Staying at Melissa and Ian's place was the highlight of our trip! A gorgeous and clean place, it's just steps from Queen's Bath (one of the coolest places on the island), and a quick drive to Hanalei for surfing or Ha'ena state park for some of the best hiking in America. Melissa and Ian are right next door and treated us like family, giving us all the local info and lending us surfboards, bikes, and even coordinating last-minute equipment rentals for the Kalalau trail.
We were also working for two weeks from the apartment - it's a great set up with multiple places to work and a fast internet connection.
