Hale 'Amakihi was an amazing stay! I was traveling with 4 friends (4 girls, 1 guy, most of us in our 20's) for a full week. Wendy made us feel extremely welcome and at home away from home. We got a tour of the grounds, loved the fresh fruit she brought over and the fresh eggs. There were 2 bedrooms plus 1 pull-out sofa, and 1 full bathroom. The kitchen had the basic cooking essentials (oil, salt/pepper, rice cooker, French press, dishwasher, pots/pans/silverware/dishes). We also enjoyed the washer/dryer and laundry soap to do our laundry halfway through the week. There was also a set of awesome snorkeling gear (mask/snorkel) we used at the tide pools and other places.

The house is in a secluded area and at night there is a wonderful serenade of jungle noises (and rain). The house was in great condition and had WiFi.

Any questions or concerns we had, Wendy helped us immediately. She and her family also gave us great travel suggestions.

The one item I would highlight is that the house is on the far East side of the island and driving to the West side takes about 2 hours. All the sandy beaches are on the West side. There are some great hikes and things to do on the East though!

My entire group felt right at home because of our hosts and the price was amazing for the week!
