I cannot stress how wonderful our stay was at this beautiful home. We stayed for one night after exploring the Hamakua coast and doing some camping. We were dirty and looked forward to a hot shower and were lacking in some supplies as we had only packed our backpacks for camping. There were some amenities in the bathroom closet that I was unable to pack, such as hand lotion, that made me feel right at home. The hale is extremely clean and filled with so many interesting items, we didn't have enough time to soak it all in. We were greeted with fresh baked croissants and papaya, which saved us from a grocery shopping trip and made for a relaxing morning of checkout. Had we felt the need- a couple bottles of wine were available for purchase. The host is very kind and responsive. She reached out the afternoon of check-in to tell us of the rain in Hilo and gave us dinner suggestions- which were spectacular. If you want a taste of a local and romantic feel and to experience aloha at its finest, this is the place for you.
