This lovely cottage is named perfectly, the breezes through the house are wonderful. Although not on the ocean you can hear the ocean at night while in bed. It is so clean and well-equipped. We had a fabulous 2week vacation. Construction was not a problem. S.S., Aspen , Colorado 4/28/08
What a great house -- so well designed. Great layout and breezes -- beautifully decorated. Our 7th time to Kauai but 1st time to Poipu and we hope to be back next year. Thank you. SS & DD, Aspen, CO, 4/22/08

We had an awesome time here! We have been to this island four times now! Last time (one year ago) we stayed in this exact same house! If you want to find a really, really (we're talking best on this island) good shave ice, go to JoJo's in Waimea. It's so good! If you want a place for an amazing lunch, go to Hamura's Saimin in Lihue! Have fun! TC (age 13), 4/16/08
Thank you so much for making your beautiful, comfortable home available to rent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Thank you! C & HW, Camas, WA 1/28/08
What a beautiful home to stay in on our first visit to the island! Great place! Thank you so much. R & G, Gresham, Oregon 1/28/08
We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and amenities of this cottage. It certainly added to our vacation. Our only hope is that the present condition of the cottage will be maintained so when we visit again it will be just as enjoyable. Thank you so much! R & MS, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 1/05/08
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage! We instantly felt at home and greatly appreciated the cleanliness and comfort it offered. It was a vacation to remember! Thank you!! T & GB, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 1/05/08
This was the perfect rental house for our family. Our boys had the best time and a memorable vacation. Jim, this was our second time staying on Kauai in one of your homes. So much better than trying to spend a week wit three small boys in a one bedroom hotel room. Thank you so much for a wonderful and beautiful home for our family. We'll be back! A, K, A, B, and VC, Pacific Palisades, CA 12/21/07
Imagine writing in a guest book while having a Mai Tai and listening to all the relaxing sounds of songbirds and the ocean. How very special and how important to communicate the aura surrounding Ahe Lani. Jim and Valorie you are truly a gifted team as architect, landscape, and interior designers. Your introduction says you built this home for your children -- well you may not be aware but it shows in many ways -- this home flows, relates to the parent house but also possesses a nice and necessary independence. We have nurtured ourselves not only from all the karma and blessings of Kauai but also from living here and knowing we are part of Wisda friends and family. We love the feeling of knowing your son, his wife and your first grandson will be the very next guests here. I hereby dedicate the morning rooster and his many pals to Cale Wisda! B & AH, Coronado, CA 11/18/07
Great place. This house is well kept up. All the stuff you need is here. Well planned. Thanks for everything! S, L, D, &JL, Pleasant Hill, CA 11/12/07
Dear Wisda Family,
The internet pictures of Ahe Lani do not do it justice! This home is BEAUTIFUL!! We have visited our beloved Kauai a handful of times and this stay was a treat. Thank you for thinking of everything for your guests (thumbs way up for the beach chairs, well-equipped kitchen and comfy beds!). We can't wait to visit again, perhaps visiting/using the adjacent home! MW, Oakland, CA 10/03/07
Very comfortable, well-equipped and lovely home. We have loved staying here. Kauai is the most beautiful island. Favourite beach -- Kiahuna/Sheraton beach. Best trip -- helicopter around the island. We'd love to return one day to see more. Mahalo! PM, Somerset, England 8/11/07
Thank you so much. We had a wonderful time in Kauai! The house was lovely and very comfortable. Mahalo. TG, Hayward, CA 8/04/07
We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful home. Everything was great. Close to the beach, shops and all the great sites. Loved the banana tree, coconut trees and all the beautiful flowers. We found everything we needed. You thought of everything. It was really awesome! We even got to see a parade at Koloa Days! Mahalo! TR, Riverside, CA 7/30/07
We have all felt so "at home" here. We were so delighted upon arrival at the loveliness and comfort we found. It really exceeded our expectations. The photos online don't do this house a bit of justice. We enjoyed Kauai as we always do. It’s funny to watch each of us unwind and mellow to the Kauai lifestyle and pace at different times! Now we're all on the same "vibe" and its time to go!! Enjoy and Aloha! LF, London, England 7/26/07
We enjoyed our stay here! It's a great place in a wonderful location. Hope to be back! Mahalo! TA, Tucson, AZ 7/14/07
Everything was perfect -- not at all what we imagined...IT WAS BETTER!! Our family's first visit ever to Hawaii and we are so glad we picked your house! This house was awesome. It’s great because the house is like 100 yards from the beach. Thank you. God Bless. EG, Canyon Country, CA 7/07/07
