My husband and I went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, we wanted a relaxed environment to feel like home and we absolutely got that. Being able to cook a meal and come out to the lanai to watch the sunset and in the morning going out to the lanai for morning coffee was one of the highlights of our trip. The kitchen had every essential I needed and a few extras (rice maker, blender, french press and pour over coffee maker for example). Julya's husband was a great source of information about the geology of the island. He was super helpful answering our questions on beaches and seeing the volcano which we recommend. Anything you would need for the beach is available (towels, chairs, umbrella) and Julya was very accommodating. 100% would book again if given the opportunity.
