"Jackie,
I've seen nearly every B&B in the state...but yours is one of
THE BEST. From the fabulous breakfast to the "Princess in the Pea
Bed",
your B&B is a wonderful quiet haven and a journey back to the
Hawaii of yesteryear with all of the warmth and hospitality that
defined Hawaii as the "Aloha State". Once again Fommers
gives you a Star rating as an accommodation not to be missed."
-Jeanette Foster - Frommers Guide Book
"Last
evening we arrived and I was drawn straight through the abode to the
gazebo, and across the boardwalk to the slated haven - the warm
evening breeze brushed my cheeks and breathed a wispy welcome. I
felt sheer contentment and peace."
-Janice - California
"To
dream in this beautiful room, to play in this beautiful garden, to
eat incredible meals and to be pampered like Royalty is rare. I
loved being in your beautiful home and to have enjoyed it all. Thank
you, thank you for the fun, the healing and the gratitude for
your enormous generosity."

Here I have listened to the voice of my soul. In the quiet
of midnight and the early morning, thoughts take on a life
of their own. They provide those latest urges that impel
me to commit to the blank page what gestates, ill-formed,
in the alleys of my mind, my spirit. This is a place where
sleepy creativity comes alive and emerges from its
slumber. It is good to be here: nourishing, where the
falling spirit is renewed some and where the sinews of the
self are not as taut as they were on the way here.
- Mahalo, Jim - Oahu, Hawaii
Dear Jacqueline,
In one of the books in this interesting room, "Shoeless Joe", one of the characters quotes "Success
is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you
get." Unless I miss my guess you have achieved
both success and happiness in acceptable proportions, and
I hope this experience can help Fran and I to focus more
intensely on creating our Field of Dreams. Thanks for your
perfect hospitality and for sharing your insights about
starting and running a B&B in this wonderful, remote
paradise.
-Aloha and Mahalo, Richard
To the wind or
the rain or the crystalline sunshine, you and the elements
are one, returning in dreams and daylight and the star
dusted paths that will cross again and again...just a
fancy way of saying ALOHA & MAHALO.

"Jackie,
The Birds Eye Room was just as wonderful and unforgettable as
described on your website. This was our first experience staying at
a B&B and it was perfect. You have a great place as you care for
it and those who stay here too. THANK YOU for your ALOHA! Staying
here has made us want to move to this Island." "P.S. We
loved your breakfast! Each morning was a masterpiece."
-Jovie & Anthony - Honolulu, Hawaii
"An
occasional sound of a rooster crowing or jackass baying, or cow
mooing, or cat purring...fade away so quickly. With the gift of a
deafening silence enhanced by a full moon, a blinking sunrise and an
endless ocean view. We have found the tranquility we needed. Mahalo
for being here."
- Bonnie and Ron

Island dawn
not a time to be embedded in sleep
or on the road coffee sloshing from one's cup
Meditate on the beauty
Golden shafts of sun chopped distantly by streaks of rain
Dark on the horizon
The glasses sea casting back Brazen light
Silver lined clouds, Blue sky colors bare remembering
Platinum, copper, silver, powder blue, tarnished silver,
Aluminum blue, welders white
Who could sleep through such a sight.

Well, we are surely sad to be leaving the Islands, but after a
fabulous five weeks, I'm sure we are out of line to complain.
Walking in the Birds Eye room, being nurtured by a perfect
breakfast (complete with correctly brewed coffee!) has set the
stage for our last days in Tropical Paradise. We've
appreciated your exquisite taste and attention to detail that
other properties often miss...many thanks for sharing your
beautiful home and yourself with all of us visitors.
-Mahalo, Megan and Patricia
Mahalo,
For the food, the laughter, the stories, the secret hidden
treasures, but best of all: your kind heart, feisty spirit and
radiant serenity. It has been a "turn" of a life
time.
-Karen and Brian, Watertown, MA
