Devaki’s place feels like a hidden sanctuary of sorts. Yet, everything is within walking distance. We walked to surf spots with boards in tow and live music was just a couple blocks away at nearby restaurants. Markets and shops are also a stone’s throw away. The outdoor shower at Devaki’s place (with hot and cold water) was one of our favorite components of the home. While we only saw her once upon arrival, the best part of this beautiful place was probably Devaki herself as she was communicative via text, kind, and very welcoming. She has created a truly special place with an energy that feels like home, surrounded by a wonderful community of friends whom we thoroughly enjoyed chattin’ with while we were in town. We know where we’re staying next time we’re back in Hanalei!
