We were thrilled to have been able to stay with Gary and Marianne, particularly because when we first spoke to them, they informed us they would be out of town and unable to host those days. Nonetheless, they reached out to a friend to housesit while they were gone and booked us to stay immediately. The house was very nice with a large kitchen with a great stovetop and a large living space. The room was clean and private with a great bathroom practically attached to it. We felt that we had great access to Paia and Haiku; both were about 10-15 minutes away. This was critical the morning that we took the biking trip up to the crater, as we only had to leave the house a few minutes before meet-up time. Even though we were checking out that day, we were allowed to leave our things at the house to pick them up after the bike ride, which ended after check out. We really appreciated all that Gary, Marianne, and Shaun did to make us feel comfortable and at home. Mahalo!
