My husband and I loved the setting, food, other guests and our hostess. We felt totally at ease and cared for in this B&B. It is a great space for business and fun.

This B&B is my favorite in Hawaii. Why? Beautiful setting, charming decorations, cozy and comfortable rooms, comfortable beds, great custom-made breakfasts, close to beaches and recreation, and solid construction makes Claudia's B&B a first class treat.
Not to mention high-speed internet access, and even a computer with printer to ...
