Catrinka's guest home was the perfect choice for our trip to Hawaii. Just like the description says, the home was nicely located for trips into Waimea town for restaurants, groceries, and supplies. We felt secluded enough to enjoy the beauty and peace of the island, away from the resorts, without sacrificing the convenience of being near town. It was also only a 15 minute drive to the spectacular nearby beaches to swim, snorkel, and kayak (Hapuna, Beach 69, Puako, etc.)
We had every amenity we needed, and more. In addition to all the wonderful kitchen appliances, the big chest of beach gear was an incredible resource. We enjoyed using the fins and snorkels/masks that fit both my very small self and my very tall partner, floaty noodles, boogie boards, etc. The home was super clean and thoughtfully organized. We are big lovers of nature and were delighted to see the beautiful flowers, birds, and geckos on the property!
Catrinka was a wonderful, gracious host. She was there to answer questions or offer help if needed, and we also enjoyed a very relaxing sense of privacy during our stay. Highly, highly recommend booking this home for your stay if you are looking for peace and quiet, and an INCREDIBLE view of the night sky. Coming from Los Angeles, it was such a treat to be able to look up and see the Milky Way. Our only regret was that we didn't have time for a longer trip! :)
