We feel this was an ideal spot to stay on the big island. It's away from the over commercialized and over rated area of Kona, and just outside Hilo where you can obtain anything you need for your trip quickly. It's also located ideally for traveling to any portion of the island. Then there's the beauty of this home, lot, ocean view, and overwhelming size of the place. It's clean and well designed for a very comfortable stay. Lyman is the caretaker and host while you are there and an absolute delight and added treasure to staying at this home. The pool is very nice, we enjoyed the snails that patrol the gardens in the morning, the variety of birds that visit throughout the day and the great breeze you get from the ocean. Just be aware that two properties away is a chicken farm of some sort. You can hear them early in the morning and often throughout the day. Not really a nuisance as far are we were concerned but you do hear them. The hidden gem here, if you are adventurous, is to find a way to get through the back vegetation to the cliffside. Views are spectacular but I suspect the owner would prefer you not venture that way since there is some risk if you are not careful. That being said, my favorite part of the property for sure.
