Steve and Diane are incredible host. They were flexible with my photographic schedule. I left early and came late. They left me snacks and coffee every morning. They asked and made sure I had everything I needed every day.

We had many conversations about Hawaii. The design of their house is amazing, roof decks facing both north and south, tall ceilings, private sleeping area for guest, and really well lite. Best of all, there are skylites above your bed so I can watch the Milky Way as I am falling asleep.

If you want a very local experience, close to any part of the island and be first up Haleakala, stay here. If you're a typical tourist, well, it's no where near a beach.
