Our stay with Elvira and Hugh was positively magical. Staying at the Avocado House is like stepping into a story book, a real life tree house. It's both colorful and comfortable, exotic and beautiful. The floors and ceilings are all hand painted with lovely murals, the surrounding plants and wildlife are stunning, and there's a beautiful view of the ocean. Elvira gave us wonderful organic breakfast fixings (eggs, bread, butter, coffee, cream, lots and lots of fresh fruit) along with occasional tasty treats (smoothies, pie!). From the photos, I remember fearing that the bathroom and shower would be a bit run down or mucky, but they were completely clean and beautiful. The outdoor shower was such a luxury, and so private and secluded. In general, staying at the Avocado House was almost like sleeping outdoors, except without any of the mess. There were some occasional mosquitos, but they weren't too bad, and Elvira and Hugh had helpfully left some bug-repellant coils in the kitchen. Do note that Elvira and Hugh collect the required 13% Hawaii tax separately after you arrive (that's a good thing and saves you money, because airbnb would take a cut if they collected it together with your initial payment). The Avocado House is an absolute gem, and a complete steal for the price. Thank you Elvira and Hugh! We could not have loved it more.
