Wow! This house is a wonderful, private nature retreat for large families.
We all had our own sections of the house allowing for privacy when needed. However, as stated the distance from everything is no joke!! We drove 3-4+ hrs. everyday (on hwy 11 which is a narrow, windy 2 lane road) to see the sights and do the activities we
had planned. In exchange you get plenty of solitude, space, beauty, and Hawaiian nature you would not have in resorts or airbnbs up North.
We truly enjoyed the wildlife at the house. From the resident hen...we named Roger bc we thought she was a rooster(who laid us a lovely brown egg on the last day right on the patio chair), to the wild pigs/boars who can sound like dinosaurs walking through the brush and screeching like monsters in the middle of the night(only happened 1 night but was startling, so be forewarned).
This house is fabulous for a magical Hawaiian retreat.
