I booked Alissa and Derek's place as a gift for my parents. Since they love nature, I figure they would appreciate staying at the Plantation more than the hotel resorts.
Alissa was very responsive and was kind to let me book her place for my parents. The caretaker / manager Ray was very nice to my parents and they were very thankful.
While I'd never been to the place myself, my parents showed me around the place via Skype and photos. The property was filled with greens, wild / stray animals who often came to visit. The roosters started their day at 3AM, so if you're sensitive to noise, you may need a pair of earplugs. The garden was nicely designed, with fruits on the ground ready to eat.
The plantation was located pretty high above the sea / beach level, so it got unexpectedly cold at night for Hawaii. For a perfect star gazing (no light pollution to block the view!), bring a hoodie or jacket so you can spend a good time outside looking up at the stars.
