March Pond Tips
March pond tips to start preparing for spring!
It's spring and the temperature is changing! We had a VERY mild and warm winter, but it's time for you to prepare your pond for the warmer months ahead. We are happy to help you shop for all the pond supplies you need to get your backyard in shape for spring and summer.
While every koi pond and water garden has different needs, there are some general preparations you should make as spring approaches. So here are some pond tips to get started.
- Add beneficial bacteria. Remember beneficial bacteria helps pond filters control algae and algae blooms in ponds and koi and fish pools by reducing fish waste and pond scum.
- Maintain salt level between 2.0 – 2.5 ppt.
- Add one dose of Melafix
- Back flush filter media every two weeks.
- If you shut down UV and filter for winter, turn them on.
- Check chemical levels.
- Begin feeding your fish once the water temperature in your pond returns to a consistent 50 degrees
Keep in mind spring is on the horizon, so it's a good time to invest in a variety of pond supplies you will need in the coming months. It's better to have them on hand than to find out you're missing the supplies you need when you are in the middle of cleaning your pond or trying to "de-winterize" it.
2014 Pond Contest Voting
Welcome to our 2014 Pond Contest Voting. We can't believe this is already our fourth annual pond contest. We received some beautiful photos of some fantastic ponds. Take a close look, it may just spur an idea about a pond for yourself!
Vote for your 3 favorite ponds. Pond Contest Voting is open June 17-24 2013. Winners will be announced on Facebook and our website on June 27th.
Pond Contest Prizes include:
1st Place – Gift Certificate valued at $200
2nd Place – Gift Certificate valued at $100
3rd Place – Gift Certificate valued at $50
Please carefully look at all the ponds, then vote at the bottom of the page for your 3 favorite ponds.

October Landscape Tips
Wow! Fall is here. We hope you all survived the crazy rain & wind that bombarded us over the last couple weeks. Hopefully Mother Nature has that out of her system & we can get a little reprieve. Or at least enough of a break that we can get cleaned up from the storm. We lost some branches during the storm so, we're doing a lot of clean up to our grounds. There are also leaves to be raked, water features to winterize, drainage to improve. We've got projects to wrap up before winter hits! Need some October landscape tips? Here are some we'd like to share with you.
- Cut back perennials.
- Plant bulbs.
- Use newspaper or cardboard covered by mulch to discourage winter and spring annual weeds or remove a lawn area for conversion to garden beds. For conversion, work in the paper and mulch as organic matter once the lawn grass has died.
- If needed, improve soil drainage needs of lawns before rain begins.
- To suppress future pest problems, clean up annual flower beds by removing diseased plant materials, overwintering areas for insect pests; mulch with manure or garden compost to feed the soil and suppress weeds.
- Store garden supplies and fertilizers in a safe, dry place out of reach of children.
September Landscape Tips
September has arrived! Kids are back in school, fall sports are in full swing and we're back into "normal" schedules. We love this time of the year in Oregon! For many of us, this is why we live here. September can bring cool mornings, warm afternoons and beautiful sunsets! Awww… fall in the Northwest!
Maintaining a full-time job, running kids around to sports practices & games and keeping everyone fed keeps our schedules really full. Which can make it difficult to remember what you're supposed to do with your landscape. So, here are some September Landscape tips to help you out.
- Check soil moisture levels through December
- Divide hosta and daylilies
- Plant fall flowers like pansies
- Complete fall lawn seeding projects
- Aerate lawns
Here are a few extra tips…
- Remember when purchasing bulbs, the size of the bulb is directly correlated to the size of the flower yet to come in spring.
- Plant or transplant woody ornamentals and mature herbaceous perennials. Fall planting of trees, shrubs and perennials can encourage healthy root growth over the winter.
- Stop irrigating your lawn after Labor Day to suppress European crane fly populations.
Pond Tips for June
Need some pond tips for June? We've got them. Summer has arrived and it is time to start changing some of the maintenance activities.
Having a Koi pond at your home is undoubtedly the quickest way to reduce stress and noise that you have to deal with on a regular basis. This peaceful and quiet place is essentially a man-made paradise. Apart from eliminating stress and tension from your mind, a Koi pond is a perfect way of adding beauty to your backyard or any outdoor space. However, it requires some effort to keep it in its healthiest and most attractive condition.
Here are a few other pond tips? Look no further…
- Do not start feeding your pond fish until the pond water is at least 50°F.
- Add beneficial bacteria. Remember beneficial bacteria removes ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and organic debris such as dead leaves, uneaten fish food, fish waste etc., that cause water clarity problems.
- Maintain salt level between 2.5 – 3.0 ppt.
- Switch to higher protein food 2-4 times daily.
- Back flush filter media weekly.
- Minimum 10% weekly water change.
- Check chemical levels.
Whether you have a water garden, pondless water features, large koi pond, or two acre lake, Creative Visions Landscapes can help get what you want out of that body of water and enjoy your pond. We carry many different pond supplies including; pumps, filters, skimmers, liner/underlayment, UV supplies, water treatments, aquatic plants, koi and other fish and fish food. So, if you have a question about your pond, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Landscape Tips for June
Summer has arrived! With an early arrival to summer, you're sure to want our landscape tips for June. By the way… What happened to the Rose Festival curse? We aren't sure what to think, but we are loving this beautiful sunshine!
Now that summer is on us, things will start getting dry. Be sure your lawn is getting enough water. As a general rule, you want to get at least an inch of water per week to keep a good green and healthy lawn.
June is still early enough to prune some plants if needed, so you can clean up some plants or do full pruning if needed. Planting new plants can still be done, you may just have to water a little more to keep them bright and plenty healthy.
Just a reminder: We landscape all through the year, every month we are planting new plants, the only difference is during hot dry weather we have to water more. Need some landscaping help? Give us a call.
Here are a few landscape tips for June
- Spray weeds
- Allow bulb foliage to completely yellow and then cut back to the ground
- Prune spring-flowering shrubs and trees
- Make sure raised beds receive enough water for plants to avoid drought stress
- Monitor azaleas, primroses and other broadleaf ornamentals for adult root weevils.
Landscape Tips for April
Happy April!
We hope you're as excited about the upcoming springtime as we are! The trees and flowers are starting to bloom! Spring around Creative Visions Landscapes is always fun. There is so much work to do. We figure you might need a little help with some landscape tips.
- Apply a slow-release fertilizer to perennials beds
- Cut back any perennials not trimmed in the fall
- Apply a soil acidifier around the base of holly and boxwood
- Add mulch or bark to beds if needed
- Complete lawn seeding projects
- Watch for aphids near the perennials
- Divide perennials (now or next month)
- Plant annuals (now or next month depending on weather)
Second Annual Beer and Wine Tasting Event A Success!
On Saturday, July 21st we had our Second Annual Beer and Wine Tasting Event. We chose for this event to benefit the USS Ranger Foundation. They are working to save the USS Ranger through public and private partnerships and bring it to Fairview, Oregon on the beautiful Columbia River as a museum, military memorial and civic center.
Many generous individuals and local companies including: Creative Visions Landscapes and Water Garden Center, Francis Xaviers, Gresham Ford, i4 Marketing, Jazzy Bagels, Nancy's Floral, Night Owl Custom Apparel, Ron Pompel, USS Ranger Foundation donated raffle items. The proceeds of the raffle tickets and 20% of all purchases were donated to The USS Ranger Foundation.
Thanks to our great customers & the generous companies we exceeded our fundraising goal. We will be presenting the funds to the Ranger Foundation on Friday, July 27th at the Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce meeting at RiverView Community Bank.
Best Burger Gournet Food Cart catered the event, and the food was plentiful & mouth-watering. Skyland Pub conducted the beer tasting, which included a special Ranger Beer. Alder Tree Vineyard conducted the wine tasting, which everyone really enjoyed as well! The event was a real hit and we are already working on our Forth Annual Wine Tasting Event for the summer of 2013.

