We hosted a family get-together, coming from across the US - Cheryl's beautiful house was the perfect place! We snorkeled, kayaked, danced, hiked (ex: to the volcano!), and took in cultural sites. We hung out at the house, catching up on each other's lives while cooking, enjoying leisurely brunches and dinners on the ocean-facing balcony. We shared some dvd & streaming favorites.The house itself is so pleasant - it's furnished in beautiful island style. It has gorgeous ocean views, including from the breezy wrap-around deck. The bedrooms are clean, comfortable, and decorated so you wake up appreciating you’re in Hawaii. It’s the perfect place to unwind after the day's activities. The kitchen is well-stocked with pots, pans, dishes, utensils, a coffee maker, and everything else you need to prepare family meals. Extras include an outdoor barbecue on the deck, a game room, TVs, a DVD player with a small eclectic DVD library, and access to streaming. Outside, Cheryl generously provides kayaks, boogie boards, and some snorkel gear you can borrow. It's a short walk to the ocean and a quick drive to spectacular snorkeling.To top it all off, Cheryl is an exceptional host. She’s incredibly warm and friendly, and she knows the island inside and out. She gave us outstanding recommendations for local food, dancing, and nature adventures like hiking and snorkeling spots. You can ask her anything and she will probably know the answer. We couldn't have asked for a better family reunion!
