What a glorious time in such a glorious place! The cabin is precious & equipped with all the comforts of home (the kitchen has all you need to cook/reheat meals; the bed in the loft is super comfy; there are small coolers & ice packs for packing picnics, & tho we brought our own snorkeling gear, there iare snorkels, masks, fins, beach towels, boogie boards, life vests & more). The setting is private, set up against the lush rainforest, with a wonderful gazebo we rnjoyed many meals & desserts in. 😋 The overall setting is serene & sublime. We loved the sounds of the birds, & especially the coqui frogs, which as Jeffrey said, are orchestral!🐸🤗 It was wonderful to hear them when we returned from a full day, & they serenaded us to sleep. As the cabin is a up in the hills in elevation-it is wonderfully cool & comfortable in the evenings, & we generally didn't need the fans (there is no a.c., it's not needed (& the cabin's (screened) windows are open all day & night).
Jeffrey & Heide are such extraordinary & gracious hosts, & the homemade bread & lilikoi jam, the ample tropical fruit, the eggs, the milk, & more were SO DELICIOUS & SO APPRECIATED.
For us, the location was perfect. No more than 25 minutes from several top snorkeling spots & lovely bays (Two-Step, Kealakekua & Captain Cook, & Ho'okena); great food trucks, a market, & small, fantastic restaurants & a gelateria (Gypsea Gelato-the Lilikoi & Tom Kha are to die for) within 10-15 minutes. Two GREAT National Parks (Pu'uhonua-City of Refuge) & Kaloko ( for sea turtles & more-park near the harbor entrance). And Volcanoes Natl Park is a gorgeous 2 hour drive away-a must see place. Jeffrey & Heide had many excellent, helpful, & thoughtful suggestions about places.
Absolutely hope to return. 🙏🤗❤