This house rocks! Thanks for all the amenities! Awesome stay, like at home. Thank you! ED, Bridgewater, NJ 6/27/07
Five year anniversary 5/18/07!!!! We love Kauai and we love our family!!! BD, Phoenix, AZ 5/27/07
Once again, such a wonderful time with our best friends! Beautiful island, our favorite. Snorkeling at the beach house is awesome. Just shake your hand at the fish and they will swarm on you. RE & ME, San Diego, CA 5/27/07
We had such a wonderful vacation here celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We can see why you love Kauai -- we do too! The house was so perfect...so clean, beautifully decorated and having every little thing we could ever need. How wonderful! We did everything we could squeeze in while here and would still love to come back and do it all again along with the things we missed. Next time we're bringing the kids -- they would love it! Thanks again! SR, Anthem, AZ 5/05/07
We had an amazing time celebrating our 10 year anniversary! You truly put so much TLC and thought into your beautiful home! We could live here year round and feel truly at home! The attention to detail and decor was perfect. We were able to see both houses and they both are amazing! They were like model homes decorated and perfectly CLEAN! WOW! Poipu is to centrally located, you couldn't ask for a better vacation home! We will definitely be back and will bring our boys next time to enjoy Paradise as well. Aloha! TK, Laguna Niguel, California 4/29/07
You can't even imagine how much fun my family and I had on this trip without doing it yourself. We had the best beach times on Mama's Beach! It was really warm and really clear water! I hope that you have as good a time as I've had! PS, the house is awesome! TC (age 12), Walla Walla, WA 4/20/07
The house was great. I loved it. (Child's comment) 4/05/07
We had a blast! Great location. Great home. We'll be back. Thanks a lot. DC, Riverside, CA 3/21/07
Dear Wisdas, Thank you so much for your beautiful home. We came here with our friends. We love the beaches, food, and all the locals. We hope to come back in 2008. Snorkel by the Beach House restaurant to see lots of beautiful fish. DC, Rancho Mirage, CA 3/21/07
Relaxing, peaceful and a fun time for a reunion with four couples -- the four guys graduated from college in 1956! Thanks BW, Appleton, WI 3/17/07
Jim, Aloha! Everything was wonderful. Your home is so lovely there! Honestly, we thought we were just renting some "whatever" rental. We were so thrilled when we arrived and saw such a gorgeous home! The house was clean and everything was great. Than you again and again. Our family had a blast. We are hoping to be able to come again to Kauai and Ahe Lani sometime within the next year. We will definitely tell our friends about Ahe Lani who are thinking of visiting Kauai. Mahalo. 2/28/07
What a treat! We enjoyed this house so much. It is beautiful and very comfortable. Thanks! Mahalo! MW, San Rafael, CA 2/28/07
Last week was NCL cruise of the islands - wonderful. This week the canyon, Princeville, Poipu beaches, Limahuli and Allerton gardens are a joy. The other islands are excellent, but Kauai is the best! What a lovely home! PE, Lake Lure, NC 2/19/07
We had a great honeymoon! The house was beautiful, the island at Waimea Canyon was amazing. We loved Kekaha Beach Park and hiking at Waimea Canyon. Hope to be back someday! Aloha! CB, Milford, MA 2/12/07
This is our first time to Kauai & this house was perfect! Very relaxing, comfortable, close to the beach & great weather. The Waimea Canyon is a must + exploring the North Shore. We definitely plan to come back for a longer stay. KH & VA, Santa Barbara, CA 2/05/07
We have just finished our stay at Ahe Lani. I remember when we were looking for a place to rent you told me that we wouldn't find a nice home than Ahe Lani. I'm glad I listened to you. It was perfect for us. Location, size, setting, condition of the house. We had a wonderful second honeymoon and just want to thank you. 1/17/07
We have spent a wonderful holiday on Kauai. The island is so pretty & peaceful & warm & friendly. Added to this was the splendid accommodations. Everything was so tasteful, the kitchen fully equipped and very importantly, immaculate & clean. Thank you! We would love to come back someday & will certainly recommend this place to our friends. With best wishes. BB & JJ, San Francisco & Sydney Australia 1/02/07
We had a great time here. The Beach House restaurant is beautiful & the food was great. Poipu Beach was really good for the kids. This house is beautiful and so well stocked. We couldn’t have asked for more. We would highly recommend this place to everyone. MK, San Jose, CA 11/22/06
Totally loved this awesome house. It was like being at home. We will definitely be back. Thanks again! RG, Oceanside, CA 11/12/06

The two homes are beautiful. It was fun having such a great location as a base for seeing Kauai. Everything was wonderful. MM, New Jersey 8/8/06
