"Thank you Thomas! We must have said it a dozen times a day here: " We are in paradise" Hideaway Bay has it all- from the plush bedrooms to the spacious living room and gourmet kitchen, to its warm thoughtful host. And the home is set on one of the most spectacular stretches of one of the most beautiful islands on earth…a place where the ocean is warm and aquamarine, the sweet fragrance of Plumeria fills the air, and you wake up each morning incredibly happy to be alive." - Deborah & Robert, San Francisco, Ca

"The spirit of this magical place pervades everything that happens here, all we do and say. Thank you for thinking of absolutely everything so that we need think of nothing but relaxation & each other. We grilled & took picnics to Tunnels Beach, sat in bed with pineapple/passion fruit smoothies & looked at the ocean, hiked down to the beach, jogged around the neighborhood & then, exhausted & blissful, took in the very best view of all, from the Jacuzzi tub. Thank you!" -JC & MF, Cambridge, Ma

"Thank you for making us feel so very comfortable on our honeymoon. There is no other place on earth like this! Thank you also for giving us the opportunity to extend our stay a few extra days- just what we needed. You only live once and therefore we should enjoy it!! I wish we could wake up to this beautiful home and island everyday!" -Matt & Karen Hill, Pacifica, Ca

"Hideaway Bay and its most worthy steward represent all that is good in Hawaii. The views, the sunsets, the sunrises, the waves crashing, the peace & the solitude, the hospitality & so much more. They are all here to enjoy. We are grateful for the chance to take it all in. Mahalo & until we meet again. Aloha!" -Ron & Kay, Marietta, Ga

"We had a great stay, we even got a Hawaiian x-mas tree. The weather & surf was great for the entire time. This is a great place to stay if you like surfing. There are many great surf spots and beaches within 15 min. drive. Wish we could wake up to this view every morning we like it so much, we are looking at real estate for our own place. Mele Kaliki Maka!" -Bart & Heather, Santa Barbara, Ca

"Kauai is our favorite place in the world, so finding and staying in Hideaway Bay made it even more special. Thomas, you're a thoughtful & kind host & we really appreciated that. …we had a fabulous time! How could you not love this place?" - Jack & Lindsay, San Rafael, Ca

"Incredible stay at an incredible home hosted by an incredible caretaker who set the stage for us from the moment we drove through the gates. With fresh flowers we picked daily and the unbelievable vistas from the rooms. We loved the special touches, the torch lights, the Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. Finding the beach was well worth the 10 min effort. It's a beach to fulfill anyone's fantasy of a true tropical getaway. We will return!" - Jack, Dom & Andre, San Diego, Ca

"Thank you Thomas for caring about our comfort and providing us the means to live like home." -Connie & Dave, Laguna Niguel, Ca

"We feel so blessed to have been able to stay in this beautiful home. This is our first visit to Kauai & it was everything we had hoped for. I loved waking up to a cool breeze through the screen door, walking down to a virtually private beach & watching the sunrise over the ocean, pure heaven. Thank you so much!" -John & Brandy, Sonora, Ca

"Thank You! Thank You! What a magical experience you have provided here! The house is a jewel. I didn't want to leave for days, and was so happy to return home after days of incredible excursions on this beautiful island. The kitchen is a masterpiece; producing one amazing cooking experience after another-and many whale sightings from the kitchen sink! The highlight of each day of my stay was the Jacuzzi tub. Jets off, glass of wine watching the sunset was the ultimate experience- complete with songbirds, breeching whales & colorful clouds above the mountains. Magical!! Thank you! Thank you!" -Jayanti & Tom, Fort Collins, Co

"We have had a great time. Great view & lots of birds! I really enjoyed leaving the house open all day to the breeze. Early morning was the best time of the day. Thanks!" - Milton & Amy, Tuscaloosa, Al

"Dear Thomas- You might have to buy another guest book by the time we are finished!! This place is magical to us. It's a place where you wake up to magnificent beauty, to the sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks, subsiding and resuming in rythematic form; it is also the place we learned we would spend the rest of our lives together. Love wanders about the house, about the land, the sky, and the ocean. Thank you for being a gracious host. It was great having you nearby…you were accommodating, kind, and yet almost invisible. We will meet again." Mahalo, Andrea.

"I am the surprise (future mother-in-law). I've been here 6 days and have greeted the North Pacific each day in such wonderment I will never ever, ever forget. Mark Twain in 1860 describes my sentiment so preciously I will share it: ' No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but this one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as this one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same.' It has been truly comfortable and amazing. Thank you to Greg, my daughter's future husband. May God bless them- they both deserve it." -Paula

"Tough to follow! I have never taken more showers in my life. Do yourself a favor and take one outside first thing every morning! (Happy Hour isn't a bad time either) Thomas Thank You! I'm so glad we added a week to our trip. I can only say this has been magical! Paint some, sing some, dance some, take pictures even if it doesn't seem important to someone else! Take it all in! If you are a guest here, you are blessed; it doesn't get better! Mahalo!" -Greg, Sunny San Diego, Ca.
(Greg and Andrea got engaged during their stay; Greg surprised Andrea by flying her mother, Paula, out for part of the stay)

"Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home. We enjoyed every minute…the Bay, the sunsets, swimming, snorkeling, surfing, hiking…don't miss the helicopter ride. We especially enjoyed the Albatross! Our first visit to Kauai, it sure won't be our last." -Mike & Linda, Bethesda, Md