Above the Law
In the spring of 1930, Millicent Hearst sat beside Benito Mussolini in the Italian dictator's Alfa Romeo on a high-speed drive from Rome to the newly excavated town of Ostia. A nervous but excited Millicent pleaded for her driver to slow down. "You're breaking the law," was the only threat she could muster up. "I am the law," Mussolini responded. In a more tranquil setting, resting on the steep stone bleachers of a 12 B.C. amphitheater in Ostia, Millicent fell under II Duce's legendary spell. Unaccompanied by security guards, Mussolini spoke without airs to a group of fawning tourists. One stranger asked if he might take a photograph, and the Italian leader calmly obliged. Another tourist gave Mussolini a bouquet of violets, which he accepted and then gallantly handed to Millicent.
As Millicent informed her readers in an article she subsequently wrote for the Hearst newspapers, she was enthralled by Mussolini's command of his country, and she communicated her thoughts in almost romantic terms. Her view of Mussolini's dramatic flair and his executive skills was one shared by many at the time, including well-known businessmen Otto Kahn and Joseph Kennedy; Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University; and Amedeo Giannini, of the Bank of America, backer of the Hearst Corporation and Metro-Goldwyn Mayer, among others. "Mussolini is a great executive," Millicent wrote, "a true leader of men and the great

Mahalo, Martyn! Hope you can return soon!
Excellent accommadationTracey T. from Northampton United Kingdom, 25. April 2016 Stayed for 16 days in March, 2016
I cannot recommend the service of Captain Cook enough, we were greeted at our apartment by very cheerful and helpful rep, everything about the process was easy, The accommadation was clean and they did supply everything you could of wanted. The security were polite and helpful. The beach was a short walk away and access to the main Interstates was easy. Will definitely look at using Captain Cook again
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate25. April 2016
What a great review, Tracey! Mahalo! We work hard to provide great accommodations and service and it's great to hear we're on target! Hope you can visit again soon!
Everything you could need was provided!Joan S. from Richmond Canada, 24. March 2016 Stayed for 6 days in March, 2016
We've stayed at many condos and villas over the years but never has there been so many extras provided! The kitchen was well-stocked with the standard dishes and cutlery but also lots of bowls, wine glasses, pots and pans. Salt and pepper, coffee filters, toilet paper, paper towels, bath soap, dishwasher and clothes washer detergents and more! Also discovered there were beach chairs, beach towels and snorkelling gear! Great location on the canal, only a couple of blocks from the beach! Jessica greeted us and is wonderful! We highly recommend this 2-bed, 2-full bathroom unit!
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate24. March 2016
A BIG Mahalo from everyone at Captain Cook Resorts for the great review and recommendation, Joan! We love and appreciate the feedback!
A Week in ParadiseSusan G. from United States, 02. February 2016 Stayed for 7 days in January, 2016
We had a wonderful week. We had stayed a couple of years ago in 917 so we knew what to expect. Was great then, so we chose it again. Parking included and wifi! Perfect for two couples. Planning to return and will stay there again. Yes, an upscale hotel on front beach would have been nice, but with my budget, this was absolutely perfect!
Excellent family condoDianne H. from Brisbane Australia, 31. December 2015 Stayed for 10 days in December, 2015
From the moment we arrived we were amazed at the facilities available within the condo from beach chairs and umbrella, boogy board, childrens sand toys, heaps of fluffy white towels and beach towels. The manager Jessica was extremely pleasant and helpful and ensured that if we had any problems to ring day or night. We had everything we needed in the apartment to cater for ourselves (seniors) and our adult daughter and teenage granddaughter. Whilst it is away from the beach but an easy walk, we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the security staff looked after us all and were helpful. There is a food hall across the road that sells everything needed for a self contained condo and the roof top offers the best view of the island. Across the road from the golf course and easy access to bus and sight seeing pick up points. Very happy with the accommodation and the price. Would stay again.5
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate04. January 2016
Mahalo, Dianne, for the great review and recommendation! We work hard to offer great accommodations and service, and we're so glad your stay was enjoyable. We'll be sure to pass on your comments about property manager, Jessica. She's a great asset to the Captain Cook Resorts team!
Nice RentalSouth San Francisco United States, 07. December 2015 Stayed for 4 days in December, 2015
We just got back from staying at the Fairway Villa and loved it. The location is great with in walking distance of all major attractions in Waikiki. The apartment was perfect size for our group of 4 adults. Jessica was great and very easy to deal with. At one point we were locked out of the apartment (we had requested a late checkout and the door code no longer worked) and within minutes Jessica had the door open for us. The property was clean and they had beach chairs, snorkles, and a boggie board you could use. The only thing that we thought would be nice to have would be a cooler so you can bring drinks to the beach and they would stay cold. With out question I would stay here again.

