Loring and Lloyd are gracious and friendly hosts. Their cozy cottage exceeded even our high expectations. The area is quiet and peaceful and at 2500 feet of elevation, is divinely cool for Hawaii. The queen bed is very comfortable...nice and firm just as we like it. The shower is awesome. The town of Waimea is just a couple miles away and the lovely beach of Mauna Kea resort is free and has very good snorkeling and is a fairly short drive. The kitchen is very well equipped and everything is spotless and in good working order. The hosts even provide loaner boogie boards and snorkel gear. Upon arriving, we were delighted to find a perfect papaya and 2 tasty muffins! Thank you, guys!!
