I recently stayed at Ben & Traci Sullivan's StrawberryGuava. Although only a short drive from Hwy 50, you are surrounded by a peaceful privacy only interrupted by the parrots and other birds. The valley in which SG is located envelopes you with a feel of the old Hawaii.
There are many interesting elements to SG. From island woods milled and cut on Kauai to the patina on the copper gutters and back splashes, there are many unique features. The rooms are situated to provide each guest with privacy. They are well laid out, roomy, clean and catch the breeze. Thankfully, there is no TV. The wifi provides instant access to the internet. The view from my suite captured the valley and could have been from a postcard. There are beach items in the room for fun in the sun.
The Sullivans are welcoming, gracious and accomodating hosts. The food is very good. The fruit is fresh and mainly comes from the SG's grounds. Fresh fruit was provided when I was unable to breakfast with other guests due to an early dive boat. The Sullivans are friendly folk, but respect the guests' privacy. They really enbody the aloha spirit.
I would definately return. If you are looking for an oasis of tranquility after a busy south shore day, the SG is for you.
