Jim was an exceptional host, and his bungalow was a sweet little find in the midst of Paea! His place was impeccable - thoughtfully and lovingly restored with such attention to detail, super clean and completely modern. Jim's friendly demeanor was a huge plus for our stay. Eager to help and instantly responsive to our questions and needs. He sensed our appreciation for local and fresh, and gifted us a dozen eggs from his hens, and a beautiful jelly bought at the local farmers market that we missed. He has a lovely spot outside for enjoying our morning coffe or a late night drink, protected from rain (which we had a lot of)! His location was perfect - quick walk to Baldwin Beach for an early morning dip before the house woke up, fast walk to the market for breakfast supplies, and an easy stroll to the shops. No car needed if you're staying local, so no aggravating parking when going out to dinner. Early morning clucking from his hens were sweet and comforting, and not disturbing at all. He got rid of the rooster after our second night, and all was peaceful after that! ☺️ Kitchen is well stocked (maybe a couple more food storage containers would be helpful), teas and coffee and oils and spices all available. Comfy beds, and lovely sarongs in each room for quick coverups. Such a great place. Can't wait to return!
