Almost two weeks after our stay at Scott and Rick's Mango Hale retreat, we can't stop smiling at our great fortune to have found a happy place on the beautiful Puako Bay with such a well-stocked home, idyllic setting and attentive hosts. Comfortable beds, check; multiple places to relax and catch the full moon, check; all the appliances and utensils needed (blender, washer, dryer, drying racks, beach chairs! ), check; beautiful breezes and swaying palm sound effects, check; 2 minute walk to the snorkeling beach, turtle encounters and amazing sunsets, check; a beautiful coastal stroll to the Fairmont Hotel for more turtle spotting and a fancy drink or dinner, check plus! The home is accurately depicted in the photos and you will love the outdoor shower on the main level listening to the ocean and seeing the sunset or twilight hinting through the bamboo wall as you prepare for an evening on the expansive lanai with a peek-a-boo view of Mauna Kea and the night sky. We had a full moon and I can honestly say that one of the most relaxing aspects of my three weeks on Hawaii was curling up in one of the 4 saucer chairs with my kindle and waking up a few hours later to chase the moon to the third floor front lanai before crawling into bed in air-conditioned comfort. Admittedly, it was hot in September, so we appreciated the AC in the living room and on the third floor, when open air felt a little too warm as the sun rose throughout the day. Lots of windows, breezes and a floor fan on stand keep us comfortable when not in those rooms. Dinner, cards or coffee on the front porch listening to the waves across the street was another gift as well as counting the geckos when the festive twinkly lights were up and their chirping began. Mahalo, Rick and Scott. We look forward to another visit if the vacation gods gift us one!
