What an amazing stay! We were in a different property which we soon learned had no running water due to a catchment basin collapse. This was a horrible situation given that it was getting dark and we had no place to stay. We, through amazing luck found this incredible property. The owner, Rob, came to our rescue and allowed us to rent the glorious treehouse (as we called it) on short notice. The wonderful neighbor Susan even came through in a pinch and made sure that the treehouse was ready for our stay. She greeted us upon our arrival and made sure that everything was smooth. Rob was in constant contact as well to make sure we were settled in . It was amazing given what we had experienced with our previous property and was in the true Aloha spirit. Kindness during that rough day we welcomed and we will not soon forget.
We were greeted by the property manager Yvette the next morning. She gave us the rundown of the property and send us a list of things to do in the area. She is a gem as well and we appreciated how helpful she was.
Now to the property: Amazing. The grounds are full of trees and beautiful plants. There are fruit trees everywhere, and you havent lived until you have one of the bananas for breakfast. It is like staying in a botanical garden, full of life and the sounds of nature. We went to sleep to the sounds of the coqui frogs and awoke to the sounds of birds singing. We were greeted with fresh avocados or star fruit that was left on the stairs by the neighbor Susan....The kindness was beautiful.
One really feels like you are experiencing the best that tropical Hawaii has to offer. The experience of morning coffee on the gorgeous deck or a beverage in the evening will not soon be forgotten. A stroll through the neighborhood, our kids feeding the neighbors ducks, or a drive down The Red Road right near the property are some of the fondest memories from our trip.
The house itself is gorgeous, light, airy and well appointed. The indoor/outdoor shower, while looking at the garden, will be one of the best experiences if you have a soul. The kitchen has everything one needs to enjoy some of the local products.
I cannot recommend the property highly enough. Thanks to Rob, Yvette and Susan for giving us wonderful memories of our trip!
