Here is your guide to the amazing and relaxing whale house!
First, the interior of the house is beautiful. Rustic wood with high ceilings on the second floor. This means that air flow is great and the place is perfectly cool at night. Don’t fret that the house isn’t air conditioned - you simply don’t need it.
Second, the beds are comfy and the supply of linens and towels is well above average.
Third, the kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans. Plan to hit one of the many farmers markets on the island and make use of that blender. You’ll never have a better smoothie!
The pool is a fantastic amenity. There will be days you don’t want to leave milolii - plan for that!
Accessibility options are amazing - the shower chair was much appreciated after I broke my foot.
The true gem of this home is the host himself. Anthony is a kind, funny, and overall amazing human being. He went well out of his way to help us when a situation arose and we could not be more thankful. He is good people and that amazing vibe is felt throughout his home as well.
Some tips to make the most of your stay - plan to get up early and enjoy the daylight and retire early. Milolii is very dark and peaceful at night, we rarely went to sleep later than 9pm. Drive extra extra slow in the neighborhood to maintain good relations with the neighbors. Consider renting a 4WD vehicle - the road to milolii and the roads all around the big island for that matter can we narrow, winding, and steep. Lastly, help the host out by conserving as much running water as possible! The planet loves you for this as well. You might see a few bug buddys around the home, but the pests are exceptionally well controlled given the tropical climate. We only had to smush two during our whole stay - amazing!
Enjoy the island in all its glory, leave the landscape as you found it, and make lasting memories.
Mahalo nui loa Anthony!
