The best little house! We arrived late but Carol was very accommodating to us and gave clear directions on how to find the place (the GPS coordinates are accurate). The space itself was lovely with everything one could need :)

Carol was a wonderful and welcoming host, taking the time to show us around her slice of paradise and answer any questions we had. The tiny house was very comfortable and well appointed, and the outdoor kitchen was easy to use. The bathroom facilities were clean and easy to use. We would definitely stay again!

Truly magical!

With kids

My spouse and our 2 boys stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it! Keep in mind the road noise can be busy at night (earplugs would be an easy solution), but the beauty of the land and lovely lanai is totally worth it! The location was great for exploring the north side and it’s very close to lapahoehoe point and the kids loved to swim in the tide pools. Truly magical and Carol is a wonderful host! We would stay here again and hope to one day!

True old Hawaiian experience

We had a great stay at Carol's place. It was a rustic small cabin/house with outside shower, kitchen, and a very clean outhouse. It was an older shed that had been refurbished, very eclectic and clean. Nothing fancy but had everything you needed to unwind and experience the true Hawaiian countryside. Carol provides comfortable beds with linens, towels, coffee maker, pots, and utensils for cooking. Although no internet, there were lots of DVD movies and TV monitor, although the peacefulness is much better. The well maintained grounds were filled with fruit trees and lots of Hawaiian plants. Carol and her friendly cats treated us with the best of care. We will certainly be back since we are retired on the southside of the island. Mahalo!

Two story tiny house with a fence

With kids

Very quaint little house with amenities and a fenced in garden/lawn. This worked out great for us as there were flooding rains that night. Keep in mind location is next to highway and lastly host is 10/10 very kind and made sure to greet us on arrival and do a walk around. Thank you we appreciated the little spot :)
