We really enjoyed our stay at Hale Walua. We most enjoyed all the original art work, interesting, informative, meaningful books, and all the thoughtful touches (e.g., real reef safe sunscreen to try) and amenities. The hosts provide dog treats which help the dogs eagerly await your return. They are really friendly, smart, well-behaved dogs, who are allowed to interact with you, but can easily be kept away (fences), if needed. We even learned of a new restaurant that opened up; Kate & Will keep their info very up to date. We like this local neighborhood -- all the tropical plants, the variety of neighbors, and it's one of the few streets pedestrians/runners/cyclists use. We felt very at home and comfortable. Thank you, Will and Kate!
