Sandra’s place is amazing! Clean, spacious, thoughtfully decorated with nice things and fresh flowers, wonderful outdoor space! Huge closet that made it easy to unpack and spread out, even though we spent most of our two evening stay out exploring. We walked the mile to Maku’u Point for the sunrise, and it was incredible. Only unexpected thing for us as first time visitors to the island was the coqui frogs that have a loud chirp at night. The air conditioning sound mostly drowns them out, and earplugs were offered, so it wasn’t negative…just unexpected. The house is a bit outside of Keaau, so it added more time to our pre-sunrise jaunt to Volcanes NP, so be aware of that unless you love getting up at 4am! 🙂
Sandra was easy to communicate with and accommodating of our changing arrival times. We saw her for all of ten seconds when we arrived late, but she seemed genuinely excited to see and greet us.
