We are so grateful to have met so many guests from all walks of life who, for one reason or another, have chosen to stay with us at Koili Point. We know we are fortunate and just want to say mahalo nui!

You may not know this but many of the amenities and just normal things you may take for granted in the houses came from guest's suggestions: hooks, bird stickers on the windows, kitchen tools...

I'm a bachelor and I can't even imagine what the houses would look like without your help. Again mahalo nui!

We are not a big franchise operation and have flexibility to do many things quickly so please keep the suggestions coming.

Finally, let me leave you with a Hawaiian word of the day: Mahalo -- which translates to "thank you."

Write me at koilipoint@gmail.com or go to https://www.airbnb.com/p/oceanfront-ac-pool to book at one of our two houses.

If there are topics you would like to know more about in future blogs, kindly let me know. Mahalo! Len
