Meiko’s place was absolutely amazing! My dad grew up in Hawaii so we visit often and have stayed in many places on the big island over the years but this was by far one of our favorites! Her place is probably one of the cleanest that we have stayed in and she had everything that we could have possibly needed! Meiko herself seems extremely nice and made sure to check in to make sure we found the place and got settled in! She gives you very clear instructions on how to locate the property and her welcome book that provides everything you need to know about the house and surrounding areas was extremely helpful during our stay! I would highly recommend checking out the pebble beach at the end of the road as well as the “secret” black sand beach that is just a short hike! Both were beautiful and very minimal people (only two other people at the pebble beach and we had the black sand beach to ourselves!). We spent time at both of these beaches whenever we felt like just relaxing with out having to drive anywhere or be in the crowds! We also got to pick a few good mangos in the garden which made the most delicious smoothies! The neighborhood was quiet and whenever we did walk/drive past people they always made nice gestures. Overall our stay at Meiko’s was perfect and I hope to have the opportunity to return in the future! Maholo Meiko!!!!
