Joshua and Geneva are born to be the bestest hosts. Every little detail in the place was cared for from the art , natural elements in furniture to the fresh flowers and fruits welcoming . This place is one of the best homes we have ever stayed inThe kitchen was so well equipped and stocked (beyond our imagination). And the beach gear, home slippers, charging station each little detail for a comfortable stayJoshua and Geneva were in constant communication with us and the best part was they nudged us to go see the eruption before it ends and we had a once in a life time opportunity. This is is the pinnacle of what short term rentals should be. No notes! Mahalo Joshua and Geneva for a memorable and inspiring vacation and sharing your labor of love with us.

Excellent choice for families who would like to experience nature comfortably with small children who can’t camp yet. Joshua and Geneva are amazing hosts. Everything from descriptions, check in instructions, local recommendations and a very thoughtful welcome gift exudes brilliance. I would love for an opportunity to stay again.
