I really enjoyed the quaintness and rustic charm- loved the books. We had no trouble finding the place with our GPS and there was a clear sign marking number of house- we arrived at 4:30 ish pm to allow for some light to find the place (as it seemed it would be confusing and as we were tired from wrapping other activities earlier). The road can be a bit difficult to drive in rain and darkness but it’s not that far in from main road. In fact, when we reached the place was being vacuumed and we went out to a grocery store to pick up food- it’s really close to downtown as well as Target. It was clear from the description that the house was rustic and not a luxury resort like place - so our expectations were set as such. The only thing that I would add is it’s very open concept - there are no doors but there are curtains for separation between bathroom & bedroom and living room. Coming from a bigger city, I was a bit apprehensive to see that the garage door which led to main entry stayed open and the main door opened directly into the bedroom - to me this did not feel secure. The bathroom window did not have curtains and you could see the neighbors balcony/porch- we just put up a few extra towels there to close this. The main issue for us was that the oven did not function at all that day. We kept the oven on for 90 mins and ended up tossing the pizza as it would not cook. This seemed to be an issue which was out of Pua’s control though- as she was very upfront that day when she welcomed us that one of the stove tops wasn’t working (she truly was unaware and we did not want to bother her at 8 pm when we noticed the oven wasn’t working after 45 mins). I am positive given how welcoming she was that she must have fixed it right away once she was made aware. Luckily for us, she had brought us fresh eggs for breakfast and we ended eating those for dinner. We only stayed for one night as a stop over for Volcanoes National Park. The house sits on the 4 mile scenic route and the botanical gardens are close by. Pua was very responsive in all communication and she welcomed us in person, gave us tips for where to see sunrise, and gave us fresh eggs from her coop. The fridge/pantry was also stocked with basic condiments. The sound of frogs did not bother us at all, the back yard was beautiful from the balcony, bed was comfortable and clean- got a sound sleep once I got over my big city squeamishness of being right next to the door (the place is quite safe).
