Superhost to Superhost: Claire & Billy were fantastic hosts: thoughtful and conscientious about what guests would most likely want. After many years of beachfront visits on all the islands, we’ve learned that we really prefer upcountry stays and this location was perfect for us, with rustling private garden, roosters crowing and geckos clicking, superb hikes and great beaches within easy reach (by car), and a popular bakery/coffee shop and small market and liquor store just a block away. First-time Hawaii visitors might find this to be a little too rustic for their expectations but for those who have had enough of resorts and beach fronts – including weekenders from Honolulu – we can’t recommend Claire and Billy’s highly enough.
