Response from the owner
Thank you for your 5 star review. Im glad you enjoyed the birds you could hear (and see ) at the house. There is quite a variety since the house is located in one of the last native ohia rainforests in the state of Hawaii. We hope to see you on your next visit to the big island. Aloha!
