Rainfall and Island Hospitality
This stay was unlike any other campsite I’ve booked this summer. My favorite part of the experience was the rain. It rained every day I was here, and the view from the cabin was refreshingly peaceful and spectacular.
One of the most unique features of the cabin is the open roof cover, where lilikoi vines grow up and through the structure out front, producing passion fruit and creating a beautiful green canopy. Red hibiscus flowers are scattered throughout the property, along with mango and banana trees. The open landscape also provides beautiful views of the sunrise and sunset.
The outdoor shower is nearby and has warm water from a solar water heater. The cabin feels private enough to keep the doors open at night and enjoy the fresh air. The property is gated, and you can park your vehicle conveniently near the unit.
Because of the frequent rain, the property can get muddy. I’d recommend bringing rain boots, hiking boots, or Crocs, or simply going barefoot if you enjoy connecting your feet to the earth.
The location is also a great spot for exploring the North Shore and is near Puʻu O Mahuka Heiau State Historic Site. Whether you’re interested in visiting nearby cultural and historic sites or simply enjoying the scenery of the North Shore.
I don’t meet the hosts at every location I stay at, so I especially appreciated the hospitality here. I was given fresh passion fruit and strawberry guava, a small red fruit commonly found around Oʻahu and often used to make jam.
