We stayed here for 14 nights and loved every second of it. Valerie and Larry's place was one of the closest feelings of being home that I've ever gotten in all my travels. This little space never quite felt little, especially with big hospitality that was extended to us. There is a cute enclosed sitting space upon entering the front door, complete with a table, comfy chairs and a great overhead fan. Its a great place to sit and enjoy a morning or evening. The bedroom that connects to that also had an amazing fan that can be controlled by a remote without having to leave the bed. The room was spacious with a big closet, a desk that and a couple books one on traveling and one about snorkeling that came in very handy. Also having access to netflix was great after a long day in the ocean. The kitchenette is just that, a tiny little kitchen with basically everything one needs. Our hosts graciously provided us with a couple cold water bottles until we could get to the store. They also provided that delicious Kona coffee that everyone raves about. The bathroom fan matched the one on the enclosed porch keeping impeccably with the theme of the house inside and out, in which Larry has put much effort into and it shows. The water pressure in the shower was note worthy, I don't know about you but water pressure is a luxery that isn't often found on my end. I had yet to stay in a space so close to others muchless the owners of the rental and was a bit nervous about what it could be like. We enjoy our space but we are also social folks that love to absorb anything we can from anyone with a bit of knowledge. Valerie and Larry were the perfect hosts. One evening we sat down with them and other friends of theirs that were also visiting from Oregon and Larry made us the best lilikoi margaritas with their own lilikoi purè. We all played a round of hilarious putt putt golf and shared stories with one another. The following evening our hosts cheerfully agreed to us picking up a friend Hilo for dinner, who was also visiting from Oregon. Larry and Valerie prepared a traditional family dinner called Shabu Shabu for what had become 8 people including one of their other guests from Alaska. Afterward we were served a home made (by Valerie and her friend) lilikoi cheese cake with lilikoi purè. I couldn't get enough of it and will forever be sad about not having a great growing climate for lilikoi back at home. Oh and Valerie made sure to put your front porch light switch on the outside so she could make sure you never came home to a dark porch any night of your stay, and she meant it. Our hosts were full of knowledge of the island, the sea, fishing, driving, hiking, cliff jumping snorkeling,...
