We spent 9 glorious nights at Connie and Andrews beautiful cabin (April 21-30) and we couldn't be happier with our choice!

Both Connie and Andrew came to welcome us despite the fact that we arrived after dark - they were very accommodating given that they had emailed us instructions to call them from the airport arrival but we hadn't received the email because we were travelling. They also introduced us to Sophie, their dog, who is a sweet soul. Connie gave us a tour of the cabin and a run down of all the important things, then we were pretty much left to our own devices, knowing that Connie and Andrew were just a phone call away if we should need them.

The cabin was immaculate and a lot of attention was paid to thoughtful details, like the fresh flower arrangements that were in each room (filling the cabin with the best smells!) and the bathrobes that made it feel like a private spa. The bathroom and kitchen were both very well equipped, and our hosts had even provided sunscreen, bug spray, and bite lotion, which was particularly thoughtful.

The coqui frogs chorus, while perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, was definitely ours. It was wonderful to be sung to sleep at night by them. And in the morning the birds would chatter away too. Personally, we loved it - though if you are sensitive to noises when you sleep then factor that in. We didn't use them, but we noticed that Connie and Andrew had provided ear plugs.

We had some retreat days where we didn't leave the cabin, but stayed home to get some deep rest. And we also had days when we explored the island - we did have a rental car (which we'd highly recommend!) and clocked about 800 miles on it because we took trips to Hawi, Kailua, Captain Cook, Mauna Kea and we drove the Red Road to Uncle Robert's. The cabin was well-located for all this exploring, and it was the perfect place to come home to after a day of hiking or snorkelling. Connie and Andrew had even provided beach umbrellas, folding chairs, snorkelling gear, boogie boards, beach towels and flip flops for all this adventuring!!

All-in-all this really is a gem of a place. Thank you so much, Andrew and Connie, for sharing your space with us and for being so attentive to the little details that really made this trip amazing.
