We've stayed in lots of vacation rentals and this place is definitely an outlier -- in a good way. Mike has gone to great lengths to make his place just so: gardening/landscaping to optimize guests' feeling of immersion in the cloud forest, lighting throughout that sets a very relaxing mood, cut flowers in every room, comfy furniture both inside and on the large lanais, an A Class bedroom experience with an extremely comfortable king bed and expansive views across the tops of the tree ferns (seemingly straight from Jurassic Park) to the Ohia trees beyond, and a kitchen with the appliances you need and a pantry stocked well beyond a typical vacation rental. The place is the cleanest we have ever stayed in: not a mote of dust, not a strand of spider web, not a stain anywhere -- quite remarkable. Mike met us when we arrived for our 4-night stay to provide a thorough orientation, which was helpful because we had never run across some of the electronics/electrical controls before. What we like best? The BIRDS. Although we didn't catch a glimpse of a lot of birds, their beautiful, melodic songs and calls start before dawn and enchant until dusk. This is the antithesis of the incessant rooster crowing that permeates large parts of the Hawaiian Islands these days. Alas, a few cocqui frogs have made it to the cloud forest, too -- no place is perfect. 😟 We'll definitely be back.
