About the host

Hosted by Deborah Taubenheim

Host profile image
After many trips to Hawaii since the 80's We made the vacation home dream a reality in 1998. All it took were the views from lanai and we were sold.
We currently live in Seattle with our 3 dachshund children. Living a relatively short distance away means that we can make many trips there for both vacationing and being a hands-on owner. We want our guests to have the same experience we wanted in our many years of renting. Our (human) children were only 10 and 12 when we purchased and they've enjoyed many long stays at Nihi Kai over the years - testament to the fact that Kauai is for children too.
The owners, Deborah & Peter
