WE LOOOOOOOOVED OUR STAY WITH ANDY AND DON- ANDY WAS OUR PRIMARY CONTACT AND HAD NO ISSUES COMMUNICATING OUR NEEDS (FROM HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO TOURISTY SUGGESTIONS.) FROM BOOKING TO COMPLETION OF OUR STAY, SHE WAS ON TOP OF IT! STORES
THE PLACE ITSELF IS JUST AS SHOWN, DOWN A PRIVATE ROAD THAT CAN GET A LIL BUMPY AND DAMP SO MAKE SURE YOUR CAR OR RIDE CAN HANDLE THAT. IT BEING OFF THE GRID WAS TRULY A BLESSING ON OUR MUCH NEEDED VACAY. I DON'T MIND THE DRIVE IN BUT PREPARE FOR THE HILO RAINS AND DARK ROADS IF YOU'RE NOT USED TO IT. HAVE YOUR LOCATION OR DIRECTIONS READY AS CELL SERVICE IS SHOTY UNTIL YOU GET IN AND CONNECTED TO WIFI. STORES AND ACTIVITIES ARE A LIL WAYS DOWN THE ROAD AS DESCRIBED IN THE CHECK IN SO A CAR IS DEFINITELY SUGGESTED FOR EASE- LOADS OF PARKING AND PRIVACY GATE FOR SAFETY. IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO GET AWAY FROM BEING CONNECTED, CAUGHT UP WITH TECHNOLOGY AND STARING AT A TV WHILE AWAY THEN BOOK THIS RETREAT. YOU'LL FIND THE SIMPLE THINGS HERE AND THAT WAS AY OKAY WITH US. THE DUO DO A GREAT JOB OF INSTRUCTING YOU THROUGH GETTING ELECTRICITY, INTERNET, A BATH, MAINTAINING THE PLACE- REALLY THEY'VE THOUGHT OF ANYTHING IN THEIR INSTRUCTIONS AND LIL NOTES AROUND. IT IS A RURAL AREA SO YOU WON'T JUST STUMBLE UPON THIS PLACE FROM THE AIRPORT SO BE MINDFUL OF THE COMMUTE.
WE WERE WELCOMED WITH FRESH BANANAS, AN ANNIVERSARY GIFT AND A HANDWRITTEN CARD- JUST THE START TO SPECIAL TOUCHES TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING A 5 STAR EXPERIENCE. MORE THAN ENOUGH BASICS IN THE KITCHEN AND BATHROOM TO MAKE IT PLEASANT IF BEING AMONG THE OUTDOORS ISN'T ENOUGH.
DID I MENTION NO AC- GROWING UP WITHOUT IT, YOU FORGET THAT LIVING WITH A TROPICAL BREEZE AROUND YOU MAKES SLEEPING PEACEFULLY SO ENJOYABLE. THE BEDDING, WELL, I DUNNO WHAT IT WAS BUT WE PASSED OUT EVERY NIGHT AND LOVED WAKING UP LEISURELY TO SUNSHINE, DEW, AND AN ABUNDANT ARRAY OF FOLIAGE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE.
I COULD KEEP GOING ABOUT SITTING OUT FOR A CUP OF COFFEE OR WANDERING THE PROPERTY BUT HONESTLY THESE GUYS BLESSED US WITH THEIR PIECE OF PARADISE SO ALL THE KUDOS GOES TO THEM FOR SHARING. FROM A HOSPITALITY PROFESSIONAL I CAN'T RAVE MORE HIGHLY ABOUT THE EASE AND SIMPLICITY OF A WELL RESTED VACATION THAT THEY HELPED CREATE.
