Melissa is a wonderful host. She was very welcoming and provided me with sightseeing tips as well where to eat and best ways to go around the island. Melissa's house is a great place to stay. It is located in a green oasis; quite - the garden is filled with beautiful flowers and it is only one block away from the beach and a short drive to Kailua town, where you find everything that you need. Although, I did not take advantage of, but there is a hiking trail behind the house up-hill for a great view. I did not miss anything and would love to come back in a heartbeat! Thank you, Melissa! I really enjoyed my stay-:)
