| One year ago our family sat down to plan a trip to destination unknown. It only took minutes to decide upon Hawaii an seconds after to reach a consensus on Kauai. Your fantastic home provided many opportunities for the family to share experiences and togetherness that doesn't occur during most family vacations. The view of Bali Hai, perfectly framed by the windows in the great room set the tone for the whole week; one of relaxation and magical peacefulness that will remain with us forever. This home will play a large part in our stories that we will tell of this vacation in the coming years, soundtracked by the tropical sound of Iz. |

| We spent a fantastic week in your beautiful home on a fantastic island. We had a very busy week leading up to a beautiful wedding at the Princeville Hotel with immediate family and closest friends. Everyone enjoyed the house and your great amenities such as the boogie boards, tennis racquets, bikes, etc. We toured the entire island and enjoyed all the great beaches. We have many great memories and look forward to a return visit. Mahalo! |

Two families (me, my wife and our one year old daughter plus another couple and their 3 kids ages 4, 7 & 9) stayed at Villa Lauloa March 19-25. It was perfect for two families!!! Just the right size, excellent layout, very well furnished, and great location near golf and beaches. The boys surfed at Hanalei (Bowls & Pavillions) and Tunnels. The girls enjoyed a spa day at the Princeville resort. Ate at Blues Sushi in Hanalei (very good) and at Hanalei Dolphin (excellent - don't miss the teri ahi!) A wonderful home in a perfect setting = a great vacation!!! Thanks!

We spent our Christmas holiday at Villa
Lauloa this year. Eleven members of our
family wanted a change for the
holidays. We recently lost my brother,
Adam, unexpectedly in April of this
year and the thought of spending the
holidays in the normal fashion without
him was not something that we wanted to
do. We decided Hawaii, because it was
close to his heart, but Kauai was a
choice that was made by my cousin who
found Villa Lauloa. We spent the week,
exploring the beauty of the Garden
Island-the helicopter tour was amazing.
The Blue Dolphin whale watching was
unbelievable and the beaches were
pristine! The house was so convenient
and well kept that it was a pleasure
just reading a book on the patio or in
the backyard! They had anticipated our
every need and then some. If another
family gathering in your beautiful
state is an option, we will definitely
return. It was the perfect place to
complete a perfect trip. We left our
worries at home and let the healing of
Hawaii take place. Sincerest thanks. |

We have just returned from Hawaii and spent five wonderful nights in Villa
Lauloa. The house was excellent and has obviously been well looked after. We
particularly enjoyed the balcony to sit and have breakfast while admiring
the spectacular scenary. Coming from a much cooler climate, we did sometimes
find the house a bit hot during the day but it cooled down overnight. The
body boards were brilliant and the swimming opportunties were fantastic.
We took a 45 minute helicopter trip from Princeville, which included Waimea, Na Pali coast and various waterfalls. We thought this was
excellent and would recommend it. We also did some hiking on Napali which
was energy sapping and went Kayaking (and snorkelling) from Hanalei which
was also great. We could easily have spent more time in this beautiful area.
Thank you for making your home available and for making our vacation so
enjoyable.

Homeowner Response:
Thank you! We travel to Kauai twice a year and love spending time in our home. We take special pride in taking care of our home and keeping it in top condition. We recently added additional solar fans and more louvered windows to allow the trade wind to cool our home naturally. In Kauai electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels and air conditioning is the biggest user or electricity. By utilizing solar fans and louvered windows to keep our home cool we keep Villa Lauloa green and eco friendly and are able to keep the rental rate affordable.

We traveled as a group of 10 people, 6 kids ranging in age from 12 to 20 and 4 adults. The house was perfect!! The kids had room to spread out and give the adults plenty of space too. The shower in the master bedroom is to die for!!!
The view was fabulous and the neighborhood was very quiet. If we go back to Hawaii we will definately stay at Villa Lauloa again. |

We had a wonderful family vacation and enjoyed the opportunity to spend 2 weeks at your gorgeous home. We have vacationed in Kauai many times and your home is now our favorite so we will return again next year. We loved Princeville and the weather was perfect for us since it was a little cooler than Poipu where we have stayed before. The hiking and snorkeling were spectacular. The house was very clean, everthing looks new and it was extremely well stocked. Thank you for sharing your home!

| A beautiful house. Everything was as described. Three beaches are within a 20 minute walk. The house is fully stocked and has very nice furnishings and linens. Of note, there is no air conditioning but the house only gets warm during the early afternoon on the top level. During the evening and night you need a blanket to sleep. Many screened windows and ceiling fans are available throughtout. High speed internet was a nice bonus - bring your laptop. |

Villa Lauloa was absolutely beautiful. From sun-up to sun-set, the view was spectacular. We all had a wonderful time at your lovely home. It was more than we imagined. The guys enjoyed the good surf and the gals enjoyed the great shopping and sun. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We will be back.
Aloha and Mahalo,

| We loved Villa Lauloa so much that the minute we got home we reserved it for next year. It was very well appointed and the decor was gorgeous, better than our own home! It was a very spacious house and in a nice, quiet location. Loved the view of the Bali Hai and when the waves were big enough (which they often were) we could see (& hear!) them crashing on the cliffs. My family loved the lanai, entertainment room, wireless, the boogie boards, snorkel gear and all the beach towels. And the beds were so comfy... I wish I was there now! |

| We can't wait to go back to Villa Lauloa again next year. We loved the house and location! There was plenty of room for two families. Our favorite pastimes were surfing during the day and BBQing and watching the sunset from the lanai in the evening. |

| We previously stayed at a 5-star resort the last time we visited Princeville. This time we stayed at Villa Lauloa. We loved the rooms, decor and furniture. We had a wonderful vacation at a fraction of the price! |
