This property is such a gem and the onsite caretakers, Paula and Dan, are fantastic. We felt very welcomed, and they had all sorts of information about the local area and the property. As others have stated, it's a pretty easy walk to the Waipio Valley lookout, and we did drive down the crazy steep road to the valley and beach, plus hiked up the other side (Waimanu/Z-trail); it's a great place to stay for hikers and nature (and gecko) lovers for sure! The black sand beach is gorgeous. We stayed in the 2-bedroom unit, and the views were so great from the lanai/deck. As a note, the second bedroom is accessed from the outside lanai, passing the master bedroom. The mosquitos were in force at the time we went, so bring your spray (there were some citronella coils in the unit, which did help). Overall this place is a really nice option for staying very close to the Waipio Valley and enjoying great ocean views.
