We had such a wonderful time and your condo is gorgeous with breathtaking golf and ocean views. The 2 bedroom worked well for my husband and I along with our brother and sister-n-law. The 2nd bedroom turned Master Bed, worked perfectly too! The space was comfortable for 4 adults, we even had our grand-daughter over and almost used the play pin for her to sleep, so it's nice to know you have the option for the younger generation. The pool area by the unit was very Quite and we enjoyed our time there and on the lovely lanai. We even got in touch with some nature viewing of the mongoose being chased by the local birds and bombing the mongoose so he wouldn't get up into their nests. Amazing how Life is - and we plan to be back and enjoy more of it there in 2008.
All the best -

Jean:
We enjoyed our stay at your condo so much. The decor was beautiful,like a model home and was equiped so well.
We enjoyed meals outside watching the sun set into the sea. Also we enjoyed the fact that the condo overlooked the golf course - beautiful..
We hope to stay at your condo again.

Jean, from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for sharing your condo with us. We were there on our honeymoon and enjoyed it tremedously. We did a lot of cooking and BBQing and you had absolutely all the needed commodities. The view from the lanai is amazing....Golf Course and Ocean...you can't beat it...and it's an excellent place to enjoy breakfast or a romantic sunset dinner. The Big Island is so beautiful and well preserved (not commercialized at all). We explored every inch of the island and enjoyed the variety of atmospheres we encountered (quickly learned about the different types of whether all around the island). We visited many of the beaches and bays and they are all gorgeous! Volcano park is very interesting too. We enjoyed the Luau at King Kamehameha's resort and the Whale Watch with Body Glove was great too. We happened to be there for Kona's X-mas Parade, which was so much fun. We found Kona Brewery to be one of the most delicious restaurants to eat in and the Kona Inn had amazing fresh POKE. For those reading this and don't know what POKE is and will be in the Big Island of Hawaii soon, you must venture off and try it! You won't regret it. The supermarkets sell it in the seafood department too. Also Jean, the mall and market across from condo was very convenient. I don't know what else to say. We really enjoyed our time at your condo and our explorations through the Big Island. We will be returning to continue venturing around. There is still much to learn about and do that we were unable to do in the 9 days we were there. However, I think with a good two weeks you are able to do much of what the island has to offer. For honeymooners or families this is an ideal vacations spot!

Thanks again and MELE KALIKIMAKA and Happy New Year.

Sincerely,
Lisa & Neal Linares (12/13 - 12/21/06)

Jean,
The condo was very clean and beautiful. My friend and I enjoyed ourselves very much thanks to your condo. It beat staying at a room in a local hotel. I hope to stay there again with friends.

Thanks, Matt

Hi Jean,

Just wanted to let you know we had a great time in Hawaii and your condo is wonderful. We enjoyed breakfast on the lanai, naps and reading in the afternoon, and several dinners by candlelight. Very nice décor and great views across the golf course to the ocean. We enjoyed watching the golfers during breakfast.

I did call Linda and ask her to replace the hair dryer, which she did. It was only blowing cold air and evidently was broken. It is very difficult to get your hair dry with cold air! She brought over a new one and it was working fine.

We would stay at your condo again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you for putting it on vrbo and making it available. Mahlo.

Hi Jean

Just thought I would send a note thanking you for the rental of your Condo in Kona - it was beautiful we all really enjoyed ourselves. You have it set up very well, all we had to do was move in and enjoy it. The lanai was spectacular. We spent our last few days of the vacation staying on Waikiki Beach which was OK except the water was closed due to the sewage back up from all the rains at least when we arrived the rains had stopped. Next time we go we will probably just spend the whole time on the Big Island it was great, and we would definitely be interested in renting your unit again.

Hi Jean,

We returned to Victoria last night, and drove home to Duncan today, after a most enjoyable month at #xxx Country Club Villas.

We found your unit very attractive and convenient in every way. We spent hours on the lanai, ate many meals there , and our daughter and son-in-law joined us often for dinner.

Being golfers we enjoyed watching the action on #10 green and #18 fairway. Also we were amazed at the number of birds that came by your lanai.

We have spent a number of winters on the Big Island in various condos, and have never enjoyed our accommodations as much as this year.

We would like to return. Next year seems to be out, but if we are all here and able to make it would like to return to your condo in 2008 sometime between Jan. 15 and the end of Feb. Will check with you when plans are firmer, to see if it is available.

Thank you for a lovely month at Kona.

Luella Buchanan.

thank you so much for sharing your lovely condo at CCV with us. We stayed
December 24-31 and had a wonderful Christmas in paradise. Your unit is
wonderfully decorated and we spent a lot of time enjoying your beautiful lanai.
It was like a home away from home for us with everything we could possibly need.
We enjoyed the beautiful swimming pools as well and your location is so
convenient. We will definitely be contacting you when we visit the Big Island
again.

We have stayed in the Keauhou area many times but enjoyed your condo the most. You'll be the first place we check when we go back next year. All of the other guest's comments apply to us as well.

Homeowner Response: I just love that our condo can be your home away from home! Thank you.

Your place really put us in a "vacation mood" - conviniently located, perfectly decorated. It had everything to make our stay easy and comfortable. We especially enjoyed our outdoor dining area :-).
Will definitely recommend to all my friends. Thanks a lot.

Val, Misha, Katja, Kirill.

Aloha Jean and Family,
FYI
We arrived safely late last night. What a delight your condo is. We awoke to the most beautiful view. Pretty birds singing in the trees, boats out in the water and golfers teeing up. We had breakfast on the Lani and my husband has been hard pressed to move himself from that spot. We threaten to get him a set of numbered cards to hold up with the appropriate judged number for shots taken by each golfer. (ha,ha) We are having a great time. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

Beautiful condo! Great, convenient location, beautiful decor, and the patio is beyond wonderful! Deb Wacker, Los Osos, CA

Jean - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Alex, Hayden and I had a fantastic time in your condo! We needed a break from the work world and your place was the perfect get away! Everything was amazing...from the cleanliness, the location, the amenities, the VIEW, the overall positive feeling staying there! Everytime we went out to travel the island, visit the beaches, hike the lava trails we always felt we were headed home at the end of the day. Thank you! It was Haydens first birthday and we got to celebrate it in Hawaii! We will definitely come back!

Homeowner Response: Since we were just there we know exactly how you feel! Thank you...

Jean - Thank you so much for your generousity in allowing us to enjoy your second home! Our honeymoon was a fabulous experience and we are already making plans for a return visit. Maholo! Nicole and Don

WOW! We flew into paradise and the villa just added the most beautiful place to stay in paradise. The villa is so lovely in its decoration. We didn't want for a thing. Then looking out onto the 10th green and then the drop back of the ocean. What lovely people to rent from. It was everything we hoped for and more. We will be returning and we won't want to stay anyplace else.

Homeowner Response: I'm so glad you enjoyed your vacation! You were great guests!
