This is hands down the best airbnb experience I’ve had to date. I could write an extended essay on all the wonderful things about it, but I’ll try to sum it up. We stayed in the Heart room, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beautiful farm and lush vegetation. The bed and comforter were super soft and felt like home after some long days. The bathroom and living space is shared, but it is spacious and always kept tidy and clean. There were thoughtful and intentional touches all over the place, like our own shelf in the fridge and a basket with complimentary essentials, including some emergen-c that cured my jet lag. I loved watching the sacred ducks waddle around the garden, and snuggling up with Mana Loli’s adorable dog and protector, Aries. The healing house, or hālā, is one of the most peaceful structures I’ve ever meditated in; Ryan helped schedule massages and sound bowl healing in there for my sister and I with a local masseuse. Needless to say, it was incredible. Everyone was exceptionally respectful, but Ashley and Ryan had particularly benevolent energies. Ryan gave us many great recommendations, and even a couple locations to secret waterfalls. On the last day of our trip, our rental car got stuck behind state park gates and we were stranded on the opposite side of the island. Ryan had a friend help us get back to make our flights in time. He is truly an above and beyond host—even more than that, he and Mana Loli are the embodiment and quintessence of aloha. I hope to come back one day in the future. Mahalo Mana Loli!
