Just What We Needed

we arrived and everything was just as promised. the place was a 10 on a 10. the pool was used everynight we did not use the hot tub as the weather was hot. the inside was very nice a lot of room and there were plenty of space to move around in. it had two refer. and two sinks one up and one down all in all it was a great place to stay i would stay there again any time and we will next year. paul was there if we needeed anything but we did not. phil

We just got back from a 10 day stay and our group was very comfortable in Paul's house. The four bedrooms and four bathrooms were all spacious and well-appointed. It was too warm for the spa, but the pool was a nice place to cool off. Two large fridges and the kitchen had most any essentials we needed. Easy walk to two nice beaches and less than a mile to Kahalu'u which has fabulous snorkeling. We enjoyed watching the geckos and nice sunsets and even had a daily visit from a wild turkey. Paul is a great host and he made sure we had plenty of towels and supplies.
This place is huge and can handle a large crowd, lots of beach toys for the kids and conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood. Internet connection was fine and there were numerous large TVs. This is a clean and beautifully decorated house with comfortable tropical themed furniture that has a nice, upscale feeling.

Aloha,and Mahalo Paul
Your home was exactly what we were looking for this trip back to the Big Island. The house was spacious enough for two families (8) with kids. The pool was nice to have because I do not like to swim in the ocean, but the beach was just a stones throw away for the kids. The big screen Tv's were a plus, that are not shown in the online pictures. Your place was close enough to town and activities, but far enough away from the noise at night. As repeat visitors to the big Island this was a plus. The no bug factor was also great, and considering all the tropical trees and landscape you have around the property, we were quite impressed. We would recomend your house to anyone who wants to visit the big Island and feel the Ohana and the Aloha. Mahalo, Bill Terri Joseph Thomas Bruce Lisa James Justin

Paul, The house was "perfectly" awesome, we enjoyed our vacation and the location was close to everything. We enjoyed the geckos, the comforts of home, and your hospitality! We will definitely return, and Mahalo!

PS: If this is the house that Mom and Dad saw years ago with Grandma it is a beautiful house. I remember looking at the photos..

There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe our stay over Christimas (2003). Everything about the house is just perfect for group/family vacations -- plenty of space to spread out, great kitchen for making big or small meals, great pool area to relax and "desalinate" at the end of the day and one of the world's best snorkelling beaches in easy walking distance. We want to move in for life! Or at least come back often. Thanks!

This was the PERFECT place for two families to stay. The house was very homey, not kitschy. The pool was ideal as we had kids from age 10 months to 12 years old. The location was key for easy access to snorkeling, shopping, etc. Most of all, Paul made us feel completely welcome by having anything you need to enjoy the island.

We were looking for a great house to celebrate our son-in-laws safe return from Iraq. The house had to have lots of room for ourselves, two daughters, spouses and four young grandchildren. Paul's house more than met our expectations. The pool was a great hit for the kids and they could use it any time they wanted. From the location, the price and the amenties this vacation home was a great value!
