Delphine's father Guy was waiting for us when we arrived on a dark, rainy night. He gave us a warm welcome and entertained us with amusing, informative tales and facts about himself and the Big Island. The house was situated on a hill south of Captain Cook on the southwest side of the island. It overlooked the Pacific Ocean, giving us an absolutely beautiful sunset and comfortable breeze on the wrap-around balcony. It was ideally located for exploration of the west and south coasts: one hour from the Kona International Airport and 1.5 hours from the Volcanoes National Park. The rooms were clean, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the living room was comfortable with a cable TV. Equipments for various water sports were available. It was a wonderful stay for our family of four. It is highly recommended.
