Mariana and Carlos were wonderful hosts to my girlfriend and me. We were looking for a place we could sleep during the evening and roam as we wished around the island during the day. The location is within 10 minutes of Hanalei Bay and 20 minutes of the Kalalau Trail Head. We also enjoyed the closeness of Kapa'a just 25 minutes South (where a couple of our favorite restaurants are located). It's about 50-60 minutes by car from Lihue, depending on traffic. The location had mostly everything we needed for our stay, including WiFi. Coffee maker, toaster, microwave, refrigerator and dishware were also available. For laundry, we used a 24-hr laundromat in Kapa'a. The futon bed was comfortable and nights were quiet and pleasant. We'd love to come back and would definitely attempt to re-book our next trip here.
