Lovely home, beautiful view. Unfortunately, we had rain most of our trip (and an incredible lightning/thunderstorm) which inhibited our ability to enjoy the ocean or have access to Hanalei Bay. But NONE of that was the host's fault. We enjoyed snuggling on the couch watching movies as we waited out the storms. Hideaways Beach is definitely worth the muddy terrain to get there. Hold the ropes and bring as little as possible as you will want both hands when it is rainy/muddy. Thankful for the lovely stay. Would definitely return in the drier season. Really appreciate all the communication and thoughtful information.
