Belle Vue is a slice of heaven. Viviane was there to greet us with a refrigerator full of breakfast food and homemade muffins! She encouraged us to get out early and sightsee and gave us tips. She clearly loves the big island. But honestly, we liked nothing better than a leisurely breakfast eaten at her outdoor table overlooking the ocean. The view is incredible. If you want touristy beach, stay further north in a hotel. We loved the location and it was easy to drive up to sand beaches for the day. We did an amazing kayaking/snorkling trip in Kealakekua bay, 10 minutes from Belle Vue. And we liked the funky restaurants/take out on the main road near the bnb. The place itself was very clean. Comfy with plenty of room for a family of 4 including 2 young adult children. We can't wait to return. Highly recommend!!
