I had a long stay at the Avocado house. It’s a very cute and charming place, decorated very creatively and uniquely with a lot of fun and quirky artsy items mostly Hugh’s own. 4 separate units, kitchen, bedroom, semi-outdoor shower and the treehouse! The outdoor shower and toilet are really cool amidst the trees and birds! It’s almost like camping, with hundreds of cute little birds of different kinds among all the fruit trees that I could frequently have more than enough fruits and avocados from!
There are sweeping views of huge 11 acre property from kitchen, bedroom and the treehouse. The best part is, on a clear moonlit night it looks like a studio Ghibli movie scene around the place! Just surreal!
I don’t have enough words to describe the hospitality and generosity of Hugh and Elvira! It’s very rare to find folks with this kind of genuine old-fashioned hospitality anywhere! They are super hosts in every sense of the word, so kind and helpful, constantly doting on everything and taking care of everything and immediately resolving any minor things like family, even helping mitigate my “woes” with the big island gecko “foes” LOL 😅 Hugh perfected his super duper pineapple cobbler and frequently spoiled me with a ton of homemade treats and goodies. I highly recommend a tour of their retreat house with tons of his art and sculpture! So artsy and creative! More than the my stay I am so glad I got to meet them and all the nice folks on the property who helped with everything and hope to visit and stay again!
