First, the view is incredible. It's worth coming just to see it. Pictures don't do it justice.
Vivian is a gracious host; she provided a full breakfast for us, including fresh bananas from the garden, and loaned us snorkeling gear. We greatly enjoyed talking with her and her place was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
The house is beautiful: inside the rose garden suite, everything is rose themed, even the rugs! We also toured the honeymoon cabin that has a private deck looking out over the bay and the ocean. There's an adorable cat named Tigre who lives outside.
The location is convenient: across the street is a well-stocked supermarket, and lots of cool places like Greenwell Farms are nearby.
Remember to bring bug spray because the bugs are thick around the garden.
I can't wait to stay here again!
