Steve's place is exceptional. Beautiful plants and personal touches abound. The bedroom we stayed in was gorgeously decorated, and little welcoming items were everywhere- hand towels folded into flowers, macadamia candies, and plenty of extra toiletries for our use. The shared kitchen had all of the items needed for me to make breakfast daily - of course we bought our own groceries but Steve provided plenty of coffee and had space set aside in the fridge for guest use in addition to the usual utensils, etc. We felt right at home.
Since we are not used to the island heat we greatly appreciated Steve saying we should feel free to use the bedroom AC unit to our heart's desire.
The Lanai area is spacious and covered in Steve's expertly-tended plants. It was a perfect place to sit under the hanging lights and chat with other guests in the evening or relax with a coffee and a book before heading or for the day.
The house location is great- easy to find, and quiet but super-close to main streets to get on the freeway or to the beach easily. The beach is close enough to reach without a car if you're used to walking or want to take a quick bus trip (we drove). Steve provides plenty of towels and has beach equipment available for guest use.
Steve is a wonderful host - very attentive and helpful- and a super-nice guy. Highly recommended! Mahalo!
