Peaceful & Private Studio - 12 Acre Hobby Organic Fruit Farm | Playa 10min

We’re sorry Leslie felt uneasy during her short stay. However, several statements in her review don't accurately reflect what happened, so we would like to clarify them for future guests. Our property is a peaceful 12-acre rural property in Haiku and has always been a very safe place. While the entrance does not have an additional deadbolt, the door does have a lock, and the key is secured in a lockbox. The unexpected VRBO message suggesting that the reservation was being “checked out” was a VRBO system issue. As soon as we became aware, I personally called Leslie to explain what happened and reassure her that her reservation was fine. Leslie’s reservation was made for one guest, although two guests were staying. I simply asked whether the studio would be occupied by one or two people so we could make sure the appropriate number of beds were prepared. There was absolutely no issue with having two guests. Regarding the statement that “power outages were often,” there was only one power outage during Leslie’s stay, lasting approximately 30 minutes. This occurred during an unusual El Niño cycle that brought increased hurricane and tropical-storm activity around Hawaii and was entirely outside of our control. We take our guests’ comfort and safety seriously and are always available when concerns arise. We’re sorry that despite our efforts to address Leslie’s concerns, she did not feel comfortable during her stay.

Aloha dear guests! Thank you for your interest in our place! 😊 Just a quick note: The gate code can be found in the section: "Directions and parking / How should guests get to your property?" It has been listed there for about three years, though I’m sorry David missed it and had to ask around. Also, I highly recommend printing or saving the driving directions digitally in case your cell service is spotty in Haiku. Looking forward to hosting you! Mahalo!
