This stay exposed us to a different side of Hawai'i. The place is nestled between the shoreline and Mauna Kea with stunning views all around. Waking up to sunrise behind Mauna Kea from the bed was magical. You can also see Mauna Loa and the shoreline a short stroll around the property. We saw some goats, cows, geckos and birds right from the porch. Our toddler found all this fascinating.
Erika and Andrew were amazing hosts and the check in process was very easy. The place is a bit complicated to get to, but they had sent us such well detailed instructions that we could find our way into the place easily.
The trade off for the idyllic stay is that the place is 25-30 mins from the nearest restaurant, grocery store or gas station. The kitchen has essential utensils, an induction cooktop, a microwave and a toaster oven but is pretty threadbare. I would not recommend cooking a meal here. Other than that, the place was surprisingly well equipped.
