" Our week have b coming to an end and we'll be sorry to leave Zen Villa. It has been a confortable week-The bed is confy and the furninshings practical + beautiful.We came to relax and snorkel and that we did! We snorkeled at Kuilima Cove(Turtle Bay Hilton),3 tables,,Waymea Bay,Electric Beach( from a Ko"Olina sail trip),and Ko"Olina Lagoon # 3(The most disappointing-few fish poor visibility).Our (favorite and probably the best snorkeling we've had in Hawaii): Shark's Cove!We went there 3 different days,tons of great variet fish,great to photograph,no sharks! Not really a beginner snorkel but those  with experience will appreciate! One day we saw an octopus  and 2 days we saw squid-apparently oval squid,about 10-15" long,just hanging(sleping!) No turtles there,but a criple oct Waimea Bay + half-dozen at the spot off Electric Beach and spinner dolphings there too!! We enjoyed a great swim at Sunset Beach on July 4th after the paddling + stand up paddle race set off for Waimea Bay(4 miles!).That was a cool stght! 500 paddlers! Got some great fruit and veggies at the Farmers Market in Waialua.One night we drove onto the end of the  road for a great view back to Haleiwa. Food in town:Good burgers at Grass Skirt Grill right at the end of the drive,breakers and Cholos in the Marketplaceto the left,and Killer Tacos. Aoki's Shave Ice was great-be sure to have it on ice cream + with a cream splash! Brain freeze! Off to Kailua for a few days before C & D's wedding on saturday!  Thanks again!"

"Our expectations of this house were high before arriving in Hawaii.But after the first step into the garden we knew that this is the palce to be and to enjoy our big family vacation. After three weeks we are sad to leave the place that became our second home.Thanks to Tatiana we also learned about Bikram Yoga which Diana enjoyed a lot.Our bodies and minds are again purified.....The Zen Villa is a sucess.Thank you all"  Nicoli,Diana,Leandro Andreas.Swissland,Zurich.Coral House.5-26 octuber.2010 From the guset book
