This was a great place to stay! Poni is a great host, and the house was outfitted with everything we would need while we stayed. It's in a great location, we were able to walk to Mama's Fish House and Ho'okipa beach to see the wind surfers. In the other direction is Paia, a fun little town with great shops and restaurants. The only reason this is a four star house is the ant problem (which she is very up front about, but is still a bit annoying), and the fact that the jets in the tub do not work (which was one of the main selling points to us, so it was very disappointing). Otherwise this is a perfect little place, off the beaten path and a great place to start the road to Hana if you want to do that.
