9/1/2009 Aloha! It was a delightful stay at the
Turtle House. We enjoyed the beautiful landscape, the luxuriant
foliage and of course the amenities and beauty of our cottage. It
was truly a paradise to wake up surrounding by palm trees and the birds.
Hope to renew this visit to the Volcano National Park in the near
future. Natalie Levine, Bruce & Eric Levine, Great Neck, New
York PS: Thanks to Beate and your hospitality!

Thanks for letting us stay in a lovely house. We had a great time hiking
in the Volcano National Park, enjoying the sunset at the end of Highway 130 and
Mauna Kea ( Stargazing was fantastic!). Thai restaurant is highly
recommended. Loveley curry! Hope to come back from UK/Germany at some
stage. Mahalo, Jo
8/9/09 Bea, we want to Thank you for giving us the chance to stay in
this warm cozy , lovely , sweet cottage. We are 6 friends coming all the
way from Italy and staying in this places made the journey absolute worth it.
This place is magic, the volcano, the plants, the nice smell of the flowers, the
sound of the wind, everything is magic. Maybe one day life will give us
the chance to come back to Hawaii... and in that case it will be a honor for us
to come back to your cottage! Thanks!! Mahalo... Aloha, Veronica
Dan, Robert & friends.
8/2/09 Hi "B" !... just wanted to thank you for a wonderful stay at
the Turtle House! The house was quaint, adorable, and cozy, and the
location was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I will definitely be gloating about our
stay in the rainforest for quite a while :-) The CDs and books were a
thoughtful touch, and the book of travel disasters was hilarious! The
flowers & turtle decor made us smile as well. Meeting the housekeeper and
her son was street , too! They were very sweet and helped us plan our trip
to the end of highway 130 to see the lava flow ( which was absolutely awesome,
by teh way). Our stay at the cute little Turtle House was much too
abbreviated though, and should I ever come back here, I'd love to stay again!
Much Thanks! Frea Mehta and Zarin Mehta, Iamshee Mehta, Allen Mehta,
and Lolita Mills.

6, 2009 Thank you so much for opening this house, it was such a nice
place to stay for 4 days. We took a Volcano hike, saw lava flow into the
ocean , and drove around Hilo. We went swimming in the hot ponds and the
tide pools, which was loads of fun as well. This house is so peaceful and
quiet, we enjoyed sitting outside and using the barbeque ( once or twice :-) ).
Thanks for an amazing stay! Serana KC, Helen Y. Fred C.

December 10, 2008 Thank you for your wonderful Turtle House, Bea!
This has been a terrific base of operations to explore the volcano. the
Lava Flows at the seashore and Hilo and points north. We love the warmth &
convenience of Turtle House. You and your family have created a wonderful
home - a real treasure. Mahalo, The Crawford Jones family, Alan, Eileen
& Camila.
My wife and I stayed
at Turtle House for 12 days and enjoyed it thoroughly, from waking up in
upstairs bedroom surrounded on all 4 sides by green rain forest to the
prompt response if we running low on coffee or anything else.
It's quite secluded but still within a good walk of "downtown" Volcano,
such as it is. Appliances, showers, bathrooms all worked
well, and the living room was very comfortable for sitting and reading.
The lanai, too, when the sun warmed it. Enjoyed the stock of
Hawaiian music CDs.
