Staying at Sylvia's place is the way to have a true Hawaiian experience. The accommodations were very comfortable. Best sleep we've had in a long time. We spent a lot of time on the lanai as it was so peaceful there with a view of Sylvia's beautiful garden and a distant view of the ocean. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and eating on the lanai while listening to and watching the various birds. Each day, we were delighted to find fresh fruit from her garden, and she even made us some of her special papaya salad. On our last night, we were treated to a sunset-view, gourmet dinner upstairs with Sylvia, Karen and some of their friends. During our stay, Karen was very helpful with suggesting things to do and providing us with information. What an incredible experience! We will definitely be back!
