I can’t say enough positive things about our time at the Rainforest Bungalow. The house was perfect. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom and our three kids (12, 12, 9) stayed in the back room. It truly felt like home to us, and I think a part of my heart with always be there. The rainforest sounds at night we’re so peaceful, we loved the screen windows! We had gecko friends, and one tiny frog join us inside and my kids were thrilled. The kitchen was perfect for our needs and we were able to make meals and pack lunches in the coolers for our excursions. There was lots of beach equipment which was very helpful. We added two sets of flippers to the stack of snorkeling gear. There was also sunscreen, lotions, aloe, and other items left behind by previous guests which was so great. It was a “take what you need, leave what you can” type situation. We left a bottle of hydrogen peroxide that we needed to doctor some cuts we got on our feet from the lava rock around the island. The bungalow location was perfect as well! Not far from everything we wanted to do including waterfalls, botanical gardens, the volcano, and black sand beaches. Laura and Mike had created a day trip binder with pages and pages of information about different day trips, with directions and helpful tips, and suggestions of places to stop. I think we did almost everything in the binder and it was so wonderful. Laura went way above and beyond to try and help me with something I needed to do for work. She was so kind!
We visited Hawaii as part of a goal to take our kids to all 50 states before they graduate, but if we ever make it back to Hawaii I would not hesitate to stay at the Bungalow again. Thank you Laura and Mike for one of the best weeks of our lives!
