a truly magnificent place. my family and I spent 10 days over the holidays here. we had enough space to really enjoy the natural landscape of Hawaii (even just sitting at home on rainy days), and each other! it’s one of the best accommodations I’ve experienced with my family, and Emily and Rob were excellent hosts. we felt very, very comfortable.
we savored our mornings sitting outside on the balcony — and its amazing mountain landscapes— and evenings cooking in the very generous and well stocked kitchen. the table is expansive. everything in the house feels expansive. we found everything we could have wanted. (also, they have an excellent book collection - which I enjoyed)
my parents took the master bedroom and my brother and I divided up the room / couch sleeping situations. the couch is quite comfortable (i suggest putting your head by the balcony side) there is only 1 bathroom, but not a problem if you plan well. the location is excellent for exploring north shore.
Emily and Rob were responsive and very helpful. shared their beach gear with us, offered a list of recommendations, and checked in to make sure we were comfortable . we felt well taken care of! thank you!!
