STAY HERE! Jeff and Robert’s place is simply magical. The house is just as shown in the pictures but they don’t do justice to the wonderful garden and surroundings of the house! Jeff is an landscape designer guru and this house has the most beautiful yard / garden that I’ve seen.
We arrived late at night and were welcomed with orchids and dimmed lights the house. All the necessary supplies were provided (and more! Snorkeling, bikes, yoga mats were also available)
My boyfriend and I stayed at the house for 30 days. We both worked remotely the entire time and If you also stay for a month, I’m assuming you will too ( we both work in finance and I was on calls all day long) the internet worked really well for the entire month and whenever we needed help or had an issue, Robert jumped right on it. I also think Robert is working on improving the wifi even more so message him about it if you are concerned.
The place is wonderful for couples or 2 friends - I believe there is a way for more people to sleep in the house but I would really recommend it for 2 people. The open layout and large windows make you feel like you are in the nature the entire time. The neighbourhood is so safe that we could leave the door open for the majority of the time. A car is a must! We joined yoga lessons and massage sessions at at nearby retreat center on a weekly basis. We mainly cooked home but there are good restaurants options about 40 minutes away.
We had such a great month and we’re able to experience the Big Island (and island hop) the way that locals do it - very differently from the resort lifestyle. I would HIGHLY recommend the experience and this house is the best place you will find!
Thank you Jeff and Rogério for hosting us!!
