| We stayed at Aloha Lani at the end of July to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. The house is located in a beautiful area. We loved waking up to the birds and the rain and going to sleep with the geckos. Chad and Sue are lovely people and were a pleasure to do business with. We would happily return upon our next vacation to the Big Island. |

| We had a wonderful stay at Aloha Lani and would definitely recommend this property. The house is very clean and welcoming, located in the jungle like setting among flowers, coconut and papaya trees, which makes it secluded and private. We loved the close proximity to Kalani Resort (literary about 10 steps away), where we had delicious buffet-style healthy breakfast (kids eat free) a couple of times. The house has everything to satisfy traveler's needs - nice sheets, fully equipped kitchen, two sitting areas - upstairs and downstairs. Lots of windows make it light, bright and airy. Our stay was so enjoyable that we will definitely are coming back! |

| Aloha Lani is a wonderful home and we're so happy we chose to stay there. It is just steps away from the wonderful dining and facilities of Kalani, yet far enough to offer privacy and nice accomodations. The home offered everything we could need and gave us the chance to relax in the peace of Hawaii. |

| This was my first time to Hawaii, and I wanted to experience the natural beauty, magic, and serenity that I had long fantasized about. Staying at Aloha Lani was my dream come true. The added bonus was meeting Chad and some of his friends. They were friendly, respectful of my privacy, and fun to get to know. I hope to return someday! |

Welcome to the real garden of eden...paradise...for
a splendid vacation. If you want to just get away
from it all and be peacefully left alone, or if you
want to be near by interesting sites and a great
resort (Kalani) this is the local for you! Chad and
Sue are extremely kind hosts and will help you in
many ways. The place is very clean and tastefully
decorated, all modern amendities and yet really
feels private and isolated, surrounded by a
beautifully kept up garden with fresh fruit trees and
the most memorable birds for your daily wake up
call! A GREAT FIND! |

Aloha Chad:
Our stay at your home was wonderful.We traveled from Alaska so we could visit with our daughter for a month and your place was absolutely perfect. The home was spacious, comfortable and extremely relaxing. We enjoyed sitting out in the morning, listening and watching the variety of birds and strolling through all the remarkable fruit trees and flowers. The beautiful smell of jasmine and gardenia that drifts through the bathroom window early in the morning or late at night is a delight to the senses. I recall counting over ten different varieties ranging from fresh bananas, avacodos to mangos. The drive up to the house was always wonderful, because we always were on the look out for the remarkable crane that would greet us in the evening. The location was absolutely wonderful. It is close to the beach and the pool next door at Kalani, yet remarkably private. Your home provided all the convenience and necessities such as private bedrooms, den with T.V. and VCR,phone,microwave, roomy kitchen and living room that made our stay and visit with our daughter absolutely wonderful and relaxing. I also appreciate how wonderful you are to work with and I do look forward to visiting again. Your home easily accommodated the five of us and from here we were easily able to do beach activities at Pohiki,enjoy the red road & Kehena coastline, sight seeing to various parts of the island as well as access grocery or other locations both in Pahoa and Hilo. Again, Thanks Chad for a wonderful stay and all your assistance. You really made our visit wonderful. The privacy of your home on the three acres, yet the convenience to our daughter in Sea View was wonderful. I look forward to talking to you and staying in your Ohana again. Thanks Chad for a memorable time spent with our family.

If serendipity and/or good karma is at play in your life, it is altogether possible that your stay will bring you to this property.
In practical terms, it is simply an extraordinary location with its 3 acres sitting right on the Red Road - which is straight out of a postcard, and its immediate proximity to worldclass Kalani Yoga Resort, and of course its easy access to the many wonderful amenities of Puna.
In more spiritual terms, the sheer beauty and loving care with which Chad has done the landscaping and gentle interior decor creates a magical environment that stirs soulful memories, present awareness, and creative futures.
Bring your mate and your children (my 6 year old girl LOVED it) and be deeply inspired in their faces anew.
Aloha

5 stars for the cleanliness and lack of
clutter, huge windows in every room, a
large bathroom full of so much natural
light I kept thinking I forgot to turn
the switch off, fresh flowers on
tables, sandalwood soap in the
bathroom, and nice little necessities
such as saran wrap/aluminimum
foil/coffee filters. But most of all it
was like our own private Garden of Eden
on 3 acres of lush greenery with
chirping birdsong at dawn and
delightful frogs calls at night. Loved
the long treed driveway to the ocean
cliffs across the street. |

Chad,
I just wanted to let you know that our trip to the Big Island was the most
relaxing and the most enjoyable vacation we have had in years. You made our stay very delightful. Thanks for sharing your beautiful estate with
us. When we return in 2007, we do hope you are still renting because we
definately would want to stay there again. We will never forget our first
trip up the driveway after dark and wondering "Where in the ---- are we
going?" When we got to the end, we were in love with the place and could
not wait til morning. Came home showing pics of the area around the house and coastline, everyone was so envious and just loved seeing them. In fact you will see xome of them on computer backgrounds where I work. Again, Mahalo and Aloha, and hope to see you again. I do hope you get a notebook and put this in it so other guest can read it and then put their comments into it also. I always enjoyed reading other peoples fun times and where they are from.
