The rental is a house located about 1300 feet up on the west coastline of Hawaii island in Honanau. The location can be considered rural and is a delightful contrast to the highly urbanized parts of Hawaii. There were three bedrooms, a nice living room with reclining couches, a small kitchen/eat-in area and a large porch (called lanai in Hawaii) that looks out onto the ocean with a magnificent view.
There are many fruit/nut trees in the land surrounding the house (mango, lychee, papaya, lemon, avocado, macadamia, pomelo, banana were ones we identified) and coffee trees on adjacent properties. There is a short but uphill drive to the house of 0.3 miles from the main road - while it was steep in certain parts, it was easily driveable in a car. Many beaches close by with great snorkeling. Not too far from some good eating places either. All in all a super location if you are looking for a relaxed vacation in a secluded spot close to nature.
The kitchen was adequate for our stay and there is a washer/dryer outside in the car park area - though we did not use them.
The views from the lanai were superb and its a great spot to relax, enjoy the breeze and savor the views. There is a gentle breeze always blowing in from the ocean and it helps cool the house down in the evenings by opening the windows to the house. The cocqui frogs did not bother us with their noise - shutting the windows at night blocked the noise.
Diane the host was prompt with messaging and instructions throughout the booking and stay.
Recommended if you are looking for a quieter place close to nature in Hawaii.
