The home is called Hale Nanea (Tranquil Home), and we felt very relaxed during our stay. Laura and Jake made us feel welcome by sending us a detailed message of what to expect when we arrived. We met Jake who is friendly and helpful. Laura and Jake left us a bottle of champaign with happy birthday wishes. We enjoyed so many things about this place. It was so quiet and tranquil. We felt very relaxed. The unit features an open space design. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, condiments, plates, bowls, glasses, etc. The countertop is granite. There are pretty Indonesian decorations throughout the house. The shower is unique with a towel rack made of bamboo suspended from the ceiling with rope. There is a beautiful view of the garden and a glimpse of the ocean from the kitchen and living area. We enjoyed spreading out with our laptops on the large dining room table. We had room to eat and to leave our stuff out on the table as well. There is a television, but we did not watch it. We love cats, and there are a couple of cats who like to hang out near the unit. The garden is lush and well taken care of. Lots of delightful details like an outdoor deep bowl of water with a spigot and a cup for cleaning your feet and a brass bell near the beach. The beach access is great. You walk down through the pretty garden, out through a little gate, past a table and 2 chairs, and then you are on a beautiful beach. The sand is beautiful and we were able to find both sun and shade. We spotted turtles (honu) in the water at sunset time. We enjoyed swimming in the ocean. There is a a nice strip of sand before the reef begins to be able to wade comfortably. We didn't try snorkeling, but we did notice the gear in the closet.
My husband and I both had massages by a massage therapist Laura recommended. The massages were amazing, reasonably priced, and the therapist came to us.
