The neighborhood was very safe and peaceful (except for the roosters crowing at 5am - a feature of the island). There was a nice basket of fruit, coffee, and cookies waiting for us upon arrival, a nice touch. We were located right next to the Queen's Bath as well as a nice clearing and overlook of the ocean. We wish that Coral or Ian had directed us to the overlook as we only discovered it on our last day. The room was as advertised, but did smell a little musty. The sheets were fresh, but not sure how recently the comforter had been laundered. There was a lack of dresser drawers to unpack into so we lived out of our suitcases. We never met Coral in person, but Ian did introduce himself and show us around a bit. We would have appreciated a little more personal contact with the Hosts. We asked Ian for a breakfast recommendation the first day and Ian did not have one, we were able to find the Hanalei Coffee Roasters in Hanalei and would highly recommend them and their Waffles with fruit (ask for Buckwheat waffles if you like). We also visited the local Botanical Garden with the chocolate tour, which we highly recommend. The lack of air conditioning in the room was not an issue for us, we utilized the two portable fans placed in front of the screen doors for evening cooling. I can see how this might be an issue for some at warmer periods of the year. I would also recommend that the owners replace the ceiling fan as it does not work properly, only spinning backwards and the attached lighting cannot be shut off without turning off the fan. Also for those visiting, the St. Regis hotel down the road is a must visit for lunch or dinner as the views are stunning. All in all, the property worked well as a home base for exploring the north side of the island. I would recommend it as a good option for price conscious visitors to the island as long as the visitor is aware of some of the caveats raised here and by other reviewers.
