I've made a few trips to Hawaii, but this was by far my favorite. Annastacia and Porter's hospitality played a huge part in making this an unforgettable vacation and it's a pleasure to share my experiences with others.
To stay in this bungalow is to really stay on the North Shore. To say it's immersive is an understatement - it's on the edge of a well-maintained rural property, surrounded by banana palms, with your closest neighbors being the chickens / junglefowl that either live in the coop, or wander around freely. Note now that there's plenty of chickens!
The bungalow itself is simple, open plan and well-ventilated. There are curtains for privacy, but during the day, it was great to have an abundance of air and light. At night, it was very comfortable and on still nights, we had a fan to keep the air flowing.
What was really fun was having a stove, BBQ and lots of outdoor space to entertain. We had a friend staying on the property and would host a nightly BBQ potluck with her and another couple staying nearby. They were all very jealous of our location and ability to host them all in the beautiful garden.
In short, if you like being out in nature, love the Sunset Beach vibe and enjoy socializing with friendly guests and hosts, this place is perfect. We were much happier here than at an expensive resort; it was the Hawaii we were looking for. Thank you Annastacia and Porter!
