Our family of four loved our stay at Deanna's place. We could walk to two snorkeling beaches, lovely Manini Beach Park, had access to kayaking right down the road. The home has an interesting history and includes field guides for birds, plants and marine life, snorkels and fins. The front porch (on the second floor) is a wonderful place to sit and read. We never tired of our view of the mountain above the bay and could walk over to the water with our morning coffee. It's quiet and peaceful even though locals and tourists visit the adjacent park and the bay. Occasional music from a car but it never went on long. It's perfect for people who love nature and want to be away from the tourism mainstream (even though it's only four miles from popular Two Step beach and the Place of Refuge and across the bay from Capt. Cook's Monument, a spectacular snorkel spot). We hope to be back!
