| Linda, we so very much enjoyed our stay in your vacation home. It was a great location to Volcano Park & to Hilo. Your fruits were yummy & flowers were beautiful. All the rooms are so spacious & comfortable & we loved having the washer & dryer. Your fresh flowers were such a wonderful addition. Thanks for sharing your home with us. |

What a wonderful place! We were there for three days, and we were so sorry we couldn't stay longer. Linda is a wonderful hostess, and she's provided everything you could possibly need in the cottage. It's immaculate and beautifully furnished, down to the tiniest detail. The grounds are gorgeous. It's in a rural area, which makes you feel like you're really away from it all -- but you're also very close to Hilo, Keaau, Pahoa and Volcanoes National Park.
Linda gave us a tour of her garden, which is a truly magical place. She also recommended the Sunday Makuu Farmers Market, which was a great time, and we had the pleasure of spending a little time with her there, too.
Thank you, Linda, for making our trip so special! |

Thank you for your kind comments! Was a pleasure having you, glad you had time for the garden tour and the Farmers market was fun also! Oh and by the way I love the way you left Kuulei Hale! As nice or nicer than when you came in! Awesome, Mahalo for taking the time to make all so nice! Such a pleasure to be around fun people!

Words can hardly express the beauty and calm of
your tropical paradise. For the second winter in a
row, we enjoyed staying in the cottage Ku’ulei Hale,
and we hope to return next winter for a third time.
Roomy, but yet cozy, the cottage has everything we
need for a relaxing, stress-free vacation. Because
we stay so long and because we like to cook, it’s
wonderful to have a well-equipped kitchen for
preparing and entertaining.
Lunch and breakfast in the yard on the picnic table
with the umbrella, looking down on the fish pond,
being visited by Mitzy, the most loving cat in the
universe -- all add up to a lazy, and relaxing
retreat.
We loved our walks into Kurtistown to pick up a
paper or food supplies and shopping at the Kea’au
Market for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Of course, the best was the fruits and vegetables
you’d bring to us, grown in your own garden. Your
tropical flower arrangements everywhere in the
house add a special feeling to the home. Linda,
your generosity and kind spirit fill the whole place,
enhancing the hundreds of varieties of flowers. We
loved the photo shoot on your garden tour.
Excellent.
We SO enjoyed our time spent with you and Bruce.
You are gracious hosts and we miss you already!

| This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay! Kuulei Hale has an amazing kitchen and bathroom, and the rooms are large and comfortable--the walk-in closet is huge! Everything was neat and clean when we arrived, and there were even fresh tropical floral arrangements everywhere. What we appreciated the most, though, was Linda's generosity. We were allowed with walk and admire her lovely property and even enjoy fresh fruit from her garden. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! |

Dear Linda..
I want everyone looking at your website to know how wonderful this place is.
When I arrived and drove down the beautiful plant lined driveway, I knew this place was going to be special.
The house is so nice and clean. It has a great kitchen with everything you need to cook, the beds are great for sleeping. I love the bathroon too, Linda always has flowers there for you.
I stayed there for a month it was a wonderful place to be.

| Had a great stay! Place is spacious and clean. Easy access to Hilo and the Volcanos. Linda and her husband were friendly and had great suggestions on places to go and places to eat(when we didn't cook at the cottage.) |

| A beautiful peaceful retreat among the greenery. Everything you need is there in the cottage, and the beds are very comfortable. Clean and bright inside. |

This is THE place to stay while on the island! The hosts, Linda & Bruce could not be more accomodating. Fresh flowers, fruit, and lots of laughter! I've made new friends that I look forward to seeing again soon. The house is immaculate and set up with everything you could possibly want. The grounds are amazing with Linda's whimsical characters peeking out amongst the beautiful, lush flowers.
It was a real treat to spend time in such a warm, welcoming rental instead of in amongst the usual tourist rat race! |

Aloha,
My wife and I found the hospitality of our hosts, Linda and Bruce to be all you would want. Very down to earth people and very accommodating. The house is set up just right, has all you might need and some. The views of the grounds from the house are very plesant, the hard work shows. House very clean. Close to shopping and recreation areas. A HOME AWAY FROM HOME. |

We really had a lovely stay here recently.
This new house was very comfortable and sparkling clean!
The kitchen had all the necessities (even down to the macadmia nut cracker).
The washer/dryer are brand new.
The bathroom was very clean.
The whole house was adorned with the most beautiful tropical flowers!
The farmers market nearby was great.
We enjoyed several awesome beaches nearby also.
We saw whales breaching and green turtles swimming right from the beach.
The warm springs are a must!
This vacation rental is highly recommended!!
The owners are a cute, happy couple.
Aloha! |
