Every aspect of the stay was incredible. In fact, if you can believe it, we got a little tired of Hawaii itself after 2 weeks but never got tired of this place. We absolutely loved the fresh air kitchen where we could make family meals and watch the lizard drama of the day (will the small one back down as the big one moves near...)
We felt completely safe and slept with our doors open so that the breeze could blow over us.
The thoughtful supply of games, binoculars (must have if you go to the volcano), toiletries, and cooking utensils made it a fantastic stay.
I felt like we had complete privacy. The very high fence made it feel like it was entirely our space.
The first night, we made pina coladas and when I asked Suzie if they could hear it and if it was too loud for them next door (it was later in the evening), she said "you can hear it, but this is your vacation. Enjoy yourself!".
My husband absolutely appreciated Scott's acupuncture mastery and we both enjoyed a massage just a mile away with Sylvie (Suzie can provide contact info).
The beach just down the way is beautiful. Try to get there earlier before the crowds come :). There is a LONG way down from right where you hit the main road from Suzie's place but I don't recommend it unless you are very into rocky adventures. I recommend the short path from the parking area :)
