This was a great property and location to escape from Midwest winter for a month. There is so much to do. Lots of off-the-beaten track adventures and ever-changing landscapes. The hosts have thought of every detail--outlet strips and sound machines in the bedrooms, lots of cookware, dishes, and glassware in the kitchen, a beautiful garden and patio area, and beach towels, chairs, noodles, etc to enjoy your beach time. ##### Melissa S.

Unique Old Hawaiian motif. The owners put their love and pride into their units. I think there are 3 -4 units in the home but all were not occupied, so it was fairly quiet. The frogs block out any noise at night. They were very loud, but we loved their sounds! It could use a deep cleaning, and newer spices, condiments, and pans, but for the price it was a good value. ##### Janice V.

They told us of places to go and things to do that greatly enhanced our stay. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, the kitchen well equipped and lots of equipment for your day trips. (snorkel, boogie, picnic...etc.) The grounds are spectacular!!!! Not only will we stay again, but will work around their availability to do so. Mahalo Jim and Kepi. ##### Carl Z.

Lovely artwork! Overall, we had a nice stay. We were in the upstairs unit (steps are steep so if you have mobility issues one of the other units would be better). It had nice views of the gardens…you really felt like being in a jungle. The birds, roosters and tree frogs are quite noisy, but having lived in the caribbean, that was not unexpected. What was unexpected was the road noise, which started quite early. But it is a residential neighborhood. Sound machines in the rooms was a nice touch. The decor is lovely, inside and outside! The kitchen was well stocked. Water is rain catch but filtered and potable…we had no issues. We didn’t get to meet owners since they were off island at the time. Their residence is at the back of the property. There is ample parking. ##### Kelly S.

Clean except excess dust on the walls from the ceiling fan. Asked the hosts for recommendations a couple times of places to see but never got a response from them. There wasn’t a mention of lizards inside the house be there were many. Thank goodness my friend didn’t see them ( I scared them off)or we would have to had to move or stay. Over all for the price we paid us was worth the money. It was quite and peaceful. ##### Dawn S.
