White Sand Homestay

The homestay is close to the coast. For those who love the sea, it is a bonus. Can watch the sea from the balcony. In the morning, one can also take a relaxing stroll to the park nearby. The boss is very helpful as he would recommend good food to eat and where the food are located.

The host is certainly a superhost who looked after us well. He came to the train station to collect our luggages so that we could travel to Taroko Gorge straight away. We certainly enjoyed our stay there.

Nothing

Cleanliness is number 1 for me (I have bad allergies to dust, mold, smoke, perfume oils, all the stuff in nature) and this place is very clean. Location is second and this homestay is oceanfront while close to the city center. (While others are on the boardwalk to watch the sunrise, you can do the same in your pajamas from the comfort of your balcony or the rooftop patio. Or you can cross the street to join them on the boardwalk. I enjoyed the sunrise at 6 a.m. from my balcony with a cup of coffee and in my pajamas every morning of my 4 night stay, thus the 4 pictures of sunrise.) About a 4 minute walk to the night market. About a 10 minute walk to the city center for all the food and shopping you could ever want to do while on vacation in Haulien. The owner is very helpful and genuinely kind. Hearing the waves and seeing the ocean from my room is worth the price paid. I definitely would stay here again and recommend to my friends and family. I am not putting this in the "didn't like" section because it isn't a "didn't like" for me (actually, it's not even a consideration for me when booking) but it may be for some. Breakfast is milk tea and a sandwich of the day from a local sandwich ("toast") place. If you want a full menu breakfast, a buffet breakfast or a western type breakfast, pick one of the large chain hotels in the area. (This place has 6 rooms to rent and no kitchen.) I'm a picky eater, even in the U.S., so I book solely on cleanliness and location and figure I can get the food of my choice nearby.

Nothing. Everything exceeded my expectations.