Mahalo, Jeannine, for the wonderful review and recommendation! We hope you're able to plan another visit soon!
Our home in WaikikiCroydon Park Australia, 26. November 2015 Stayed for 3 days in November, 2015
We are a family of three with a two year old toddler and this place was perfect for our stay in Waikiki. The entire condo was clean, and was spacious enough for us all. The beach towels, beach mats and sand toys were a welcome touch. It's in a great location - a five to ten min walk to the beach, Food Pantry was down the road and public transport was super close. A great option for families who need more than one hotel room, at a reasonable price. Would stay here again when we visit Waikiki.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate27. November 2015
Mahalo, Leslie, for the great review and recommendation! We're glad your family enjoyed their stay at Fairway Villa and hope you can return soon!

This is our second year to stay in Fairway #817 and loved it. Great location, amenities and free parking is great. As much as we love the unit, it might be time to consider new beds. ;)

Mahalo, Bret! We hope you're able to plan another visit soon! New beds will be in place the first of the new year.

Perfect LocationLauren B. from Christchurch New Zealand, 02. August 2015 Stayed for 14 days in July, 2015
The location of this apartment was perfect. It was a safe area and it was very handy having the grocery store at the end of the street.The facilities were great and it had everything that you needed. We came with our two teeenagers and we found we had enough room and they loved the pool area. Only downside was the traffic noise at night but we were aware of this and had brought earplugs. We also felt that the apartment could do with a freshen up paint wise and the bathrooms redone. But all and all for the price it was great.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate04. August 2015
Mahalo for taking the time to post a review, Lauren! We're glad your family enjoyed their stay at Fairway Villa and hope to see you again soon!

This condo was perfect. It had everything we needed and then some. Everything was as advertised. The living room seemed slightly smaller than pictured upon arrival but proved to be a non issue in the long run. We would definitely stay here again!

People from McFarlandMc Farland United States, 10. July 2015 Stayed for 14 days in June, 2015
We enjoyed our stay very much. The unit was is
good shape. We could not use the outside patio
because of work being done but that was unforeseen. The air conditioning did not seem to keep the main room very cool. Everything else was great.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate13. July 2015
Mahalo! As promised, we issued you a discount due to the closed lanai. We hope you'll give us a call when you're planning your next visit!
Rental ReviewSummer Side United States, 12. June 2015 Stayed for 14 days in May, 2015
We enjoyed the apartment very much. Everything was as expected. Oh yes, The bathreem had mildew in the tub area.
One correction: Summerside is all one word.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate13. June 2015
Mahalo for the nice review, Jean, and for notifying us of the mildew. It is being remedied. Not sure what you were referencing by "summerside" however!
Wonderful WeekMargaret H. from Hamilton Canada, 22. May 2015 Stayed for 7 days in April, 2015
My husband, myself and another couple just spent a wonderful week in this condo. It was close to the beach, shopping and transportation. It had everything we needed....all we had to do was bring our clothes and toiletries . From the time we made the reservation up to and including when we met Jessica at check-in, everyone at Captain Cook was friendly and informative. Hope this unit is available for our next visit.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate09. June 2015
Mahalo for posting this great review and recommendation, Margaret! We hope you will visit us again! You can book up to a year in advance, so let us know if you'd like us to reserve your dates!
Grandma's Get-AwayDoddie H. from West Linn United States, 29. April 2015 Stayed for 7 days in April, 2015
There were four of us in our group, all women ages 52-65. We planned a fun Grandma's Get-Away. The 2-bedroom/2 bath condo worked well for us. It was a bit small and the pictures on the web-site made the place look much larger. However, we made it work. The bathrooms were a little moldy and did not have any ventilation. A fan would help with the moisture and odors. The 3 air-conditioners were very nice and all the beach supplies came in handy. Might add a small cooler. The location of the condo was good, we walked to the beach, shopping, breakfast, happy-hours and dinner almost every day. We actually only used the roof-top pool once. My only complaint about the location would be the traffic noise from the canal side. We heard sirens every day several times a day and were a little apprehensive to walk along the canal after dark. We heard people yelling from the street below several times after 1am.
I would recommend salt/pepper/sugar be supplied in the kitchen. We had to purchase salt and sugar. There was a pepper shaker in the cupboard. The salt was empty.
Also wish the lanai was a bit larger. It was difficult for all 4 of us to sit out there at the same time. Overall, the condo was well worth the price. Most of the security guards were friendly. There was only one that was rude when we asked him a question regarding getting a cab. He pointed to the sign above his desk indicating that we were not to ask him any questions regarding the condo. That wasn't what we were doing. I would recommend the condo to a friend.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate03. May 2015
Mahalo for the positive comments and recommendation! We also appreciate your suggestions. Yes, Waikiki can be noisy at times - it's a busy little city! The square footage of the condo is provided in the description as well as on the floor plan on our website.
Nice Home BaseJoseph B. from La Jolla United States, 20. April 2015 Stayed for 6 days in April, 2015
Found the location to be more than a plus. Enjoyed the clean efficiency of the condo with the pleasure of the rocking chairs on the lanai.

