For my wife and I, this stay was heaven. We loved being at the higher, cooler elevation in the lush farming area. Roy and Joy were the perfect hosts -- always available and helpful with a great amount of knowledge and they were fun and interesting to talk to but never intrusive. Anyone with an interest in farming or gardening will enjoy talking to them and seeing all the different kinds of edibles they grow. We had avocados and oranges and tangerines and bananas and lillikoi and papaya in abundance.This was perfect for us but it isn't for everyone. If you think you would like to stay in a resort or want fancy restaurants or someplace where it doesn't rain almost every day for a few hours, then you probably won't want to say with Roy and Joy because the road to get their is rough (8 minutes off the highway going 5 miles an hour over potholes and rocks) and you will probably have some geckos in the house with you - but all of that just goes with being in the Honaunau farming country where there is abundant local fruit and smashing views of the coast and only a 20 minute drive to get to the Two-Step and Ho'okena beaches. Two-Step is a premier snorkeling beach and Ho'okena is a great combination beach with white sand and easy entry for kids and families but also some pretty good snorkeling. The house where you stay is spacious and light and bright with high ceilings and big windows and a great lanai with unbeatable ocean views. There is lots of comfortable seating areas and many good books and it is quiet and peaceful. We had a little trouble with the wi-fi being unstable for short periods once or twice but on the whole it was fine. Roy and Joy live in another house that is close - but not too close. We loved our stay and highly recommend it. A great place to feed your soul with beauty and peace.
