We stayed three days at Bob's home located in the Villages at Mauna Lani. It was a great culmination of our trip! Bob was an awesome host and an awesome human! His place is so lovely, clean, and luxurious! He provided everything we needed and more! Bob was such a fun and generous host! He provided fresh fruit and a light breakfast for us every morning, great coffee and conversation. He had beach equipment and bikes for us to borrow and was knowledgeable about the area, restaurants, and events happening around the resort.
The space was very beautiful, peaceful, safe, quiet and comfortable. The king suite was lovely, comfortable and private. Bob's home is located very close to the private pool, which we often had to ourselves. The private beach is just a short drive or bike ride. The beach was not terribly crowded and the snorkeling was awesome! There is also a lovely restaurant right at the beach, as well as clean bathrooms, and showers. You can also rent paddle boards and other equipment right on the beach. There are also two public beaches just on the outskirts of the resort area, including a beautiful black sand beach.
There are shops and restaurants within walking distance of Bob's home, as well as a grocery store. Bob even gives you his code so you can save money at the grocery store!
Last but not least, Bob has a beautiful, well trained, loving dog Cooper. It is a toss up of who we liked more, Bob or Cooper! (Just kidding, of course it was Bob, but Cooper was a close second!!) Cooper is so sweet and he definitely helped with the "dog withdrawals" we were having from our own pets while we were in Hawaii.
Overall, staying with Bob was such a positive, fun and relaxing experience! He really takes care in being a host and does such a wonderful job! We would definitely stay here again, many times over!
