Most places in Hawaii feel like you just took your downtown apartment and improved the view. There is no sense of Ohana, of Hawaii. Not so Valerie's house. Just pulling in transports you to a simpler time in an island paradise. once you open the door, the hours colors and textures flow and create a sense of peace.
what I liked best though, were the little extras that don't make the ads. The little bit of snacks and coffee, some lawn chairs and beach towels and a simple cleanup at checkout.
we had long days on the Big Island. At the end of a day, all you want is an end of the day. you get that here.
thanks Valerie for the home and quick responses. It enveloped a great trip.
