Notice of unit 176 remodel

Aloha,

Just received this information that Unit 176 is going to do a renovation.   This is just and FYI for owners that are in neighboring units as you may want to advise your direct rentals before arrival.   Both front desks will also advise guests on check in.  

"Unit 176 has provided all necessary documents for the renovation scheduled for 10-2-17; the renovation will take about two and a half weeks. The renovation will consist of floor tile removal, new tile shower, and cabinet replacement. Please notify your guest that during the tile removal process, elevated noise levels will be experienced between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM from 10-2-17 to 10-9-17. After the tile is removed, noise levels will decrease and the tile installation process will begin. "

We all know how important it is for owners to upgrade.  I am happy to hear of someone upgrading and doing so through the proper channels.      If anyone has any questions please let me know.

'Ohana Reunion Photos and survey results

Barbara Siverts unit #139, Chair of the 'Ohana Reunion, wanted me to share this link with owners. This was a fun event and the photos show just that.  The 'Ohana Reunion was a great opportunity for owners to get together outside of the meetings and enjoy things to do at Kiahuna and Kauai.  It was also a great way to include family and friends that share the love of Kiahuna and Kauai.

 A big Mahalo to Barbara for setting this all up and to everyone who participated.

 Aloha,
Denise

Parade of Homes Tour

                            Thank everyone who participated in the Parade of Homes Tour on May 9th. We had 5 units that were on tour and many owners walked around to see all of the units.     The Parade of Homes is something that both Castle and Outrigger work together on to showcase units in the two rental programs.   We do it every May so keep it in mind for next year if you have a unit you want to show off or if you want to see what your neighbors have done.  It is a great way to get remodeling and redecorating ideas.     I have already started making a list of things I want to do to redecorate.   Poor Alan is probably the only owner that isn't excited about the tour.   I always get a lot of ideas after I see the units.   :)
                            Take a look at the photos below and see what other owners have done.

Aloha,
Denise