Great place -- very quiet. Love the decor. Poipu Beach is nice for 1st time snorkelers. TN Encinitas, CA 8/2/06
This was also our first trip to Kauai. We had so much fun snorkeling up North. We explored most of the island, it’s BEAUTIFUL! Check out the little beach behind this house; great for little ones. TK, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 7/28/06
This was our first trip to Kauai, and this house will be much of our good memories. We were all thankful for all of the amenities, and of course, the house is beautiful. We definitely plan to return! Mahalo! VJ, Costa Mesa, CA 7/14/06
These two houses were the perfect location to bring three families together in to two! While we celebrated our wedding at Poipu/Sheraton Beach, the real celebration took place here as family members from the U.K., California, and Washington met (some for the first time) and got to know each other in a fabulous setting. DD, Seattle, WA-&-Castro Valley, CA 7/5/06
We really love this house! Great island motif & perfect floor plan. What a wonderful gift for your children! Tip: best snorkeling is by the Beach House restaurant in the mornings. BG, Cerritos, CA 5/10/06
Beautiful home with everything we could think of. So many things to do and see on the island, we will be back! TS, Ely, MN 4/25/06
So Relaxing! Loved it here! Must snorkel at the Beach House. We really loved the fruit and veggie stand. AS & JB, Dayton, OH 4/25/06
The best vacation yet. Wonderful house. Baby Beach is great (right behind the house and then left three houses). Mahalo-Aloha. SJ, Tacoma, WA 4/12/06
I love this house. It's so pretty. I so want to live here. Oh, and look in the back, there are banana trees! SM(age 9), Ontario, Canada 3/30/06
We really love your house! Great island motif & perfect floor plan. What a wonderful gift for your children! BG, Cerritos, CA 3/16/06
The house felt like a home away from home. We loved the layout for its open feeling and its child-friendliness. We especially loved cooking in the well thought-out kitchen. This was a great place to spend time on rainy days as well! AV + DM, San Francisco, CA 3/11/06
We have lived in Hawaii a year and this is our first trip to another island. The house is perfect -- great layout and decor. BD, Kialua, HI 2/22/06
We have stayed at many different vacation rentals on Kauai -- this is the BEST! The thought and care that has gone into this house makes it comfortable and convenient. We will be back every year! LK, Long Beach, CA 2/9/06
The house is well prepared and great. We have had a great honeymoon here. We could have stayed here for a much longer time. We don't say goodbye because we hope to return!! MJ, Naples, FL 1/30/06
We just arrived at your rental today. Wow, everything is first class. Very nice. MJ, Naples, FL 1/19/06
House is great! We want to live here in this home on Kauai! TR, Chico, CA 1/9/06
The trip was fantastic and Ahe Lani exceeded our expectations. We were all impressed with the cleanliness and decor. It has an updated Hawaiian theme without being all kitsch and my designer wife appreciated it a lot. Appliances are all new, clean, and in fine working order. The wonderful layout and tasteful organization of the home made our stay even more pleasant. The extra touches like having a tool kit for our baby's bouncer, and beach chairs for the beach were really helpful. Thanks again for the wonderful stay. We hope to do it again in the future. TT, Los Angeles, CA 1/3/06
We enjoy everything in this paradise. Merci. CP, France, 1/3/06
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your home while savoring a very memorable vacation on Kauai. Already planning a return visit and will definitely check availability at Ahe Lani. Mahalo. PW, Oakland, CA 12/26/06
The house is beautiful. We had a great time. Hope to be back. RL, Valley Center, CA 12/19/05

We had a wonderful time! Thank you for the wonderful house. Everything was perfect. DL, San Francisco, CA 11/29/05

Great cottage...we had a great time. Thank you for all the little details. KW, Richmond, VA 10/21/05
We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much. I can't tell you how healing that was. We rested a lot. And, love your houses. That house is perfect. Really, it is perfect. The floor plan, design, the accessories. Perfect. I loved the birds in the morning. We had fabulous weather. The dinners were wonderful. Especially the one at the plantation (Gaylord’s). Really, one of the best dinners we have ever had. It was a gorgeous warm evening and we had the best time. It is very hard to be back here knowing that winter is around the corner. Please know, that was one of the best vacations of our lives. We really loved it. CB and GB, Colorado, 10/14/05
A wonderful home base for our family vacation. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for a great visit to Kauai! Thank you. AH, Anchorage, Alaska 9/6/05
Both houses turned out to be a wonderful vacation headquarters! Terrific location and we loved the layout of both houses! We will be back! SG, Thousand Oaks, CA 8/14/05
