love Kauai and staying in this home made our trip even more enjoyable." - Julie Supan, San Francisco, 08/27/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Hibiscus House exceeded expectations. We were a family group of 10, and everyone had a great time." - Larry Selwitz, Newport Beach, CA, 07/22/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our stay in Kauai was wonderful, and we attribute a lot of that to the fact that we stayed at hibiscus house. It gave all ten of us our own space and also allowed all of us to mingle. It is a wonderful house and Kauai is a wonderful island. We'd rent it again in a heartbeat!" - Anonymous, Billings, MT, 06/20/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We booked the Hawaiian Hibiscus Home months in advance (recommended). We are so happy that we did because it looks like the dates fill fast! Once we arrived I realized why! The home is very large and it was PERFECT, we were traveling with our two kids (8 and 13) as well as my sister, her spouse and daughter (age 14). We had more than enough room, in fact everyone enjoyed some down time in separate areas of the house. My husband loved the sunroom, the kids loved the pool, I spent some quiet time in the master suite (nice and cool a/c)... The kitchen was well equipped and we loved having coffee each morning to sound of tropical birds in the garden. Great location, so close to shopping, restaurants and the beach!! We all LOVED the pool, it was a perfect way to cool off in the warm Poipu sun! The only negative was that the livingroom gets uncomfortably warm in the evening. The a/c is only in two of the 5 bedrooms, so we would seek relief in the evenings in the two bedrooms or pool. It did not hinder our enjoyment and we understand that most homes on Kauai do not have a/c. But a more powerful ceiling fan or window fan would provide some relief in the evenings. Overall we had a blast! It was a true pleasure, thank you Ning!" - TJ and Rachel, Turlock, CA, 04/29/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "Mahalo Ning,Our stay in your house was the best we have had in the Islands.From the beds to the pool to the kitchen everything was outstanding.We would stay there in a heartbeat when we go back!Thanks again.D" - David and Jana Dorsey, Steamboat Springs,Co., 01/31/11( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Lovely, spacious house with a great kitchen, comfy beds and a quiet neighborhood. A five minute drive to Poipu beach and close enough to many other activities on the island that you don't waste all day driving. Loved it!" - Bruce Boysen, Los Angeles, CA, 10/18/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Hawaiian Hibiscus home. Fit our two families (7 people) comfortably. The pool was a nice attraction for the kids. Extras that came in handy were the beach chairs/mats/ umbrella plus nice to have two washing machines and dryers!! Big thanks to Bill (property manager) for helping us throughout our stay...very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again." - Dave K, Calgary, AB, Canada, 08/06/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"We loved this house! It suited our large group of 8 adults, 2 young kids and a toddler. The poop was lovely and well maintained - perfect for a late afternoon dip while the kids napped. Ning was super helpful and everything was set up that we needed when we arrived. Will definitly stay again if we travel with a group. I can't wait to get back to Kauai :)" - Jennifer, Edmonton, Alberta, 05/05/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"My family and I had the priviledge of staying in the Hawaiian Hibicus Home at Poipu Beach from April 11th 2010 until April 18th, 2010. The home has every amenity of my home and more. It was spacious, clean and tranquil. My family of ten had no problems hanging out together or spending time away from each other. The neighborhood is very appealing to the eye and all properties are well kept. The neighbors and the people of Kauai are very friendly and eager to help if needed. The guest information book found inside the home is full of lots of information for visitors to Kauai. Trust me, READ the book! It will save you time when you are planning your day. The home has lots of surprising extras such as: beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards and snorkeling gear. I would highly recommend this home to others, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for allowing my family and I to borrow your home Ning, we really appreciate it! I plan on making a return trip in the future." - Melody Prunty-Sanders, Jamestown, NY, 04/20/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We had a wonderful time in your beautiful house. We were pleased that it is supplied with so many "extras", the beach toys, boards, chairs, etc. and the spacious kitchen with every needed utensil, pan, etc. We also used the outdoor grill. The house is spacious enough that we could spend time together but yet had enough privacy spaces for quiet time. I will definitely recommend it to friends and hopefully we will use it again in the future. Thank you. Hide" - Hide T., Redmond, Wa, 04/03/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
