5/5 Yuen Q. 11 months ago on Google
I
was
looking
for
a
warm
place
when
the
weather
got
cold
in
NYC.
Taking
advantage
of
the
remote
working
situation.
I
traveled
a
lot
in
2021
and
2022,
also
lived
in
Mexico
many
months.
I
thought
about
Hawaii
this
time,
it’s
far
and
expensive
but
I’d
like
to
give
it
a
chance.
I
planned
to
stay
2
months,
but
I
am
an
official
Hawaiian
resident
now(got
my
Hawaiian
drive
license
lately).
I
connected
with
good
people
whom
I
am
fortunate
to
call
friends.
I
am
also
friend
with
the
founder
and
the
manager.
They
are
open
to
new
ideas
and
willing
to
improve
things
if
you
communicate
with
them.
The
members
plan
many
fun
activities,
surfing,
hiking,
snorkeling,
site-seeing.
You
can
always
find
something
you
are
interested
to
join.
Making
friends
by
common
interest.
The
rooms
are
small
but
not
an
issue
for
me.
The
views
from
my
room
were
spectacular.
I
see
rainbows
among
the
mountains
a
lot.
The
rent
is
not
cheap
but
a
great
deal
comparing
to
what
else
you
can
find
on
the
island.
The
crowd
can
be
different
time
to
time,
but
are
mostly
remote
workers
who
sleep
and
wake
up
early
for
work
during
weekdays.
I
had
no
issues
sharing
bathrooms,
which
was
my
concern
before.
There
are
cleaning
stuff
on
site
everyday
but
you
do
need
to
wash
your
own
dishes
or
place
them
in
the
dishwasher.
Surfbreak
gave
me
some
days
to
stay
for
free
while
I
was
waiting
for
the
closing
of
my
new
home
which
was
greatly
appreciated.
I
still
volunteer
managing
the
cars.
We
help
each
other
in
may
ways.
I
bought
my
1st
home
though
the
founder
RJ’s
best
friend
Daniel(Realtor)
who
is
also
a
good
friend
of
mine
now.
Don’t
hesitate
to
apply
Surfbreak!
I
would
say
responsible
individuals
are
more
likely
to
get
accepted.
They
will
do
background
and
credit
check.
Good
luck!
