Nani’s place is a slice of paradise! Check in was easy, and the place has everything you need. Plenty of space for our family of 4. It was nice to have a kitchen, full sized fridge, and washer/dryer. Fresh eggs and delicious lilikoi butter were left for us. Nani and husband Joe live upstairs, but we hardly saw them. Their dog, Kala, is super sweet.
The swimming pond (with fish), play structure, chicken coop, and cows were wonderful. Hot tub and pool table got a lot of use. Back deck is great for relaxing or eating. There are lots of games and toys in the closet, along with some boogie boards and snorkel stuff in another closet. Beach/swim towels were also available in addition to regular towels. The sounds of the wildlife at night are amazing.
The house is a bit off the beaten path (and it’s convenient to have a car with clearance). Instructions to find it are clear, and it’s easier to find it the first time during the day. Google map has the location of their road in case you have trouble finding the place to turn onto the gravel road (although it’s well marked with a sign and white tipped rock). Great location for visiting Volcano national park or Hilo.
We would gladly stay there again and highly recommend it!
