This home is absolutely gorgeous and perfect, if you don't mind being quite isolated from stores, restaurants, and other activities. It is so artistically decorated and peaceful that we didn't want to leave. The pool is great, refreshing, and convenient. There's an easy walk to the cliffs and lava fields. We couldn't find the access to the water and preferred going up or down the coast to partake of ocean opportunities. It is further south of Captain Cook than I expected, about 45 min drive. There's a decent grocery in the town of Captain Cook, Choicemart. Best to stock up here since once you are at the airbnb, there isn't much close by in terms of essentials. We loved going kayaking in Captain Cook, renting at Ehu & Kai. Go to the bathroom before you arrive, as there are no facilities there. Once on the bay, seeing dolphins up close is pretty exciting. Eating dinner in at the rental was best for us, in order to avoid driving in the dark on those curvy roads. The South Kona Fruit stand is really lovely with great venue for enjoying one of their sandwiches or snacks. All in all, we loved the rustic days and nights in this beautiful home. It's so quiet!