Jim F from Courtenay bcCourtenay Canada, 18. December 2014 Stayed for 32 days in November, 2014
The property was very neat and clean when we arrived. The location was good, a short walk to the beach and grocery shopping. It is on an emergency route, ambulance, fire etc, and therefore very noisy..
Despite the noise lever we had a very good stay in Paradise during a very windy month. Loved it

Aloha and Mahalo for the review! Waikiki can be a busy little city and can be noisy at times. So glad you enjoyed your stay - despite the noise!

Fairway Villa #817Dianne T. from Como Australia, 22. October 2014 Stayed for 7 days in September, 2014
Fairway villa #817 is a very compact condo in a perfect location. Close to everything. Having a week in Oahu before our cruise staying here was perfect . The washer & dryer an absolute bonus when your travelling.
There were four adults & we were comfortable. Another bonus is having the complimentary car space. We would suggest to look at putting in an airconditioner for the condo. Having one in the living area would cool the whole place.Just a suggestion. We are happy to recommend this villa & would certainly stay again . Dianne T
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate23. October 2014
Aloha and mahalo for sharing your comments about your recent stay. Glad you enjoyed the condo and having the washer/dryer for your use. After we emailed back and forth, I learned that you were aware of the window air conditioners in each room of the condo - but were suggesting the owner consider putting in a split air-conditioning system. We'll let them know of your suggestion. Thank you for your recommending this property to your friends! Your friends at Captain Cook Resorts
Paradise at the Fairway Villa-WaikikiBret W. from Fremont United States, 21. September 2014 Stayed for 5 days in September, 2014
Awesome experience. This is the way to go. For us, we are not into the hotel scene. We like to get out and experience the island and come back "home" at the end of the day. Renting a condo is like having your own Hawaiian getaway. My 20-something kids loved it. Fairway 817 was comfortable and inviting in every way. Clean, tastefully furnished, well apportioned with all kitchen, bathroom, etc. items you need. Great location--lovely view from the lanai, easy to get in and out by car, easy to walk to your favorite Waikiki sites, a grocery store at the end of the block. And the roofdeck was fantastic -- we BBQ'd one night under the stars with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki, and a beautiful sunset. We will be back !!

All the Comforts of Home in HawaiiRobin M. from Reno United States, 12. December 2013 Stayed for 7 days in December, 2013
Fairway Villa is a lovely condo that makes you feel at home. It had everything you could ever need to stay long term if needed. The balcony had two rocking chairs that we used every morning to watch the rowers on the Ali Wai canal, and all the people walking about. The location is central to everything in Waikiki. I'd stay there again the next time I have more that 2 people vacationing with me.

It is a quite good and peacefull location.Hideki S. from Yokohama Japan, 01. December 2013 Stayed for 10 days in November, 2013
Overall was good. It is amazing to keep such condition for over 40 years old property. But I have several points wish to improve . They are a air condition machines at each rooms. They are very old and noisy and not working well. TVA system is quite complicated and if vigor push some incorrect bottom of remote control, it is quite difficult to fix it and there was no manual and TIV program instruction. Sauna at roof is quite old and not working good. But overall impression is quite good! I hope some improvement and it is great,

Fairway Villa 817Paula B. from Edmond United States, 13. November 2013 Stayed for 10 days in October, 2013
This is a great condo we loved it. There's a mini convenience store about a block away it has a great bakery and has all the necessary essentials you may need. The condo was so well equipped even with a pineapple 's close to all the things you want to do. It's so much fun to seat on the lanai in the morning and watch people on Ala Wai Canal. If we ever have the opportunity to go back to Waikii we'll certainly stay here again.

