This was more than a place to stay. This was a visit with family I didn’t know I had. Mark & Eric were incredibly generous hosts and live the spirit of aloha, mi casa es su casa. The first morning they shared their ham, eggs and coffee to enjoy on the gorgeous wraparound porch. The last day Mark showed me how to crack open macadamia nuts and test out the new motor scooter! They may be adding it soon as an option to get around. It’s ridiculously fun so definitely check it out! I was traveling solo and didn’t have a car but it wasn’t a problem. I ubered once, hitchhiked once, and everywhere else Mark offered to take me himself. You won’t get a better tour guide! He worked in managing forest fires for many years and has endless stories and experiences to share. We saw the sea turtles, hiked across the lava fields to turquoise beaches, and snorkeled a bit. Ask Mark where to go for the best coffee and poke! I was skeptical at first about the poke place but he knows what he’s talking about. You’ll see :)
