We came here to enjoy peace and beauty and certainly found them. Thank you and best wishes to all who come to your Tower.
Peter and Rosie W., Albuquerque, New Mexico - November 2007
The only difficult thing about staying here is having to say good-bye to this magnificent island and your wonderful house. We have really enjoyed staying here on the north side of the island. Not only is it beautiful, it seems far less crowded than the rest of the island. We will definitely stay here again when we have the chance to return. Thank you again for your hospitality.
Ray & Barbara B., Salt Lake City, Utah - May 2007
What a wonderful week we have had in paradise! The beauty of this island fills us with awe. Thank you for sharing your most special home with us. You've thought of everything; so we could relax and not be concerned with the details of life maintenance. Truly the hospitality of the islands is here in this magnificent tower. We hiked, swam, watched sunrises and sunsets and enjoyed the daily show out the windows. What a spectacular 25th anniversary this has been, every moment of it. Our senses and spirits have been filled and renewed. Sad to leave; joyful for having so rich an experience; grateful for all of it.
Judy and Pete O., Claremont, California - May 2007
We have had a lovely week staying here. Great location. Our girls enjoyed playing Mastermind and the other board games and watching movies in the evening, while the parents relaxed upstairs with wine and views. Thank you for sharing your lovely property.
Gayna and Jonathan W. - January 2007
We had a wonderful time staying here. Explored the entire island, hiked all over the place, slept late, relaxed at the pool, swam at Anini Beach, ate whatever we wanted and didn't get fat!
Dean and Hannah Rand, Prince Williams Sound, Alaska - January 2007
We both enjoyed staying in your Tower very much. It has fantastic views on all sides and is very comfortable. Thank you for access to your computer and the internet as they allowed us to keep a journal of our vacation and to keep in touch through email. We look forward to coming back, and we know just where we will stay!
David and Dawn W., Newport News, VA - December 2006
Kauai is so beautiful and the people are wonderful. We have been to Kauai four times now and normally stay in a time-share. We are so happy we found your place for this trip. It was so much better than staying in a time-share! We loved your home. All the personal touches made us feel at home. We'll definitely stay here again!
Linda and Joe S., Chicago, IL - November 2006
Thank you so much for making our vacation in Kauai so memorable. It felt so good to come "home" each day to such a well-equipped, cozy place where we could relax and plan our next outing. We're already talking about a return visit. It doesn't get any better than this!
J. Lacey - May 2006
We're leaving paradise today. What a glorious time we've had. The snorkeling, the hiking -- every experience on this island took our breath away. Our list of things to do is still so long, and our time us up! We swam, kayaked, catamaraned, hiked, flew, went to hidden waterfalls, jumped off of cliffs, saw schools of spinning porpoises, and swam with turtles. At the end of the day we'd return to your welcoming tower. It felt like coming home. You've thought of everything. It is so comfortable and has all the amenities one could want. Our daughter was thrilled with her own room downstairs complete with TV, and most importantly, your Dusty Strings harp! What a thrill for a 16-year-old harpist to be given the opportunity to play your instrument! We'll be back! Our adventure here is far from over.
Kathy, Keith and Abby H., Houston, TX - July 2003
Thank you for allowing us the luxury of staying in your Tower. It is by far the best place we have stayed throughout our many trips to the islands. We appreciate all of the amenities -- good appliances, extra towels and beach equipment! It really feels like living in a tree house. Our daughter loved having her own room and place to play, and naturally, the "lagoon-like" pool! Thank you for sharing your delightful home with us. We enjoyed every minute, and enjoyed listening to your wonderful CD collection and watching many of the DVDs.
Paula, Richard and Alexandra K., Ontario, Canada - July 2003
A million thank-yous for your thoughtfulness in
providing your guests with everything possible to make us feel at home!
Your beautiful Tower is the most comfortable place we’ve stayed
at since we’ve been coming to Kauai over the past many, many
years.
We spent just about everyday at the beautiful beaches nearby. We spent
one day up at the Canyon and then to Salt Pond Beach (great for kids),
Ha’ena Beach and the one at the Princeville Hotel had beautiful
reefs. At low tide, our 6-year-old was able to enjoy seeing Moray
Eel, Moorish Idal, Butterfly fish, and even an octopus. Large sea
turtles – accidentally sat on one!
We also enjoyed listening to the videos on the harp. Being a very
musical family, you have definitely stirred our interest in buying
a harp and taking lessons. Such beautiful music. Thank you for the
computer station. It was nice to be able to e-mail our family and
friends at home. We’ve had a wonderful time. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for your generosity –
you have provided us with all the comfort needs so we are free to
explore and enjoy this beautiful island. We are first-timers here,
having spent most of our Hawaiian trips on Maui. Your attention to
detail both decoratively and practically contributed to a spectacular
11 days. Thanks again.

First of all thank you so very much for letting
us stay in your beautiful home. You put so much love into every little
detail in your home. We didn’t miss a thing cause your home
is so well equipped. A lot of luxury that makes life easier that we
don’t know back in Europe.
While writing this we are listening to your harp music. Very relaxing.
I will get one of your CDs because I’m a foot reflexologist
back home in Amsterdam. My clients will love your music.You put
so much effort in everything that people feel at home at your place.
Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts for letting us stay in
your home.
S. family - Amsterdam, Netherlands & Frankfurt, Germany July 2002
We have had a wonderful visit here.
We have been to this island 5 times and this was the best time ever.
Your house is so charming, clean, and has lots of personality. All
the small details: books, CDs, DVDs, and your magic touch have converted
this place into a dream home. Everything you need is at your finger
tip. You have thought of everything . . . nothing was left out. For
once we didn't feel like we had fotgotten anything. We enjoyed snorkeling,
hiking and kayaking. Evenings here have been very relaxed. We watch
World Cup games and kept up on our e-mail (though not work-related
stuff!). Our teenagers enjoyed having their own space. I do lots of
traveling in my line of work and I am fortunate enough to stay at
the best hotels available. But let me tell you, you blow them away
. . . they do not even come close. Let me congratulate you on a job
well done. This is what I call pride of ownership and you must be
proud to endorse it by calling it Sylvia's Tower.
Mary & Simon R. - El
Cajon, California - June 2002
As we pack up to leave this paradise, we thank you
for everything. Your tower is beautiful and you’ve thought of
everything to make this a home away – from everything! The beaches
are beautiful, the water is warm, the mountains are spectacular! Snorkeling
is great at the beach below. We saw lots of fish: a little black moray
eel, a very large puffer fish, trumpet fish, sea urchins. Great are
for collecting Ni’ihau Shells, too!

The house is great, and every detail
makes you feel at home. Thanks to that we even really enjoyed the
2 days of rainy weather we had. Kevin S. - Paris, France -
