We loved our stay at this rental. It was perfect for what we were looking for; a little off the main touristy grid, close to Tunnels Beach (and other great beaches) for snorkeling. We were able to catch the shuttle (to hike kalalau trail and visit Ke’e beach) at the Colony resort, which is a short walk away. If you choose to use the shuttle, make the arrangements for pick up at colony prior to shuttle date. It’s a special arrangement stop.You have to have a Hawaii drivers license in order to visit Haena park, and park your car there. Over the years it just got too crowded and I think the shuttle is a great way to bring funds into that area, which has been hit hard by storms over the last few years… it keeps the tourist traffic down a bit.
The house is bright and airy and the beds are comfortable. The sheets were soft. Water pressure was great in the showers and the kitchen had all of the amenities that we needed. Decor was cool with a lot of local art. It was an added bonus to have a horse and a donkey in the field across from the front lanai. The horse is really friendly and loves apples! He walked over to introduce himself when we arrived. Be sure to visit the Wainiha market for the best fresh coconut water and amazing little smoothie and sandwich café in the back. Delish!! And super friendly 😊. Also, there’s a coffee shop/art gallery at colony resort. Opens at 7am daily. Looking forward to our return. Aloha!