 "Ning, We had an absolutely wonderful time in Kauai and in the Hawaiian Hibiscus house. Your home was beautiful but also homey and comfortable. Our children loved the pool (as did the adults) and the hot tub. Everything we needed was right there making it hard to leave each day to explore the island. Emersyn loved her birthday present from you and still plays with it at home. We appreciated the very comfortable beds and furniture. The Master Suite is beautiful. The next time we come to Kauai we know exactly where to stay. Take care and thanks for everything, Ning. Mahalo, Niki" - Niki Wenzel, Kamloops, BC, 03/29/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Aloha Ning, Thank you for your email this morning. We had a wonderful week at your Hawaiian Hibiscus home,. none of us wanted to leave. We were so appreciative of the beach equipment and the pool and hot tub were a big hit. We also appreciated the fact that Kay promptly returned our call regarding the hot tub. We will certainly be in touch with you when planning another stay on Kauai. Thanks again, Beverly Morse " - Beverly M., Spokane, Wa, 03/21/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We just returned home from a lovely stay in Kauai, and are quite sad to be back! Your home was just perfect for our group (3 couples, 2 kids), and we had everything we needed. The layout is fantastic, and there was plenty of space to be together or to get some quiet time away. The very large dining tables, BBQ, and kitchen really allowed us to spend most meals at your home, and the coolers allowed us to bring lunch to the beach. It was fantastic. Thank you for thinking of everything we could need while we stayed, and for the wonderful comfort of all the furniture, space, and amenities (Beds are great!). Our kiddos loved the pool, as did we, and it was so nice and quiet. Now if we could just get rid of the roosters on Kauai. :) Mahalo!! Terri" - Terri, Bellevue, WA, 02/16/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "Thank you very much Ning! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at your home. Everything was fantastic! We also left some sand toys for any future kids that might come stay at the house - hope that was ok and will be enjoyed by many in the future. You have a lovely home, and everything was great - including the managers who we met the first day and also called a couple times to give us some great information. We did get to see some whales, some dolphins, and sea turtles, which was a highlight. Everything was great, and we really had everything we needed (thank you for leaving out the beach towels, chairs, and coolers - those were very nice to have!). We hope to be able to get back to Kauai, and would love to be able to stay in your home again. All the best! Terri " - Lori C., Bellevue, WA, 02/13/2010 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)
"We had a great time at the house. The location was wonderful, and in perfect proximity to a toddler/baby beach. The house had high chairs, baby gates and beach toys which were also helpful. An extra bonus was that the water pressure in the showers was awesome!!!" - Anonymous, 01/27/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Our January 2010 vacation in Kauai was memorable, and mainly because of the Hawaiian Hibiscus home. The home is beautiful as well as comfortable. The attention to detail and gracious amenities made the rental worth every penny! The owners were wonderful to work with and they made the Hawaiian Hibiscus a perfect home away from home. Don't hesitate if you are considering renting the Hibiscus home!" - Suzan, Fairbanks Alaska, 01/17/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"We stayed here June 2009 for a week. The house was WONDERFUL! Plenty of room for my husband and I and our four kids, plus my parents. We loved the location and the pool. I would recommend staying here and hope to come back and stay again soon." - Ria Holdaway, Clinton, NJ, 12/03/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Your home was perfect for our 2 week stay in Kauai. The layout and space in the home accomodated our extended family so well it truely began to feel like home. The pool was perfect for the children and all the extras provided were outstanding. Bill was extremely responsive and helpful every time. Thank You!" - Jo Becker, Littleton Colorado, 10/28/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "Aloha Ning! Your home was a perfect fit for our group of 10 (8 adults plus 2 children ages three and one). There was plently of space for everyone in the house, your home is in a beautiful neighborhood, and Poipu is such a great location. Whether the sun was coming up, or the moon was high in the sky, you could always find one of us enjoying the backyard pool & hot tub. A big thank you for providing all the little 'extras' as well - we were pleasantly surprised to find the snorkeling gear, and the big coolers came in handy on more than one occassion. If we are lucky enough to return to Kauai, we would love to stay again at the Hawaiian Hibiscus home. Mahalo!" - Erica and Mark Fernald, Alexandria, VA, 10/20/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Aloha Ming, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Hibiscus House. The first night after a long travel day we enjoyed a glass of wine in the hot tub. Thank you very much for having the house prepared for our arrival. Was a great start to our vacation. Both couples found the house very accommodating. Probably spent more time out on the back deck than we should have! We all loved the layout of the house. Was great being in a quiet location after a full day of adventure. Appreciate all of the nice touches and extra’s that you provide with the home, that we fully utilized. Now if you could do something about those roosters….

