Bamboo paradise and Moloka'i: Both so charming and laid back

Staying here was an excellent choice. Carol was very hospitably and constantly showed us Aloha Spirit, from the little touches in the apartment (locally produced soap and fresh flowers from Moloka'i Flower Farm) to her tips (best tip about a hidden beach gem), and she even gave us her own beach chairs to use. The kitchen is very well stocked (blender and coffee grinder much appreciated) and you can open all windows in the cottage for a nice breeze. Amazing water pressure in the shower, though it may not look like it! Great hammock too, loved the time out there. Very easy five-mile drive to town for supplies and the most beautiful beaches are not far. Beach access across the street; we always met the same locals out there walking dogs in the mornings and evenings, all very talkative. All the people of Moloka'i are so wonderful, especially once they see you around a couple times - I highly suggest spending a good week or more here to get the true spirit of the island.
Do not miss: Halawa Valley and Kalani Pruett's flower farm, Purdy's mac nut farm, Coffees of Hawaii cafe with the pretzel drizzled with cream cheese and guava flavor, Kumu farms pesto and Misaki's old school grocer store. The gals at Goodz and Grindz are also a hoot - you get all the good island gossip from them.
Bring good bug spray, though... ;-) the geckos get a lot of the bugs, but still...
Thank you Carol, for your aloha spirit and for opening up this beautiful home to us.
