| This home is wonderful; its serene location and exquisite design are the perfect setting for the islands. A stocked kitchen enables great meals at home or head north or south for great restaurants. But you don't have to walk further than the gardens in the yard to enjoy all the beauty of Hawaii. |

WOW...what an incredible home! My husband and I and our two teenage kids stayed at the Stigler home for 12 days. The grounds are spectacular. The house has this incredible sense of peace right when you walk through the door. The pictures on the internet do not do it justice. We were able to relax and enjoy every minute of our time on the island. Thank you Jim for opening up your home. We can't wait to come back.

| The pictures on the internet don't do justice to this fabulous house. Other than the noise from the construction next door during the day, this is the most private, quiet and beautiful place we've stayed in five trips to Kauai. The outdoor shower was so great we never even used the one indoors. We ate every meal outside on the lanai. In the morning we often got to see rainbows against the mountain as we ate breakfast. Hope to return again. |

| What a delightful place to spend our two week vacation! The beautifully appointed and well equipped home, the peaceful and green surroundings and the gorgeous views of the mountains were major factors in making this a wonderful trip. This is truly a unique property that more than lives up to its write-up. |

The home was perfect for us and even better than
expected. It is comfortable, has terrific grounds and
beautiful views. Perfect for celebrating our 50th
wedding anniversary. The home contains all the
amenities you need and is quiet and very private. We
hope to return in the future. |

The house was absolutely wonderful and perfect for us! The yard and surrounding mountains are amazing, I could sit on the deck all day and just look at the beautiful scenery. The guest house worked great for us two couples. The Debuffs stayed in the guest house and they absolutely LOVED the outdoor shower.
My husband and I stayed in the main house and of course were very comfortable. The sunrises from the bed in the mornings were beautiful.
We made great use of your kitchen. We would make breakfast every morning and then Mike (our resident chef) would cook us up wonderful meals at night, mmm mmm good! Most days we were exploring the island and would eat lunch at some local grind. We were in full "Hang Loose" mode all week, it was great.
We are extremely grateful for letting us make your home our "home away from home".

| This house was spectacular! It was a few miles off the main highway, so while it was close to great beaches, restaurants and hiking, we were also able to get away from the crowds easily. The setting was gorgeous, and the house was beautifully decorated and had all modern amenities (washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, barbecue--everything we wanted), which made staying there easy and a pleasure. |

My husband and I just returned from this beautiful home (Jan 09). We have been to Hawaii numerous times and have stayed in some of the best hotels, including the Grand Wailea and Ritz Carlton (now the Four Seasons), but this was the best trip and best lodging we have enjoyed in Hawaii.
The house is beautiful, private and immaculate. It has a wonderfully well-equipped gourmet kitchen which we enjoyed using. I also like the combination of being close to town, yet far enough away to feel very relaxed. I can't recommend it highly enough. |

| This rental is absolutely beautiful and private. The kitchen is fantastic - a cook's dream! The living room space is comfortable and the master bedroom is spacious and serene. The cottage is quaint, and its outdoor shower is a real treat. We treasured our time in this elegant home and look forward to returning soon! |

| We had an excellent stay here (Oct 08)and were more than pleased with the accommodations. The house is stunning in both decor, location, and views. We enjoyed the privacy and convenience to other activities (dining, beaches, hiking) and could not have had a better host. Alas, we are now spoiled and will have a difficult time staying anywhere else on the island! Thank you for the opportunity to share your wonderful and peaceful home. |

| My husband and I recently returned from our 8-day stay at this beautiful property. We were in Kauai for our 25th wedding anniversary. This lovely home was everything we had hoped for: peace, serenity, privacy and more. The kitchen is gorgeous and has every imaginable appliance. We cooked in quite a lot because the property was so beautiful, we hated to leave. It was great to come back to our private Eden at the end of each day's sightseeing or swimming. The pictures cannot do it justice. You have to be there to experience the stunning views in all directions, the rainbows, the intense green colors, the birds, the flowers and even the rooster! The neighborhood in general is a real find - lush landscaping, long driveways, and yet it's close to great beaches, shopping and so forth. We hope to be back one day soon. |

| We spent a wonderful honeymoon in this gorgeous home. The view is simply amazing. The house itself was clean, well-designed and had everything we could want! We're still talking about it, and everyone that sees the pictures is jealous! We can't wait to go back! |

| What a gorgeous place! We spent a week in this lovely home for our honeymoon, and we could not have chosen better. The view is stunning, the home well designed and decorated, and it was a slice of heaven on earth. In addition, the owners were so easy to work with and accomodating when we had an emergency when arriving! Highly recommended and we can't wait to stay again! |

I am sitting surrounded by the magical beauty of your home and wanted you to know how perfect this house is.
You have provided a home that exceeds any we've rented in all our travels. Your taste is impeccable with a level of attention to detail that is a 20 on a scale of 1-10 . We have cooked in your kitchen and made sure to eat viewing the mountains from every vantage (don't worry, we didn't eat in the bedroom!!). The kitchen is heavenly - we do have a fabulous kitchen in our home in Philadelphia and we found yours as easy to work in.
This place is as majestic as the island and we hope that we will be able to return.
PS. The guest cottage is perfect too!! You have fabulous taste in decor!

This lovely, comfortable and serene home is
convenient to many attractions on the northside of
the island. There are very nice supermarkets and
farmer's markets nearby. We were very happy here
and we hope to return someday. |

This was truly the best vacation home we have ever stayed in. The space, setting in the landscape, views from the house, and location on the island are all perfect. In this house, you want to spend time in it. The time and care that the owners have taken to make this place special really shows through. Being a cook, the Kitchen was great and supplied with everything you would need. Anytime we come back to Kauai, we hope to stay at this house.
Thank you. |

This is a wonderful house - beautifully furnished and located in a peaceful neighborhood on lush acres of former agricultural land. The mountain views are ever-changing and always fascinating. The attractive guest house, which is not rented separately from the main house, is perfect for adult/older children or a second couple. You are a short drive away from good beaches as well as the Princeville Resort Complex.
It is obvious that owners Jim and Lisle Stigler love this property themselves and will do all they can to see that guests enjoy it as well.
We had a perfect week here - it gave us a feeling of serenity and of all being right in a beautiful world. The only problem is it's very difficult to leave! |

| This is such an amazing property. I was concerned about not being in Hanalei but now I'm so content here, I don't make it into Hanalei most days unless I'm going surfing. Working on a script here and couldn't be more inspired. Thanks for creating such an amazing space. |