"Ning-great house! Being able to jump in the jazcuzzi the 1st night after a full day of travel was the perfect way to start the vacation. The pool was great place to hang out in-between activities or waiting for others to get ready for the next adventure. Your care takers were very responsive to our questions/issues. A great location too! All the travel books & binder of information was also very helpful. Thanks also for sending me back my mirror-I still plan to send you a thank you! Too much of a rat-race back here (I'm 4 months past due on these comments! YIKES!) Thanks for opening up your home-it is much more beautiful than the pictures on the Web site.

"We visited this lovely home with two couples in early April and must say we were impressed and very satisfied. A great place with lots of room, in a very good location, with lots of extra's for guests. Our original plan was to eat out more but found the home so comfortable with everything we needed so we simply prepared more meals and enjoyed the home in the evenings. Can not say that we missed any items, and we took advantage of some of the ocean toys as well. We have been to Poipu and Kauai many times before but must say this stay was the best!" - Anonymous, 04/15/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
 "This was the first time our group had rented a house for a vacation. It was great. The location was wonderful. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The mornings were leisurely, with everyone getting up and getting their own breakfast when they wanted. It was nice to have a pool and hot tub to use in privacy. The ladies really appreciated the laundry facilities. All in all, being in a house rather than a hotel made for a wonderful, relaxing, economical vacation." - Mike and Sherri Reicher, Belvidere, IL, 04/01/09( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
"Aloha Ning, Very pleased with our holiday, though we saw our fair share of rain. We explored as much of the island as we could and put 1350 miles on the rental van during our stay. The home lived up to its billing and was more than spacious enough for all 8 of us to enjoy and not get in each other's way. The evening breezes were so nice as they blew through the property. We couldn't drag the kids out of the pool! The bikes were fantastic and the kids used them every day to ride around the loop so having them was really appreciated. I added a few (of the more than 1400) photos I took. We'd love to return. Bill was very accommodating. The phone was down and he got that taken care of without us having to be around. We had a wonderful time and felt so privileged to be able to stay in such wonderful surroundings. Mahalo, Tony " - Tony T., Winnipeg, MB, 03/20/2009 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

We did not do half of the things on the island that we wanted to but we did see some very special places and even went to the Smith Luau. Kay and Bill were very helpful and we enjoyed speaking with them on the phone. My family really got to relax and had a lot of time together.

"We had a very comfortable stay in this home, in a very quiet and beautiful part of the island. The house is spacious, the starting amenities provided were ample and generous (sugar/tea/coffee/soaps, etc)... Small touches added to the experience...It was a nice suprise to see 10 beach towels waiting to be used- and soaps/shampoos in each bathroom. Kay and Bill were very accomodating, bringing us a set of clean pillowcases, and providing recommendations for Fish markets/restaurants/and massage therapists. We enjoyed the hammock and hot tub, the lounge chairs and beautiful hibiscus and plumeria trees. The girls in our house never left the house without a plumeria behind one ear... it really was lovely. Since we've not been on the island in a few years, we'd forgotten that roaches live in warm places- so that was the only "yuck" thing we dealt with- and of course mosquitos- but guess that's part and parcel of an island vacation. Possibly installing a new front door screen would help (it kept opening) so one could have air flow thru easily. Other than that- it was a wonderful place to call home for 8 nights!" - The Perera's, 08/04/08( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)
