Hale Pohaku

"Aloha Joyce! I got your newsletter today and remembered I never emailed you after our Kauai trip. Cute newsletter, by the way. We had a fabulous vacation, definitely an incredible journey. The hale pokahu (or pohaku was it?) was amazing! Thanks for the recommendation. It was indeed perfect for our family gathering. The pool and the yard were wonderful for the kids. Having the cottages so close was nice. The house and cottages were beautifully decorated and appointed. We really didn’t want to leave. Now, I always say that, but this time was probably the hardest to leave. My kids are still asking daily when we are going back. The location was perfect. We did happy hour at Brenneke’s more than once! And, Erin and Carol’s cute little green house two doors up was great, too. I think they preferred being a few yards away from the family. :) And, your list of things to do was so nice to have. We ate at Casa de Amici for our anniversary dinner (Yummy), went to that protected beach past the Hyatt for a morning swim and were the only ones there! We checked out your favorite beach on the North side with the river. How cool! We had Dave’s sister’s 50th birthday party at the house and hired musicians to play for the party. They were Tommy and Malia, and Dave found them by calling the Hyatt. They were perfect for the event, blending right in with the crowd. They did some traditional Hawaiian music and requests. She even taught us some hula. Our boys are definitely hooked. I imagine we will go in another couple of years. Thanks Joyce! Anne Stuart " - Anne Stuart, Pasadena California, 2007-04-09
