Guests stay in a private home situated close to the magnificent Hawaiian shoreline, where the crystal clear waters and fabulous coral reefs make for excellent snorkeling. In addition, the proximity of the ancient Pu'uhonua O'Honaunau (Place of Refuge) adds a highly spiritual resonant frequency to the area. The unique residences in this area provide an experience of the local community and Hawaiian lifestyle unlike the tourist venues, yet shopping and a host of island amenities are just a short distance away.
