We moved to the big island and stayed at the avocado tree house while we looked for a long term rental. We couldn't have found a better place to stay! Hugh and Elvira were the best hosts we've ever had, hands down. From the moment we first contacted them asking if they would allow us to bring our dog chunky, they were so hospitable and said yes. The hospitality didn't stop there. When we arrived they had stocked our kitchen with fruit, coffee, eggs, and bread. Hugh is quite the cook, and was always bringing us something to try with his Hawaiian flare. Elvira showed us how to harvest the most delicious young coconut. We loved waking up to the sun shining in the big windows, and taking a shower under the avocado tree. So much that when we buy a place we are definitely putting in an outdoor shower. So many more great things can be said about Hugh and Elvira's place, but you'll just have to come and see for yourself. It truly is a hidden gem.
