Summary: If you love to snorkel, this is the place to stay! Hounaunau (2 step) is only a few minutes away. We visited our favorite underwater paradise early every morning. The breadbasket bakery lies at the entrance to the driveway, famous for its warm homemade bread and muffins. We relaxed in the hot tub and in a very comfortable bed. The outdoor shower was a high point of our experience. Mango, papaya, allspice and banana trees grow all around, with fresh fruit available. We lounged in our private yard and watched the birds. Kathy is a fantastic host. We loved staying here and plan to return on our next visit.
