What a perfect and beautiful stay. Our stay on the Big Island was so great also because Kate & Neil's apartment was such a beautiful place. Well equipped with pretty much everything you need (fresh bath and beach towels, sun umbrella, snorkeling gear and a small surf board), it was the perfect place to sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the amazing view down to the Pacific Ocean. A wonderful garden full of fresh fruit surrounds the house - a garden well kept with love by Kate who, on the very first day, had baked for us a welcome banana bread from bananas grown in this garden. Kate and her husband are wonderful hosts, very nice people one can socialize with and who are truly interested in their visitors. If you ever have the opportunity to snatch a couple days at this place, you will not regret it for sure. All thumbs up and a warm Aloha to Kate and Neil.
