Absolutely amazing. We couldn't be happier with this place. The building itself has more of a cabin feel: basic structure with outdoor bathroom and shower area and disconnected kitchen building. If your priority is a luxurious stay, this won't be for you; it's more for those who enjoy camping and other outdoor/adventure activities. Saying that, it is extremely comfortable and well-furnished. The loft is fun, and the paintings and decorations are quite charming. The icing on the cake is the mirrored observation tower. Especially here, it is obvious that the owners have put a lot of effort and care into this place. More than anything, we felt at home here.

The location consists of several buildings with other folks living there more permanently. They seemed nice and kept to themselves. There's a lot to explore if you are so inclined. Rusting buses, fruit trees, gardens, and an ocean view all lend themselves to some very interesting photography. If you like sleeping in, be aware that there are roosters, but they quiet down after a bit of early-morning crowing. There are also a couple of very friendly pups who will be happy to greet you. There's no cell phone service, but there is wifi. Really though, it didn't matter. This is more of an adventure location that completely lives up to the idea of a fanciful Hawaiian jungle hideaway.

But the real high point of our stay was hanging out with the charismatic owners. Elvira and Hugh are two of the nicest and most interesting people we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Normally, we choose new places when traveling for fun, but thanks to these two, this is the first time we have felt compelled to return to a vacation spot. They showed us around their place, brought us fresh fruit, and shared meals and interesting stories. Needless to say, we were quite disappointed when it came time to leave.

So yes, definitely, stay here. It is a hidden gem.
