This was my second stay at Sydney's place which is my all-time favorite vacation rental. Gloriously beautiful setting in nature, phenomenal views, private, quiet, peaceful, clean, comfortable.
Sydney is a wonderful host. We loved (again!) her tour of the property and learning about the history of this amazing place. Communication is clear and easy and interesting. She has put such care into creating a space where you can relax and have everything you might need.
Kitchen really well supplied (sharp knives!) and stocked and came with fresh eggs from Sydney's chickens. There are all sorts of other things provided that might come in handy such as play things for the beach, blankets for Haleakala, laundry supplies, games, music, high-speed internet, BBQ, etc.
My 7 year-old nephew got it right when he said returning from the beach, "Now THIS is paradise!"
