Tom is an excellent host, who greeted us with open arms and lots of great tips on beaches and restaurants. His house, full of pictures and books from his many trips to Europe (makes you want to travel more ;-) is clean and the kitchen offers everything you need. The porch, with a breathtaking ocean view, is a great plus,! We started every morning there, sipping coffee made by Tom! and looking over to Maui and ended the day by watching the millions of stars. The location of the house is perfect, since the best beaches are only a short drive away and the top of Mauna Kea a little over an hour. Tom generously offered us a late check-out, so we could spend every precious remaining minute at the beach - Thank you so much! We are already missing Tom and his dog T-Bone !
