An unusually spacious , comfortable and very private homey base for exploring the island. Convenient to everything but like a time travel experience to old Hawaii from Kailua just a 20 minutes away. We particularly enjoyed coffee each morning on the lanai with exotic birds in the lush vegetation in all direction. There is one break in the garden which provides a crisp clear air view between the breadfruit tree and palms and the bananas to a coffee plantation, the ocean and distant volcano slope into the sea. Amazing start to each day after a quiet comfortable sleep in great bed. Kitchen very well equipped for all cooking needs. Good grocery and small farmer fruit market 3 minutes away. Place of Refuge and Captain Cook Monument at coast directly below. Fun neighborhood to walk around with fruit tree orchards and even a hobby farmer with a few ducks and chickens and dozen or two eggs for sale. A great low key discovery. Ken and Myra welcoming, available and privacy respecting hosts.