Awesome Oahu Experience!Cheryl D. from Gravois Mills United States, 28. September 2013 Stayed for 4 days in September, 2013
The rental experience with Captain Cook rentals was so easy and painless. The rep that met us at the condo, Byron, was very helpful & pleasant. The condo was so very nice and comfortable...very homey feeling. Beds & linens were exceptional. The only problem we encountered was not being able to connect to Wi-Fi...kept saying it was an invalid password. We would definitely stay in this condo again and will recommend it to family & friends. Thank you!
Nice villa!Thomas B. from Lafayette United States, 17. August 2013 Stayed for 7 days in August, 2013
The unit worked great for a family of four. Short walk to Waikiki Beach. Grocery store across the street. Outstanding 360 degree views of Honolulu from the rooftop deck. Can't wait to go back!
Fairway VillaDelores Z. from Carson City United States, 22. May 2013 Stayed for 30 days in April, 2013
Cannot say enough about the staff at Captain Cook's, Paul and Byron both
are so helpful and caring. This is our 5th year of booking with Captain Cook in Oahu and would not use anyone else. If any problem arises with the unit they are right on top of the problem , also the office staff are more than helpful to work with you on getting the dates you need. We stayed a month this year and had a great time going to the beach and in the evenings using the bar-be-cues to cook dinner, then sitting on the
lanai watching the canoes on the canal. A wonderful location, and we met many of the Owners there and they are all friendly .
Again thanks to Paul , Bryan and Ingrid for all your help. See you next year.
Good location in WaikikiWellington New Zealand, 30. April 2013 Stayed for 5 days in April, 2013
The location of the apartment was excellent and a nice outlook over the canal and golf course, it's only negative was that it was quite a noisey spot (traffic noise), being only 9 floors up from three lanes of a busy road. . The pool on the rooftop made up for it for us, as was a quiet relaxing spot with fantastic views of Waikiki and not many people up there.
Very happyCarmelina P. from Tracy United States, 01. April 2013 Stayed for 4 days in March, 2013
We were very happy with our experience, I was worried on how we were going to find the parking spot and get into the building etc. we were met by the manager on the street who guided us in and took us to the condo and explained how everything worked, very easy, very happy.
It was very short stay but enjoyed the apartment life thereTETSURO T. from HAYAMA Japan, 20. March 2013 Stayed for 14 days in February, 2013
Actually, we intend to let the home in Kaiura and or Perl harbour area like we used to do it.
Howevr due to short stay we found this flat.
Our main purpose of stay is for playing golf
every other day. So we forced to drive HI to the west to reach the any event we could reach the most of them within 1 hour drive. And we could dine out easily to Kaimuki and down town where we have a quite accceptable
places,in terms of "taste" and its reasonable price.However,If avairable, we intend to let the pearl city area next winter for 1 month.
Beautiful, clean and well furnishedRobert T. from Mitchell United States, 13. March 2013 Stayed for 4 days in March, 2013
The condo was wonderful, everything was right there. Walking distance to go shopping, great places to dine out. Would definitely stat again.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice our condo was and it had everything in it you could possibly want. It was more than comfortable for four people. Would love to stay there again.
Great location!Jayson R. from Aurora Canada, 19. January 2013 Stayed for 14 days in December, 2012
We loved the condo unit and found it to be in great condition: the beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed including laundry facilities and it was modern and clean. The area was safe, we had morning sun on the balcony; we loved the Food Pantry 1 minute away for groceries, so convenient! The security was excellent; the street (Ala Wai) was noisy but not a problem really. Easy walking to the beach, shops and restaurants. Fun for kids and teens with room to relax. The manager was v. helpful with our parking problem. Would love to stay there again. Thanks Captain Cook Real Estate
Beautiful condo, great location.Jeannie C. from Federal Way United States, 06. January 2013 Stayed for 4 days in December, 2012
My family consists of husband, wife, 20 year old and a 16 year old. This condo was perfect for us. It was clean and the location was perfect (though city living is noisy), just a short walk to the beach. It had a small kitchen with a washer and dryer. Byron, the "on property manager" was so nice. He met us at the door, showed us around and made sure we had his phone number in case we needed anything. We would love to rent this property again.
Excellent accomodation and great value for moneyDarryl W. from New South Wales Australia, 15. November 2012 Stayed for 30 days in October, 2012
Stayed for 30 days in Oct 2012. Accom was way better than expected and had everything for a very comfortable long term stay. A few minutes walk to the beach and centre of Waikiki made it a great location. The Food Pantry on the next corner made daily shopping easy. The noise/sirens from the main road was a little annoying at night but with windows closed and aircon on it was barely noticeable. As for Captain Cook Resorts, from initial enquiry to being met and welcomed on arrival by Paul, and then ongoing support by Byron, they could not be faulted and made for a great holiday in an excellent apartment. Thank you Captain Cook Resorts and especially Paul and Byron.

Home away from homeSacramento, United States, 31. August 2012 Stayed for 14 days in August, 2012
This was our fourth stay at Fairway Villa, it feels like a second home. We always feel safe, the location is great & the view of the mountains is gorgeous!
Six Weeks in ParadiseRobert M. from Vancouver Canada, 03. July 2012 Stayed for 41 days in May, 2012
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Fairway Villa. The condo unit is sunny and bright with great views of the canal, golf course and mountains. It is a short 10 minute walk to the beach and centrally located in Waikiki. It is a two bed, two bath unit that is very confortable and convenient for two couples vacationing together. The unit is well appointed and has WIFI and free phone access to the mainland and Canada. The only negative is that there is substantial road noise from the Ala Wai Boulevard but in my mind, it is offset by the location, convenience, 24 security and amenities of the condo complex and of the condo unit.
We were also impressed by the friendly, efficient and professional support of the Cap't Cook Resort staff in reserving the unitn and in resolving any operating issues in the unit.
Not bad but not perfectChaoYang China, 08. April 2012 Stayed for 6 days in March, 2012
Too noisy in the morning as the rooms are very close to the roads around there.
Response from Captain Cook Real Estate09. April 2012
We are sorry that the guest did not find it to be perfect for his needs. An unusual amount of time and effort with this guest was provided to fulfill his needs. During check-in two carts and assistance was provided for getting an unusual amount of baggage and groceries up to the unit. And when a minor problem came up it was quickly resolved.
Met all our needs!!Ada C. from Nepean Canada, 27. March 2012 Stayed for 8 days in March, 2012
This condo was perfect for our family vacation. Got basically everything we needed for our stay: fully-equiped kitchen, washer & dryer, and all the accessories. Right in the middle of Waikiki, just a 2 minute walk from International Market. Our rental rep Byron was very helpful from the beginning. Would highly recommend this place for our friends!!

