So let me start off saying WE LOVE VANESSA! She is a BEAST. It was such a perfect way to see the island. Without her I don’t think we would’ve seen as much. She did great on the road to Hana, all the way up to Haleakala for the sunset and back and forth around the whole island.
On top of that she’s so cozy! We felt like locals and even got confused for locals a few times because she’s so discreet. We never felt nervous about any place we went and I think Vanessa helped with that.
The bed was super comfy, we had everything we needed such as boogy boards, snorkel gear, chairs, gray water to wash our feet off every day, even a portable shower AND TOILET. She really offered everything you’d need.
We stayed for ten days so I feel like if we loved it for that long you’ll love it for any amount of days!
Also I’ll note that we never had a problem finding overnight parking on most beeches! So don’t dress about that. Our favorite spot was Pāpalaua wayside park; it was right on beach, private and covered with trees. It was right by a busy road but I’ve always loved the noise when sleeping.
We were worried about not having access to a shower or toilet like a normal hotel/Airbnb but there are public showers and toilets at literally every beach and outhouses EVERYWHERE. I would hate for someone not rent Vanessa from the amazing Amber and Eazy because of things like that because it was never an issue. I could go on and on about how much we loved Vanessa but I’ll just leave you with PLEASE don’t look passed renting this instead of a boring Airbnb because I’ll never go back to that way! We are definitely now van people haha! And will be buying one for future trips.
On top of how cozy Vanessa is the owners of her are awesome! Super cool humans that you’d wanna grab a beer with! They were knowledgeable about the island and answered all our questions and got back to me super quickly when I had more questions haha.
We are now van people
YOU COULD BE TOO 😝
