Staying here was the perfect way to end the second half of our vacation! My husband and I were looking to experience the true beauty and serenity of the Hamakua Coast while enjoying some side adventures and Joshua's place offered that and more. To begin, Joshua is an incredible host and ensured that he would be available when we arrived to offer directional assistance if needed. Prior to our arrival I had read some reviews regarding lack of cleanliness, but what we experienced was completely opposite. Everything including the countertop, floor, linens, bathroom, and shower were impeccable. We arrived to a beautiful and generous arrangement of fruits from his farm along with some of his delicious homemade chocolate. Each evening I enjoyed sipping on some chocolate tea (that he makes and has some for sampling in the kitchen) and sat outside on the lanai to see the unbelievable view of the stars. In the mornings you can sometimes catch some pretty amazing views of Maui's eastern side. While it may be in a more "secluded" location, it provides a great launching pad to quickly access some great places to hike and adventure such as the Waipi'o Valley and Kalopa State Recreation Area - both beautiful! Also, you can quickly drive into Honoka'a to grab a bite to eat (The Landing has great pizza and beer) or some groceries if needed. If you are even considering staying here just do it - you will not regret it! Many thanks to Joshua for his hospitality and sharing his slice of paradise with us!