In 2009, Greenwood was working to lure a major outdoor retailer and the development promised to come with it to an area along County Line Road.
Greenwood taxpayers paid $130,000 to hire attorneys and a financial consultant to create an incentive package for Cabela's, including covering the costs of a loan to build a store and infrastructure work. Eventually, the company decided not to build a store, and Greenwood was stuck with attorney and financial consultant fees. The city also ended up spending $640,000 on a road project recommended in a traffic study Cabela's requested.
Greenwood and Franklin regularly give tax breaks and cash incentives to businesses to encourage them to expand or hire locally, and not all deals have been success stories.
State lawmakers have been considering a change that would ensure taxpayers aren't being taken advantage of when cities offer incentives to companies such as Cabela's that cost local governments money, said state Rep. Woody Burton, R-Whiteland.
Legislators want to study tax breaks and cash incentives annually that cities and towns in Indiana give businesses to entice them into constructing buildings and hiring workers locally. The state, cities and towns should enforce payback agreements and be held accountable when they don't, if businesses aren't fulfilling their side of a deal, he said.
"I saw the opportunity here to make sure these things are functioning in a fair and equal way because ultimately the taxpayer pays for that," Burton said.
A company shouldn't promise to create jobs and then get tax breaks even if they don't, said state Rep. Milo Smith, R-Columbus, who represented parts of southern Johnson County until recent redistricting.
Gathering and publicizing data on the incentives could result in tighter rules about getting back money given to or spent on companies that got property tax breaks but didn't hire as many employees as promised, he said.
"We need to get that money back if they don't live up to their commitments," he said.
The proposed law change would require a state commission to gather and study data on the incentives but would not change what cities are doing. The goal would be to provide legislators data, such as the number of incentives given, the dollar value and the number of jobs created, so lawmakers can know if cities are giving away money to businesses that aren't resulting in new jobs, buildings or equipment, said state Rep. Eric Koch, R-Bedford, who represents part of Johnson County and authored the proposal.
Based on that information, lawmakers would decide if a type of incentive, such as a 10-year abatement for property taxes, is successful and worth the cost or shouldn't be offered anymore.
The only immediate impact the commission's research should have on local governments is possibly to require cities and towns to file more paperwork with the state, Franklin Mayor Joe McGuinness said. Cities already collect the information, such as the incentive amount, the number of jobs promised and the amount of money companies are committing to invest locally, he said.
Gathering all the information so it can be compared could be useful for making sure all cities follow up with companies to be sure they're compliant, Greenwood Mayor Mark Myers said.
Koch has seen numerous state and local incentives given and wants to see if they're effective. The proposal is up for final approval this week, and this summer the commission on state tax and financing policy would create a schedule for when incentives will be studied and when the data gathered will be published. Every incentive would be studied at least once every five years.
The information should provide the basis for stricter laws later on, especially if studies show businesses are taking tax money but not giving jobs in return, Smith said. The legislature then could decide whether to eliminate incentives that aren't working or modify the rules for how the incentives are used, according to the bill.
The commission won't pick out specific incentives to study, such as the one with Cabela's, but will look at the total incentives each government gives, Koch said. The information collected would include the dollar amounts of the incentives given, the reasons why they were given, whether the businesses were keeping the promises made, such as to hire local workers or buy equipment, as well as an estimate of the number of jobs that resulted from the incentives.
"This is a very deep dive. This not a windshield, drive-by review," Koch said. "I think with more information, we can be assured that we are being good stewards of taxpayer dollars."
Currently, the state has no regular or formal way to evaluate the incentives given and whether they're being used as they should be, Koch said. The annual studies would give the legislature information on incentives so they could regulate them more closely if they saw fit, he said.

