| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kalama Beach House. Joe & Madeline provided everything we needed from spices to sunscreen. The beach chairs, umbrellas, and Boogie Boards made our beach experience fabulous. The pool was perfect and there was plenty of shady seating around it. This was a great place that accommodated 2 couples and a baby comfortably. The evening breezes cooled the house and only a little bit of air conditioning needed to keep things comfortable. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen was fully stocked and allowed us to keep our options open. |

To our very special friends, The most special thing about Kalama beach house, we believe it is not the fantastic location it is situated in on the most beautiful beach, nor the wonderful feeling of having our own private pool, nor all the delicious food one can cook on the outdoor BBQ grill, nor the pleasantness in being able to wake up each morning from the chirping of the sweet little birds that visit its garden, nor the tall palm tree which dance to the beautiful island breezes, but our dearest hosts who always so willing and so caring, with their heart warming smiles that can brighten up our days. Please always stay the same and we wish you many great fortunes and everything happy and sparkling for you and Madeline and your two lovely children. Big Hug!

| We had a wonderful time. This house is perfect and in a great location. Madeline and Joe were great hosts who have thought of everything, they even found a sewing box for my mother. We hope to be back soon. |

Thanks for having us over, Madeline & Joe. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Better than we ever anticipated. Thanks for showing us the Hawaii you love...now we love it too!
All our love,
Tania & Stefanie Hartman
One of the best things about having a vacation rental is all the wonderful people we meet. Tania is coming back with her husband to stay at our home & dog sit while we go to New Zealand!

Madeline & Joe,
Thank you so much for such a wonderful place to call "home" for the week & even more so for the best place in the world to get married. The house is so comfortable & feels like home & the food you created was top notch - it could not have been better. We look forward to seeing you both soon & also staying here time & time again.

Dear Madeline & Joe,
Thank you both so much for the use of your beautiful home. We have enjoyed every minute of our stay. The best part of our trip must be the seaplane flight that you organised - a fantastic way to see the island.
Thanks again - you never know, we might be back!!!

Had a great time. Enjoyed your beautiful home. So nice to be so close to the beach. You did a nice job making the house a home away from home for everyone staying in it. Loved the extra touches like the beach chairs & floating equipment for the pool. Joe, thanks for help with the DVD. Looking forward to seeing you in Flagstaff in a couple of months.
They came as guests - they left as friends - we stayed in their beautiful home when we spent our family vacation at the Grand Canyon.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home. It is so pleasant & peaceful & seems so isolated from the neighbors. This vacation was the best. I could just stay here forever. Your back yard is awesome.
Thank you so much for everything.

This place was so cool! It almost made me forget this wasn't "my" house. It's going to be really hard to leave. It made me feel at home.

Joe & Maddie - Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home. First off, you were both gracious hosts! Made us all feel very comfy. We all enjoyed our vacation in paradise. Can't wait to tell all our friends & relatives about this place & hope to someday return. The pool was amazing - the girls loved it. And the beach was pristine.
