Theresa & Justin's place is like a tree house nestled in the rainforests in the south west side of the big island. Staying here you feel like you're one with nature. The open "lanai" setup with no doors lets the cooling ocean breeze and calming sounds of the waves crashing against the shores permeate the house and make you feel instantly relaxed and at peace. At night, you fall asleep to the noises of a thousand coqui frogs and the pitter patter of the rain drops falling on the roofs. The location is also great for easy access to hiking trails and black sand beaches in the area. Theresa and Justin also gave us plenty of great local tips on where to take our 2 boys - from tide pools to secret beaches. Would highly recommend the mana house to anyone looking for a unique hawaiian experience.