"Spy Night", the KIPP DC: Key Academy benefit, which featured espionage and intrigue author Tom Clancy, began with a reception at the International Spy Museum, and then moved across the street for dinner at the handsome Hotel Monaco, housed in the old post office building. At the museum, guests checked out the espionage-related tools of cloak and dagger missions so special they were formerly known only to intelligence community insiders.
The KIPP (Knowledge is Power Program) DC: Key (Knowledge Empowers You) Academy is a public charter school located in Southeast D.C. The program has spread across the nation since its Houston beginnings a decade ago. It holds both teachers and students to a high level of performance, targeting inner city children, as Washington's KIPP DC: Key Academy illustrates.
Supporters include organizer Lynda Webster and her husband Judge William Webster, who formerly headed both the FBI and the CIA; Senator Kit Bond and Linda; Ann Allen of the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation; AOL's Jim Kimsey, investment banker and his son Mike Kimsey, who co-chaired the event with GAP Inc. chairman Donald Fisher; George Ferris and his wife Nancy; former Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger and Mark Ein, CEO of the Venturehouse Group.
SOCIAL GRACES: The phrase could describe attributes of three hostesses, Dr. Susan Blumenthal Markey, Esther Coopersmith and Renee Robinson, of a recent baby shower, but it also fits the style of the honoree, Carmen Ducaru, for a special reason.
The shower for Carmen, the wife of Romanian ambassador Sorin Ducaru, was held on a Thursday. Knowing that the baby was to be born that Sunday, the hostesses announced that Carmen must absolutely not use this busy time to write thank-you notes, and that her verbal thanks to gift-givers at the shower was all they would "permit" her to do.
Nevertheless her friends, happy to learn that baby Maria arrived on schedule, were amazed to find Carmen's written thanks in their Monday mail.
Now that's a benchmark for laggard souls who let time slip by on the niceties, (and we know who we are!)
HUSH! It isn't often that a hostess has to quiet a dinner guest as prestigious as Robert Duvall, who is one of Hollywood's finest actors, but Esther Coopersmith did.
Duvall was so pleased to see his buddy, fellow actor James Caan, that he switched place cards to sit next to him, and was chatting away, oblivious that Esther had risen to introduce the evening's honored guest, "if Robert Duvall will stop talking." And he did as bid.
The two hark back to the set of "The Godfather" when Duvall, according to Caan, mentored him in his role of Sonny Corleone.
Fashion note: one of the most soignée women in the crowd was Robert's chic Argentine girlfriend, brunette Luciana Pedraza. (Black satin and diamonds will do it every time.)
Dinner was served in the magnificent garden, where conversations ranged over a myriad of topics within this clued-in crowd. Judith Terra reported she is still locked in her legal battle to bring the magnificent Terra Collection here from Chicago, so that Washington and its many visitors can admire the paintings.
The party celebrated the accomplishments of Dr. Robin Farias-Eisner, the recipient of the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund's Liz Tilberis Award, who is nearing a breakthrough in early detection methods. He is almost two years ahead of his goal for the three year National Institutes of Health grant that he and his small UCLA research lab received. He emphasized at the dinner that three of the most important health factors that decrease the risk of cancer were things that women themselves could control: improving one's diet, seeking to lessen stress in all aspects of life and exercising regularly.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, was among the 140 guests, who included legislators, ambassadors and other luminaries.
Thompson had a busy week, that included helping to install Margaret L. Ryan as the 45th president of the American News Women's Club in a ceremony at the City Museum of Washington.
The museum is housed in the former Andrew Carnegie Library (that annoying building blocking us as we want to whiz down Massachusetts Avenue). It is a fascinating spot, with exhibits chronicling Washington's history from its earliest days. The museum floor is a lit-from-below clearly defined map of the greater Washington region, stretching across the Metro area. Cries of, "Oh, look, I'm standing with one foot on my house!" answered by "I'm standing on the Kennedy Center!" rang across its second floor.
Margaret received the symbolic key to the club from outgoing president Karen James Cody at an evening of fine food and fun organized by former president Nancy Lang, emcee Lucy Spiegel and manager Randi Dutch.
Margaret, an editorial director at McGraw Hill, has a secret passion. She has a motorcycle license, and rides a Suzuki Intruder 800.
For this, she took a bit of chaffing from Tommy Thompson, who did not approve of her Suzuki and declared that as a four-time governor of Wisconsin, he couldn't visit the club again until she traded it in a Milwaukee-made Harley.
MUSIC IN THE AIR: It was a rare treat when celebrated harpsichordist Blandine Rannou appeared here through the combined efforts of the French-American Cultural Foundation; Roland Celette, director of the Maison Francaise of the French Embassy; and Henry Wong, the neurobiologist whose Baltimore music store "An die Musik"is a mecca for collectors.
Rannou's performance was dramatic in its power and in the emotion she drew from the seldom heard instrument, built by Washington specialist Marc Adler.
She also proved to be an engaging sprite, quickly endearing herself to audiences who demanded repeated encores after concerts at Baltimore's Walters Art Museum and at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. She even explained to the curious the "shove-coupler," the particular double set of keys of the harpsichord that permits both sets of strings to be sounded together.
BREAKING THE FAST: During the month-long fasting time of Ramadan, Muslims conclude each day with an iftar, the evening meal, not to begin before 5 pm.
Ambassador of Egypt Nabil Fahmy and his wife Nermin, invited guests for a Sunday iftar, saying they were pleased to welcome them so that they could break bread together during these holy days of purification.
Those enjoying the spread of Middle-Eastern delicacies included supporters of the "Friendship Caravans", a delegation of carefully selected Israeli teenagers who travel across the United States to share their passion and knowledge about Israel through song and dance performances. Delegation President Michael Kirtley spoke of the greater understanding of cultures resulting from these traveling goodwill groups.
HERO HANNIBAL: The Hannibal Club award dinner at the Mayflower is always a lively affair, drawing lawmakers, cabinet members and diplomats. This year, it was hosted by Hatem Atallah, the ambassador of Tunisia and his wife, Faika. The couple has moved easily into the Washington scene since his posting here. Hatem commented at the dinner that he would be leaving town a few days later to make a speech in Wisconsin where he attended high school before Harvard.
The club is a forum for enhancing American understanding of Tunisia and the North African region, and is named for the Carthaginian general who nearly defeated the Romans.
CASTLES AND CLUBS: Invitations for the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center Award Gala suggested "Kilts and Tiaras". Grace Bender looked regal in her strapless gown as she walked onstage after making the winning $40,000 bid for the 2004 Lexus RX300 luxury SUV.
Guests were piped in to dinner by kilt-clad bagpipers. The door into the ballroom was through a crenelated Scottish castle "wall," where guests found the huge room illuminated with chain-hung braziers holding the illusion of flickering flames, mimicking the lights used in castles of yore.
The tables were decorated with chimney lights and simple twigs twined with red and green plaid ribbon that evoked the gorse of the Scottish Highlands.
The stupendous number of auction items included stays at Scotland's St. Andrew's resort (historic in the world of golf), as well as golf clinics and vacations that offered a chance to unpack the clubs.
Margaret Hodges, the founder and driving force behind this fundraiser for the past 18 years spoke of how the loss of both her husband and her daughter to cancer impelled her to begin this event.
She obviously has done it right, because it drew a blockbuster crowd of 1400 this year.
BUILDING DEMOCRACY FROM THE GROUND UP: Economist Hernando de Soto of Peru was the inductee into the International Graduate University's Hall of Fame during a luncheon at its Capitol Hill campus.
De Soto discovered that 4 billion people were excluded from the global economy (despite having accumulated an estimated $9.3 billion in assets) because property laws prevented them from using these assets to produce additional wealth. De Soto also discovered that in 1980, it cost 31 times the average Peruvian monthly salary to set up a small business.
Brilliantly, De Soto convinced the Peruvian government that when poorer citizens were given rights to the land, they could then use that land to take bank loans or trade on it, thereby becoming productive (and tax-paying) members of their national economies. As a result, over 300,000 Peruvian businesses have been formalized. De Soto is now helping officials in Egypt, Haiti, the Philippines and Mexico to change property laws.
Seen: Dr. Jean and Dr. Walter Boek (he is the university's president), and longtime supporters including Hon. Louise Gore, John Cosgrove, George and Betty Beale Graeber, Ernest and Betty May, Edith Edson, Dr.Alfred Lilienthal, Carlota Pardini, Ursula (Mrs. Edwin) Meese, and Jill Smart Gore.

i just finished my first road race this weekend...wow it was fun but i got dropped like no other! It was 8 laps and i survived for about 4 of them...admittedly, i did not train for this race. The past month i maybe had 6-8 rides due to weather and work. After having my first race out of the way and being dropped, i want a decent showing next time. I want to race again in a month. Could someone give me a structured plan to train? Like sun - intervals, mon - easy recovery and etc.
I want to be more race ready in 1 month.

