We loved Annette's place as the location was nice and quiet. The view is amazing as the house is surrounded by trees, flowers, and greenery. The fact that there is a stove and refrigerator was a huge plus as we were able to cook breakfast and occasionally dinner, which saved us a few bucks as eating out every meal in Hawai'i really adds up. The room was very clean, but keep in mind that it IS in the wilderness, so don't be surprised to see geckos or wolf spiders as they have a way to sneak in. There are plates, bowls, utensils, pots, pans, and more to use if you decide to stay in and cook.
Another thing we enjoyed was the company of her cat, Kili. My wife and I are animal lovers and Kili made us feel very welcome. The moment she sees our car pull up to the house when we come back at night, she will already be waiting for us in the driveway and follow us into the house. She loves company and slept in the kitchen every night (we didn't allow her into the bedroom as we didn't want cat hair on the bed).
Depending on where you're going to go on the island, the location might not be the best though. We ended up going to Lahaina fairly often and it's about an hour drive from Haiku. The house is only a few minutes away from Hana Highway, which is the starting point for the road to Hana. If you plan on making the drive, the location of the house is pretty convenient. Pa'ia is only a 15-minute drive and the closest town to a busier area with restaurants and shopping. There is a grocery store in Pa'ia called Mana Foods where we bought some of our grocery. A couple other popular spots near the house is Ho'okipa Beach (where sea turtles swim up to the beach to rest) and Mama's Fish House.
Overall, the area is generally pretty quiet minus the wild roosters crowing at random times in the middle of the night, which didn't really bother us too much since they seemed to mostly be off in the distance so it wasn't too loud. Also be sure to keep in mind that there ARE wolf spiders around as I encountered a giant one in the shower, but the house IS in the wilderness, so I don't believe it's uncommon. We knew there wasn't A/C when booking the place, but if the bedroom did have it, it would be the icing on the cake.
