"A Dream of Paradise""Canoe House was the perfect home away from home - you thought of everything to make a traveler welcome! Your aloha and hospitality epitomize what we love about the islands!" Ray & Kimber from Taylor, SC "Guys. Your website is very helpful and frankly a nice change of pace from several sites that seem to discourage mainlanders from moving to the islands. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying paradise for the rest of us!" Jason "Mahalo for all that you've done to accommodate all our needs! I will be sure to recommend your place to everyone I know... Darrell & Vivienne, You're awesome people!!!" Stephanie from Long Beach, CA "This was a great place to stay, one I will definitely recommend! Mahalo!" Rosa from Las Vegas, NV "Two thumbs up. Mahalo!" Jay from Fort Bragg, CA "We loved the house." Kathy from Jones Mills, PA "Mahalo for allowing us to stay in your lovely vacation home - if we ever come to the Big Island again we would not think of staying anywhere else!" Ty and Rebecca from Maui "Thank you so much for making it so easy to stay here in Hawaii. Your pricing was really generous and helpful. And the house was a PERFECT place to stay. You pretty much thought of everything. I will recommend this to my friends." Patty from Los Angeles, CA "Mahalo! Mahalo! The Aloha of your hospitality made the cleanse an even better-supported and graceful experience." Sophia from Santa Rosa, CA "Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. Little did we know that when we came here that we would find 2 very good friends and for that we are leaving much richer than we came. Take care of yourselves. We will miss you all very much! You will have to come to Canada and visit us. (official invite!) Anne & Vic H. from Canada Mahalo for allowing us to rent your beautiful home. It was nice to come back from the Merrie Monarch competition to a nice cool home and talk story. The Kaleo Ohana from Oahu, HI We all had a wonderful time and can't wait to get back here next year (this time as your neighbor not your tenant). Mahalo for your hospitality and all the valuable information you provided us. We will certainly keep in touch and hope you do the same. The Reilling Ohana from New Jersey Thank you for welcoming us with your aloha spirit! We enjoyed staying here in the Canoe House - it's our new home away from home! We will definitely be back to see you guys again. Nicolette will be walking and talking by then and she'll be eating all the tasty fruits of the island. We'll miss you both very much! Gus, Valerie and Nicolette L. from Los Angeles, CA Aloha! This place was a little piece of heaven! Your accomodations were better than home; we are sad to leave. The experience - sights, tastes and sounds - will be memories to be kept forever! Thank you so much for letting us stay with you for the past week. Take care and if you come to Los Angeles there'll be a clean bed and cool drink waiting. May & Nano L. from Los Angeles, CA Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. You are so kind and loving. The best to you both. Louis G. from Ventura, CA We have very much enjoyed the accomodations here. This has been a very comfortable and spacious vacation retreat. We so much enjoy the beauty of God's creation in Hawaii. Hopefully, you will be seeing us again real soon! It was nice getting to know you and hearing about your move to the Big Island. Perhaps one day we'll be doing the same! Until then, keep in touch. Take care and God bless! Sandy & Bob N. from Birmingham, New Jersey Mahalo Vivienne and Darrell. We are very satisfied with our stay at Mango Bay Hawaii. We will be back again. You are very kind. Thank you!! I hope to see you again soon. Kazuyo, Hitomi, Chikage and Megumi from Japan Thanks for your hospitatily! We really enjoyed ourselves, and staying at your place was perfect! We felt comfortable and grew to love this part of the island, Hilo and your development. Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo for everything - your company, papayas, pineapple and all. Dennis, Fran, Gerardo & Gabriel G. from Cerritos, CA Thanks for the hospitality, home, and space you provided for us to experience during our cleanse! I appreciate your space and generosity! This was a fine place to relax and rejuvinate as we went through all our "stuff". You are awesome! Valerie and Donna from Ventura, CA Thank you both for your house visit so we could all get to know each other. You warm hospitality of picking me up at the airport was certainly far and beyond the call! The eminity's here are covered with every detail. It was good to have the security that anything we needed was available. I really enjoyed the rain water, it is such a soft water. Ken W. from Idaho Thank you for furnishing this vacation "home" like a home, blender, juicer, etc. Thank you again for a stay beyond words. Sharon from Idaho We enjoyed our stay here so much. Thanks so much for your great hospitality and kindness. You both were great! We will keep in touch and welcome you in our new home. Thanks again. Guy, Linda and Cam now living in Hilo, Hawaii Although we had lots of rain, we enjoyed our stay here very much. Your hospitality is outstanding and was essential for pleasant holidays. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to spend a great vacation here on Hawaii. Tim & Marion from Alamogordo, NM Thank you for the very nice "home away from home" experience at Mango Bay. Let us know if the coconut trees we planted are taking hold. Thank you for the first contributions toward our landscaping. See you next year! Aki & Laura from Maple Ridge, B.C. We have enjoyed living in your home! It's sooooo wonderful! Thanks for your help and thanks for being soooo nice always! Scott, Sarah, Hailey, Hunter and Kyle from North Carolina now living in Hawaii Thanks a lot for your hospitality. It's been very nice of you to open your place to family you've never met before and we did have a wonderful 2 day stay on the Big Island. The Chang family from Torrence, CA ) Click for larger image "We just wanted to say that we had a great experience staying at Canoe House. It really was a home away from home. The weather was very nice and we love your location. While we were here we drove up to the volcano for the day which was very accessible from this location. We also went to the water falls. Thank you for everything!" Lori and Leslie A. from Corona, CA August, 2006 "Aloha! We wanted to let you know how comfortable we felt at your home. We had a great time, and already know that we will miss this paradise. We wish we had more time. Mahalo! P.S. It was Home Sweet Home. Best time ever, God Bless." Connie, Michael & Audrea M. from Downey, CA September, 2006 "Thank you for giving us a home away from home. We wish we could have stayed here longer, but now we know what happens when we wanted to extend and some lucky people got in ahead of us. It's beautiful here and so peaceful - we'll always remember our stay with you." Shirley O., September, 2006 "We came to visit our property we bought in Paradise Park. This was a great place to come and learn about the Puna area. We love Darrell & Vivienne, such Aloha and good hospitality for us to stay here. We also went to Yoga Oasis in Pahoa. It was great. We will tell all of our friends." Linda and Michael R. from Santa Cruz, CA September, 2006 |
