The Coconut Lanai was our perfect home away from home. It was off the beaten path enough to feel private and secluded and close enough to beaches and restaurants to be just a scenic drive away.
Heather was an attentive host and communicated easily through text while still allowing us total privacy. We really enjoyed nightly visits from her little dog, Lupita, who is the most gracious little hostess. She made us feel even more at home.
The coconut lanai was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals at home including a pineapple peeler! There are tons of books for entertainment or for learning more about Hawaii. Heather’s beautiful art added a personal touch and a great ambience. The home is completely solar powered so there were times at night that the water pump wouldn’t function. Doing most running water activities during the day eliminates any problems! We also arrived during a drought and needed to conserve water which we gladly did though it’s something to consider if you’re used to two showers a day.
All in all we made a lot of jokes about staying in the Coconut Lanai forever and never coming home! We hope to visit again.
