Comment Text: Deb and I have rented from Mark and Rae five times over the past decade. We would never consider going anywhere else. Even a popular island Bed and Breakfast can't compare to the value and serenity you receive here. One summer we rented two homes, so we could take our entire family; that was an unforgettable lifetime experience. This past July for the first time we rented the Mango house. It turned out to be a gem. The house has unmatched privacy and beauty. For two couples, it would be outstanding since there is a second building behind the house proper. The second building has a sizable bedroom and bathroom. And to be honest when you are in Hawaii, you spend very little time indoors. The Lanai of the Mango house is a great place to waste away the day. Also, I loved waking up before sunrise, and walking behind the house to pick perfectly ready to eat mangoes for our breakfast.

Mark and Rae are wonderful hosts and we consider them special friends. They always go out of their way to make you welcome. Rae's little touches of freshly baked muffins and beautiful flowers throughout the house are heart-warming. Mark has done an awesome job landscaping the properties throughout the years. Sometimes we feel as if we are in a tropical rainforest. We especially enjoyed their dinner invitation and then geocaching with them later in the week. This vacation has solidified our dream to retire in the same vicinity of beautiful Laupahoehoe. The Therrien properties are the best kept secret of Hawaii:). Mark and Rae--thanks again for the many wonderful memories over the years and sharing your niche of paradise! I just purchased Keola Beamer's cd Island Born and the new John Cruz cd to maintain a little touch of Hawaii until we return. Thanks for sharing the Beamer cd with us!