The El Centro Story DVD came the day after Christmas and I sat with dad as he watched today. It was beyond awesome. He saw faces he hadn't seen in almost 70 years and remembered all their names. He was so very happy. He talked for almost an hour afterwards, which I was smart enough to film about things that happened during that time... it was just awesome. He was most thrilled to see his old buddy Hogan who was his pilot, who died a short time later and is buried there in El Centro. I cannot thank you enough for the video.

Purchased (B-36 and Men of SAC) as gift for my father, former SAC assigned to B36. Arrived on time and my father enjoyed video. He shared more experiences with me than in past 50+ years making this gift well worth the price and then some.
I received my video about Phu Cat and to my surprise I am in the opening scenes and also appear as part of the crew loading the bombs on the F-100, I am the one driving the bomb lift truck. I can't believe how young we all were not to mention skinny! LOL. I want to thank you for doing such a great job on the videos of such a bad time in our history.

Rec'd (the DVD on the USS Boxer) in timely manner in good condition. Started watching today. Very happy.
(The DVD Hurricane Hunters 1950s & 1960s) is a depiction of what the Hurricane Hunters did. I was one.
My wife ordered this video (Guided Missile Cruisers & Their Sailors) for me. I want to thank you for offering it for sale. My father was on the USS Little Rock CLG-4 (which is featured in the video) from 1959 to 1962. I served on the USS Albany CG-10, which replaced the Little Rock. I decommissioned the Albany. I was one of the last 10 guys to walk off that ship. Watching this video and learning a little more history was wonderful. I'm going to take it to my dad's house and watch it with him. Thanks.
Honestly, when I was watching vids on YouTube and learned of your site (www.militaryvideo.com), I've been so excited to find these videos because my Dad was in the USAF for 30 years going back to WW2 on B26 and then later in SE Asia in Thailand during Vietnam. My husband served in Vietnam also for three years with the Seabees. My Dad has passed away six years ago and he *never* spoke about his time in these wars and as he was there for three years also. I wanted to understand and know about these years that were a complete mystery to me then. Also my husband has just recently been able to talk about Vietnam and when I showed him your catalog, he pored over it and picked out several that he wanted and is looking forward to seeing them and is ready to go back via these videos. Thank you so much for providing them for all the veterans and their families to allow us a window into those years that changed their lives, and ours, and to maybe be able to understand what this war meant to them and all those who served.
Fast international shipment of USS Nimitz: The Early Years * highly recommended * many thanks!!!
Fast shipping of C-47 in Vietnam. Great value.
My Father enjoyed this Christmas gift (Navy Men of the 1950s and Navy Boot Camp at Great Lakes in the 1940s) very much.

The USS Forrestal Fire DVD was what I wanted, when I wanted. Great.

23rd Infantry Division (Americal Division) in Vietnam is a 5-star purchase! Thank you much! This took my husband back, lots of memories.
Thanks, (To Save A Soldier) was exactly what was needed to build and paint a real Huey helicopter.
The 2 videos I ordered on LSTs in World War II (LST Training WWII and LSTs in the Pacific WWII) arrived today, and just in time. My father's birthday is tomorrow - he turned 88 - and he served on LSTs in the Pacific for 4 years. These were his birthday gifts. I couldn't have asked for anything better to give him. The memories of his time in the Navy came flooding back thanks to these movies. Thanks ever so much ... .
We purchased Men of the Strategic Air Command and the B-36. We THOUGHT it was the movie "Strategic Air Command" (with Gregory Peck), but my husband decided he wanted to keep it and really enjoyed it.
USS Kitty Hawk is a great video. Brings back lots of memories!!! Very happy buyer ...
Quick ship (of Camp Matthews). Great DVDs, A walk down memory lane for sure. A++ transaction.

(LSTs in the European Theater WWII) is a great piece. Found my father's LST in action. Thanks!
I received the DVD today (on Chu Lai Air Base). Awesome. I didn't see my dad anywhere, but he was there at that time. I remember him talking about the bear they had at the base (that is shown in the DVD). You get 5 stars from me.
I bought the P-47 in Combat: 57th Fighter Group Over Italy WWII for my father-in-law, as it was his squadron that was showcased in this video. Thanks!
Wow, fast shipping (of 42nd Rainbow Division WWII and Crossing the Siegfried Line)! Thank you!
This video (Combat Trackers in Vietnam and Their Dogs) brought back so many great memories. Great Service. Thank you
Have you ever been pleasantly surprised by a friendly merchant that makes an extra effort for you? I recommend this one for very good service. Purchased USS Essex 1940s-1960s.

Just wanted to let you know that while watching this great video (on Tuy Hoa Air Base) we were very surprised to see my husband in the video. Had no idea he was in it. He is the airman holding the flag during the flag raising. Thanks so much for this great video. We will certainly treasure it. I'm so glad that I purchased it from you. Keep up the good work!
Very prompt delivery. Very good quality DVD (Battle for Dak To). Will probably buy more in future.
My Dad loved this video (Great Lakes Boot Camp 1940s), which arrived in time and carefully packed. Highly recommended seller, will certainly buy from them again!!
