Jo Ann, We just wanna thank-you so much for allowing us to stay in your condo. It is so inviting as it is warm and so comfortable like home. As this was our 1st visit to Hawaii we loved every moment of peace and quiet. It is so beautiful here. Ocean is the best, waking up hearing the waves is awesome! Our special treat was our last night getting to know you on a personal basis. You are a lovely lady, it's no wonder why people love you. Till we meet again. God bless you & yours.

Dear Jo Ann & JC, Mahalo again & again for sharing this lovely, lazy, homey condo with us. We felt supported by you & your availability but also leaving us on our own which we loved. Bed was super comfortable - we slept so well. Well, until we meet again & I have a feeling we will...A-L-O-H-A...

Jo Ann, We had a wonderful first visit to Kauai. Even better because we got to meet you and James when we arrived! Thank you so much for letting us stay at your Hale Kipa. We love the location. Maybe sometime we can stay for a month! Much Mahalo.

Dear Jo Ann, Your condo exceeds casual comfort: you've thought of so many things to make it easy for your guests. Primo mattress, for instance. Kitchen condiments, for another. We enjoyed the Farmer's Market produce and Country Moon Bakery, oh yes. Climbing Sleeping Giant, hiking in Waimea - the trail to Lolo Point, across the Nualolo Cliffs Trail to the Awaawapuhi Trail was the highlight for us. Oh, one more food note: the Vy Pho Restaurant was a pleasure few seem to have discovered. Aloha

Aloha Jo Ann & James,
Mahalo for your aloha! We had a wonderful time in your place. It feels so warm and special and I truly enjoyed looking at all your books and CD's. Even though we live here it's a special treat to experience the island this way. The jacuzzi and pool are awesome and the ocean breeze paradise. Thankyou for all your love and support at my shows and look for us at "Taste of Hawaii" this year! See you soon. Peace and Aloha!

What a great location! Love the ocean and pool view. The condo has been greatly appreciated. Loads of extras. Lovely Hawaiian CD's to listen to. The lawns are like a putting green. I went to the Wednesday Farmer's Market - a terrific place for fruit and veggies at good prices. A wedding took place on the lawn outside my door. Everyone came out on their lanais and clapped when the bride and groom kissed. The true spirit of Aloha!

Had a marvelous time on this beautiful island. Trying to figure out a way we can spend one-half the year here! The condo was perfect and had everything we needed. Your hospitality and friendliness Jo Ann, was greatly appreciated. We enjoyed everything we did: Donkey Beach for an end-of-day cool-down to watch the surfers and have a beer; Shave ice from various stands; great seafood from Mermaids, The Fish Hut, Kintaros, Tropical Tacos, and more; kayaking the Na Pali Coast with Napali Kayak (great outfitters); hiking the Kalalau Trail to the Hanakapi'ai Falls-swam alone in the falls! Go Early!; jungle hikes; and more! Sad to leave, but happy to know I'll return one day!

We had a great time in Kauai. Great location to explore all sides of the island. Snorkeling at Tunnels was great -
turtles, eels, reef sharks and lots of fish. Enjoyed Lawai also. Climbed the cliffs at Shipwrecks and went to Hideaways Beach. Hikes were beautiful. Hot tub great at end of day. Roy's and Keoki's restaurants nice. Condo had everything. Thank you for the grapefruit and beach equipment.

On my last full day here I am reflecting on the most complete vacation I have ever had. Every cove and stretch of beach is a post card. The constantly changing array of colors in the ocean and sky is a reminder of how incredible this God made planet is and that I am privileged to live on. Jo Ann set a very high standard for hawaiian hospitality as the accomodations were stellar. I have had everything I have dreamed of. Mahalo.

We enjoyed your homey and comfortable retreat. Despite some inclimate weather, especially the first few days, we totally enjoyed and relaxed during our holiday. Kauai and Kapaa are fast becoming our favorite home away from home. Your unit has all the necessary amenities for an extended stay. We will always remember with fondness, sitting on your lanai, coffee in hand, watching the sunrises. Mahalo.

