Brenda's place is very unique in many ways: 1) It's in the middle of the Ohia jungle, where coqui frogs sing all night and birds sing all day (especially in the first couple of hours of the day). You have to drive through some rough roads for about 15 minutes to get there, but any car will make it. 2) There are all kinds of flowers, fruit, and edible plants around her property (it's pretty!). If there's ripe fruit, it will likely be shared in a basket in the kitchen. 3) Imagine that you made each individual room of a house into an independent cabin containing a bedroom and a porch, surrounding a central structure where there is a kitchen, dining/living/laundry room, and bathroom together... that is the concept. Brenda and Matiu stay in one of those (and they have their own bathroom), while guests stay in the other two structures, and everyone shares the screened kitchen/dining/living/laundry room, which is just steps away from your cabin's door. 4) It could be described as a quiet nature retreat/glamping experience, since the cabins have screens but no windows that can be closed. You won't be cold at night (there were enough blankets), but be aware that the sounds you make may be entering the other cabins. 5) Best for social people, as sooner or later you will run into other guests cooking/eating when you go to the bathroom or while you prepare or eat your breakfast, etc. 6) It's an off-the-grid property, although it's hard to tell since you have lights, a working fridge/freezer, and hot showers with actually more water pressure than we had when we stayed at a hotel connected to city water. That said, their water comes from rain, so it's important to use it conservatively, even though Brenda never asked us to do so. This has no effect on cleanliness either (cabin, shared areas were always clean). As a matter of fact, all shower towels are washed daily, since nothing dries naturally in the humid jungle. 7) There are a couple of outdoor cats there that don't bother anyone and are just there to provide rodent control. They won't affect your allergies, though, because they don't live in the cabins or in the shared area, although they will try to sneak in if you're not paying attention! 8) Last but NOT LEAST, we have Brenda... hands down the best host I have ever had! She is a wonderful human being, with admirable qualities that I wish everyone in the world had. We certainly look forward to returning one day. Aloha and Mahalo once again for everything!
