What a great experience! Our drive to the property was on a small, secluded road off the main highway, lined with horse and cattle properties and rolling fields. Amy, the property co-host, was there and let us know she was happy to assist with anything during our stay (and boy did she!). When we entered The Puumoi Pink House, we were greeted by sweeping views of the Pacific via several huge glass French doors leading to the lanai. Delightful, especially at this price point! The large combined kitchen, dining, and living room area are open and spacious; easy to move in for meal prep, dining, or just relaxing. Numerous ceiling fans and screened casement windows allowed the onshore breezes to flow through.
Nights brought fantastic viewing of the night sky (shooting stars!), chirping frogs and crickets, and a few times, wild pigs grazing in the backyard! This was the natural, rainforest experience we were looking for that you just can’t find at large resorts.
Amy could not have been a more accommodating host! All questions were answered quickly, and all requests were immediately addressed. We had some atypical requests due to personal business we needed to take care of during our stay; Amy kindly brought us printer paper and fresh ink, packing tape, mail delivery, early check-in and late check-out, even extra dish towels (we like to cook a bit). She was always ready to help with a smile, but nevertheless obtrusive and always respected our privacy.
Only suggested change: one morning we left quite early and disturbed the guests in the Sunrise Studio next door. Perhaps a different parking spot be set up when folks have an early departure?
Thanks Amy, Sharon, and Mark. We’ll be back!
