Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Judit who gave us the keys and showed us around the rental. There was even a nice card and a box of chocolates from Tim and Judit on the kitchen table. The property was as-described and easy to locate. There is a private parking spot under a cover so you can stay out of the rain getting our of your car. I did not use the laundry facilities and we did not get on the lanai more than once due to rain. Of note is that the spiral stairs to the bedroom are a bit precarious but there is a kiddie gate at the top. There is no closet in the bedroom but there is a lovely little wardrobe for hanging up shirts and pants. On the second story, there are stairs which drop down out of the ceiling to access the top floor, which has a lovely view of the surrounding neighborhood and a peek of the ocean. The kitchen is well equipped with a convection oven and a dual burner stove (no traditional oven but we didnt miss it), a brita water filter, coffee pot, rice cooker...even a george foreman grill!
The hosts were friendly, readily available and eager to provide any sort of help or advice we might desire at any time during our stay. Tim even carried my eggs from my car for me after a (perhaps overly enthusiastic on my part) shopping trip at the local grocery store. The rental is only a few miles from Haiku, some lovely surfing beaches and Paia town. Oh, and the wifi worked like a charm!
