Beautifully decorated, private space that was just perfect for a couple of days stay for my husband and I. The second double bed in the loft would have been nice if we'd brought our 2 young children, but maybe not quite private enough. Some sort of curtain or privacy panel would be a nice addition for that purpose. The washer and dryer were a godsend for the midpoint of our tour around the big island, affording us the ability to pack just a bit lighter! Val was traveling when we arrived, but had a second contact for us should we have needed anything. We didn't spend much time at the house, we were too busy touring around, but the time we were there was very pleasant.
A few tips to fellow travelers:
1. Bring some ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The coqui frogs aren't nearly as bad at night as they were in Hilo, but still quite noisy. There are wild roosters that will also do their best to wake you at dawn.
2. Restaurants in Waimea close a lot earlier than we expected, and reservations aren't available everywhere. Make plans to eat out by 7.
3. Expect rain/mist daily.
