Kaeo and Karl's Eco Hale is hands down my best AirBNB experience to date. They are the most wonderful hosts who have put so much thought into the creation of the ultimate home away from home. The hale was easy to get to thanks to the detailed instructions that were sent to me ahead of time. Kaeo met me as I pulled in, proudly showed me around the hale, and welcomed me to contact her with any questions before she gracefully left me on my own. You do need to un/lock the gate to the drive as you come and go off the property but it is easy peasy. The hale itself is separated from the main house by lush greenery so I enjoyed having a lot of privacy and much-needed quiet. The pupu dinner I'd requested was divine, as were the fruit, cookies, and sweet bread that were also left for me to enjoy. The kitchen was perfectly appointed and I loved being able to cook myself breakfast out on the lanai while brewing coffee in a french press. The east side of the island was chillier than I expected and Kaeo graciously provided me an extra comforter and a cozy sweater to borrow. The bathroom is as adorable as one can be and is right next door to the bedroom, making for a lovely experience of a hybrid indoor/outdoor suite in the middle of the rainforest. My first night I took advantage of the Japanese soaking tub and meditated amid candlelight and the symphony of the coqui frogs. The bed was very comfy and I slept like a baby each night. I absolutely cannot wait to return to the Eco Hale and hopefully, will have more time to chat more with Kaeo, who is a dynamic and loving host. Mahalo nui loa, Kaeo and Karl, and much love to you from Seattle until we meet again!
