A million thank yous for your thoughtfulness in
providing your guest 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.
We really enjoyed our stay here in Kauai. We did a lot of snorkeling,
mostly at Tunnels, and we saw turtles and of course lots of beautiful
fishes. We went to Limihuli Gardens where we heard a bit about Hawaiian
culture. Our tour guide was great and we listened to his stories and
legends about Kauai and got to learn lots about the plants here. This
should be something that your guests should do. It is really worth
it!!!
We also took a trip with Na Pali Coast Catamarans starting in Hanalei
down Kauai’s breathtaking Na Pali Coast. We had the perfect
day guided by dolphins, turtles, etc. We will never forget these spectacular
views . . . up and under the water while snorkeling.
Get your vegetables at the Farmers Market, the sweet corn and the
mangos, papayas and pineapples are great. Thanks, Sylvia for mentioning
it in your very detailed and informative Guest Guidebook. 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.

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.

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.
