Dale’s place is the perfect stop if you’re staying the night after doing the Road to Hana. In fact, my wife and I agreed that our relaxing stay in Hana was probably more enjoyable than exploring the road itself – the opposite of what we were expecting.
Dale was there to great us when we arrived and was a great host. The studio was immaculately clean – exceeding our expectations, and it was light and spacious. The garden in the backyard is very nicely kept and makes for a peaceful place to sit/walk around.
The studio is within a couple minutes’ drive of a restaurant where we ate dinner (it was good), food trucks, a walking trail, Hana Bay, and Koki beach. Koki beach was one of the nicest beaches we visited in Hawaii (which is saying a lot) and we spent a few hours there in the morning before heading back west.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we wished we had booked it for more than one night.
