What can I say that already hasn't been said in the myriad of positive reviews about Morris and Yuka and their wonderful home....that's just it...it is warm home away from home...I was doing a 9 day stay with 2 friends and I was looking for "completeness" in the kitchen, bedrooms and baths...and this Hale comes out top...Morris has thought of everything...truly....we were not going out to eat and the kitchen was marvelous and spotless...just stop at KTA market and stock up....on your way from the Hilo airport to Keeau...Morris is a kind and gracious man (didn't meet Yuka this trip as she was gone visiting on Oahu)...attentive and intuitive to your needs and adding to the laughter of story telling does when you are with family...the beauty of Ohana in the Hawaiian tradition...traffic on the big island highway is swift so leaving the house onto hwy 130 requires full attention but we figured out the tricks to getting around including Hawaiians graciously let you into the traffic during the stop and go commute traffic or during road repair (which is going on constantly on the Big Island because of weather and terrain)...the weather was ideal and when it was hot the numerous fans in the house kept me comfortable...when it finally rained..the whole property exuded a whiff of spice...cinnamon?...and I loved sitting on the lanai and watching the thunder clouds roll by...coqui frogs, gold dust geikos and other critters were there in appropriate numbers...enough to enjoy but without being a nuisance...candles...what can I say about that...Morris has filled the house with all manner of candles that are refillable, with tons of lighters...the Hale light by candlelight only on special nights with the full moon were magical...when we went to the tidepools, all the necessary gear has been provided...snorkels, fins, paddle boards, chairs with canopies, sun umbrellas, ice chests, ice packs, bottled water, carrying bags...the list goes on. What is clear is that if you rent this Hale, just bring a small carry on (washer and dryer WITH soap is provided) you won't need much else...the bathrooms...Morris has those soft white towels that are thick and rich and he has them stashed everywhere...I splurge with them and enjoyed the luxury...Morris's special greeting is to create a towel sculpture of a critter which is sitting on your bed when you arrive...and did I mention beach towels? More than you will need...Morris has supplied all the things you "forget" or TSA takes from you..lol...toothpaste, mouthwash, liquid and bar soap...basic medication for ouchies...bug spray....again, I have never seen such a well supplied AirBnB rental...and that is why quickly, it feels like home. Finally, plan on a least a 10 day stay...why?...because you become so relaxed and comfortable you wished you had booked longer...I wished I had done 2 weeks...most do three days and if you read the reviews they wish they had booked longer...this home truly expresses Aloha spirit...and also in the spirit of Ohana, Morris &Yuka are family forever...
