This was a magical experience. Learning that Melvin built the main house and Airbnb unit as well as hand crafted the garden made the experience even more amazing. You can tell the place is built and cared for with love, and it feels like home the moment you walk in. Apparently I’m not the first to say, “this is all I need in life!” while staying in the unit.
A note for those not familiar with Hawaii: bring ear plugs - the jungle is loud! And there are no glass windows because life is better without them here ;) just netting to keep the bugs out. It rains! A lot! Be prepared for that. But do yourself a favor and eat as much island fruit as you can because that’s the best part. Aloha!
