We thoroughly enjoyed this well-appointed, comfortable, slice of heaven! We spent hours on your lanai, playing music, or Boggle, singing, even dancing, eating, watching sunsets and meditating. We loved that we could buy all our groceries and prepare our meals in your gorgeous, functional kitchen! The king size bed is comfy, loved having our own washer and dryer, bathtub, swimming pool, and enjoyed exploring the nearby beaches: the (empty and stunning) neighboring beaches to the north, the 45 minute walk one to the north, Dixie Maru, and the snorkeling at Murphy's. The biggest highlight for us, outside of finding peace just being on your lanai, was getting educated by Greg and Pilipo Saratorio about Hawaiian culture, the history of Halawa Valley, and then Gene's guided hike to one of the waterfalls. We had no idea the valley is also home to the remains of an ancient, 7 tiered temple, a birthing rock, and one of the most beautiful rainforests I've ever been in. We are humbled to have learned so much about why many of the Islanders resent tourism, but also need and love it. We have an opportunity to learn so much about Hawaiian culture here. We were saddened to learn that the Kapuna no longer have a uke jam session on Fridays at Hotel Molokai like they used to, but look forward to coming back and checking out the music scene Sunday afternoons at the Plantation, and the Coffee House Tuesday morning jams. We are thoroughly reguvenated and overjoyed to have had the opportunity to share your abode. Mahalo! With much Aloha, Karen & Marty