Although we had a very difficult time getting here (2 flights were cancelled & they lost our luggage) once we did arrive it was such a pleasure finding this beautiful condo, breathtaking view and jacuzzi & pool. It was an excellent starting point to explore the beautiful Island of Kaua`i, not to mention the generous surprise of a champagne toast. Thank you so much for your hospitality. You have thought of everything to make it a comfortable and pleasureable stay for your guests. Aloha and Mahalo to you and yours! P.S. We just didn't want to leave!!!

Dear Jo Ann,
Thank you for allowing us to spend our vacation at your lovely condo. Our 4-1/2 yr old son enjoyed going down to the rocks in the mornings to catch crabs, fishes, shrimp and was especially excited when my husband caught an eel. My 6 yr old daughter enjoyed finding shells. If she could have stayed at the condo without driving around, she would have been happy with that. My husband and I especially enjoyed sitting on the beach at night enjoying the waves smashing against the rocks and knowing our kids were a few feet away from us. By the way, your manager Cindy, was very generous in accommodating us. God Bless you & your family.

Thank you again Jo Ann, we had a wonderful stay. Everyone in the family was envious of our condo, as absolutely everything, including snorkels, movies for the grandkids was available. We even had a couple ask if we lived here as your place is a real "home" not as bare as all the others. The wedding was beautiful and all the family loved Kauai. We hope to try to come back in 2 years. Also, thank you for allowing us a late check out. We really appreciated it. Mahalo!!

Mahalo Jo Ann for providing such great "digs" for our mid-winter get-away! Our week included some great hikes (Waimea Canyon and the Sleeping Giant), Oceanside massages up in Haena, and a good deal of lounging around on the futon in your great vacation home. :) It is so nice to stay in a place that is so clearly well-cared for as JC's Hale Kipa. We look forward to our next trip to Kaua`i!

Jo Ann, Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality. Just like being at home with all of the conveniences of home. Sunrises were awesome. The Lord blessed us our first morning with a star as "Bright" & "Big" & close to the water, it shone on the water like the moon and a little later the moon came up. What a special treat it was. I believe it was Venus and I've never seen it that bright and big before. Thank you again. Lord willing we can come back again. God Bless. In His Love,

What a blessing it was to have met you two years ago, so that we could stay in your beautiful home for this vacation. Our family time here was spent playing games at your table, reading out on the lanai or in your big comfy chair (my oldest daughter wants to take it for her first apartment!) We also enjoyed watching your movies or just listening to the waves. We kept a really tight schedule while we were here. In the morning, we would roll out of bed and into our swimsuits and out to the pool. Our days were filled with reading and shopping, a little sight-seeing and then more pool time. Evenings were for BBQing and shuffleboard...did I mention pool time? The location of your condo was soooo perfect for going back and forth to the pool and to the beach. Thank you so much for the fresh fruit deliveries. We have enjoyed each and every single thing that you have placed here, from the art work to the first aid items, to the condiments in the kitchen.
We are truly blessed to have been able to spend our vacation here. We can't wait to come back!

Aloha Jo Ann...to you and your beautiful "Ohana!"(love the pics of all of you on the fridge!) We both spent a lovely honeymoon in your quaint condo. A huge MAHALO for your wonderful and warm hospitality upon our weary arrival. The fruit basket was such a kind gesture. It was so great to stay somewhere that is so obviously loved and well cared for by its local owners. It felt like we were ohana ourselves and that was truly great. Your place was the perfect setting for us to unwind from all the craziness of our wedding. We especially enjoyed being able to see the gorgeous blue ocean with its hypnotic breaking waves right from the lanai as well as from inside the living room...the most awesome ocean view we've ever had while staying in Hawaii! We loved the close proximity of the pool/spa and BBQ to the unit---so convenient! Plus, we were so lucky to be here during the full moon. Watching it peek in and out from behind the ever-drifting clouds framed by the magestic palms was pure bliss.
Thanks for making our first time to Kauai together ever so magical and memorable. JC's Hale Kipa ROCKS!!!
