This property sits on a quiet road with a gorgeous giant monkey pod tree in the yard. There are plenty of coconuts, citrus and avocados everywhere in the large yard. Beyond the monkey pod tree sits a yard with a corral of horses and goats. We saw a boar come through the yard a couple of times at dusk, which was a real treat. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the morning with our coffee and and at night with a glass of wine. The weather in this town gets a little more rain than just down the coast a few miles, which keeps it nice and green and tropical. Hawi and Kapaau give you the "living like a local" experience. We experienced the celebrations around the local high school graduation and all the families celebrating their students. Nearby are some of the best beaches on the island and one of our favorite beach parks.
The house and yard were both very tidy when we arrived. The beds are comfortable and the house is stocked with everything you would need to feel at home. We had a lovely stay.
