After a year as missionaries in Micronesia on the way home via Hawaii we desperately needed a real quiet & relaxing time for ourselves. The stay in Cheryl & Larry Andresen's condo was perfect, the owners and their local friend taking are of the condo are wonderful, very nice, communicative and accommodating. Every possible information regarding the property, the surroundings and the island was provided. It is obvious that the property is furnished and maintained with a heart :-). It is equipped with almost everything imaginable for an autonomous stay, the place is cosy but perfect for two people and the king-size bed upstairs is very comfortable with a sufficiently hard mattress. Moving back home, we travelled with quite a load of luggage, still managing to place it 'somewhere'.
The Kepuhi Resort itself is rather old and many buildings are abandoned, nevertheless there is a small store open every day until 5pm. The airport as well as 'serious' grocery shopping and going out for dinner are approximately 1/2h by car (be aware of opening hours/days). The beach is wonderful (max. 10min walk from the corner condo), very private and quiet; the awesome sea for swimming was just what we needed during our stay (the waters are otherwise very dangerous during winter months). Yes, of course, the sunsets are also great, and, if you sneak out very quietly onto the balcony at night, you'll be surrounded with a huge herd of grazing deer which are also a real menace on the roads, so drive carefully! One cannot hear the waves in this condo, but the Andersen's have another one (occupied during our dates) closer to the rocky part of the beach where one would be able to hear them at night (for us, a balm for the nerves :-)
Thank you again for a warm welcome and a perfect stay!
