Having never been to Hawaii, I have found paradise right here in this home on this island. The house is perfect with all anyone needs to survive in this garden.
-Tracey M.   Oakland, CA

Once again, a wonderful time at your rental house - many thanks Ben! During our stay we occasionally left the lanai to go diving, bird watching and volcano watching. It got a little tiring having to look at all those humpbacks, spinner dolphins, manta rays, and colorful fish!

Our 4th visit and awesome as always. We got in great snorkeling, several times right here. Saw more eels than ever, a turtle, and a feeding eagle ray + spectacular fishes. But mostly relaxing, eating avocados every day plus more fresh fruit than we ever get on the mainland. Life is good here, can't wait for another visit.
