| This is a beautiful, clean condo in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed so much seeing the sunsets from the patio. |

Just back (sadly) from our wonderful trip, and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed your condo. The location was FANTASTIC, and the space worked out perfectly for the 4 of us. We appreciated how well-equipped it was. The kids really loved hanging out at the pool. Thanks also for all the tips on where to go and what to do!
I hope that we’ll get to return someday soon.

Aloha Peter,
Just a little note to thank you for the use of the townhouse. We really enjoyed the location right on the ocean and it was just fantastic to wake up in the morning and step out on the patio to watch the waves crash on the rocks, see the outrigger canoes go by and on the last morning even see the spinner dolphins right in front of the house. Snorkeling on the Big Island is great (beautiful coral, fish and lots of turtles) and we love the more original style of the island compared to the high rise buildings and freeways on Oahu.
Your house is well stocked and very conveniently furnished with plenty of towels, sheets and beach paraphernalia and it was great to have the pool and tennis court right across. Our 9 year old was in the pool right as it opened at 8 am every day.
You might want to have the upstairs toilet checked since it keeps running (if you don’t manipulate the handle a bit) and wasting lots of water.
Frits wasn’t able to resolve the internet connection problem with the local support but he used some neighbors wireless once in a while.
Mahalo,
Frits and Annemiek DenHartog

| Our family of five enjoyed our brief stay in this lovely townhouse with its breathtaking view of the ocean from the patio. We loved the fact that this townhouse was close to a shopping center for groceries and to a beautiful beach for snorkeling. The KKSR pool was directly across from our front door and our parking spot was conveniently located outside our door. Peter and Darla were helpful before, during and after our stay. We also appreciated their personal recommendations and lovely decor! Although we did not have a chance to play any tennis, there were plenty of courts to choose from. We highly recommend this clean and lovely condo! |

| The KSR townhome was perfect for our visit to Hawaii. The location is convenient to the market and shops yet feels remote because of the waterfront patio. The gated entrance adds to the security and you can park directly in front of the unit. Great property. |

Peter,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your wonderful home. We vacation in Kona every year but this was the first time we rented a condo vs. hotel rooms. What we found was the relaxation factor grew 100 fold thanks to your lovely home. The kitchen was well stocked, the bed comfy and the views.... well they are spectacular. Being lulled to sleep every night by cool trade winds and the sound of the surf was so relaxing for us. We have already passed on your info to our friends who are grateful for a special place to stay. We will be back!!! It was a pleasure dealing with you!
Mahalo for everything!

| My sister and I had a lovely time in this condo! We couldn't get enough of the spectacular views of the ocean from the patio- just feet away from the water. We recommend it highly, and look forward to returning with our families. |

Hi Peter,
I wanted to write to say thank you for making such a wonderful little condo as KKSR #186 available to travelers like me. The rate charged was absolutely fair and the unit and complex were just fantastic. I can't wait to come back!
Falling asleep and waking up with the ocean crashing on the rocks was awesome, as was the fact that meals and drinks could be taken seaside. There is plenty of privacy there too which was really great. I had packed my own binoculars and then found I didn't need to have done that; the condo is so well-stocked.
I hope I can rent from you again in the future! |

| This was a beautiful place to stay, waking up hearing the ocean and the beautiful view was wonderful. They are right next to the community pool which was very convenient. The best snorkel place is just a 5 min drive away! Peter and Darla do a fantastic job of providing recommendations for places to visit and dining places. I would definitely stay here again. |

We would highly recommend a stay at KKSR #186. The view could not get any better. We also would like to thank the maintenance guys, they came by through out the week to be sure everything was ok, very friendly! Highly recommend a walk to Jameson Restaurant for lunch and a bottle of wine. The locals and their boogie boards are an exciting event while we enjoyed our lunch.
We look forward to our next stays at the same location. |

| I stayed here in late April/early May of 2007 as part of a large wedding party. While most of the wedding stayed in another Peter and Darla owned property, I got to relax and enjoy beautiful sunsets from my back door! This condo was the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the main center of Kona (which is a convenient drive away), and I will most definately consider staying there again should my travels ever bring me back to the islands. |

| We have just returned from a lovely 10 day vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii where we stayed at the Keauhou-Kona Surf & Racquet Club. Peter and Darla were tremendous to work with as we made our arrangements. Their responses were timely and highly informative. The information they provided to us prior to our arrival on "things to see and do" was outstanding and went a long way to make our holiday memorable. The townhouse was very comfortable; equipped with all of the necessary amentities. We would highly recommend renting accommodations from Peter and Darla. Thank you for a lovely stay in paradise!!! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Peter & Darla's KKSR unit! Sat on the lanai daily and watched whales in the (close) distance. Beds were confortable and the unit is decorated beautifully. We felt very much at home here and were very sorry to leave.... vacation time is far too short! |

Aloha,
We enjoyed our time here in Kona! Thanks for the extras like the flashlight, binocs, cooler, & music!

Below are some of our suggestions for future guests :).
--There's lots of awesome snoreling around here. We especially liked the beach just about 1/2 mile north of here [Kahalu'u Beach Park}. Green sea turtles can be found right up near the shore even on busy days! It was great!

i've made over 40 visits to hawaii and this was my first time staying at KKSR and booking with peter & darla - my stay was FANTASTIC!!!!! the ambience in the townhouse is very tropical and so relaxing (not to mention how convenient it is to get to the pool for awesome tanning) - it truly is a place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world and just mellow out. i loved falling asleep to the sound of the surf.
i also had the pleasure of meeting peter & darla in person and i have to tell you they are two terrific people!
you'll really enjoy your stay here and it's such a pleasure to rent from folks who obviously take pride in their homes and want others to be comfy during their stay. i urge you to take a peek at their other rentals in kona if the townhouse is booked - all of their properties are outstanding. |

Guest Comment Entered By Homeowner:
Dear Peter and Darla,
Thank you so much for the use of your wonderful
townhome in Kona. We had a lovely stay. We just
couldn't get over the waves crashing right outside the
back door. Just excellent!! I was wondering if you
remember where you got (or what manufacturer makes)
the tropical fish light switches and the teak/rattan
furniture in this unit? We really are interested in
finding these items for decorating our new home.
Thanks.
Regards,
Patty Helgeson

This was our first stay in the Keauhou area – we’ve always stayed closer to town in the past – and we loved the area. We especially enjoyed being able to walk around without having to deal with Alii Drive and the traffic.
We discovered the nearby beach and tidepools with their heiaus and turtles, and would have walked over to the hotel for drinks if we hadn’t all been sniffling and hacking with colds and flu.
Sitting on the lanai was great for reading, and we found the lending library next to the ever-so-convenient pool/tennis area to augment our selections. |

| Get ready for spectacular sunsets night after night and the sound of the ocean 24/7. This is a special place and it is furnished with such flair. I stay here whenever I can. I love it like my own! |
