Most people will write about the view from Kurt & Kana’s beautiful home. But for us, it was the view, amazing food we were treated to, the interesting conversations we had, and their kindness all throughout our stay that won us over. Kurt is a wealth of knowledge who’d share with you all the tips — must do things and must eat places — to make your Big Island vacation a memorable one. We enjoyed every bit of our stay at The Edge and would do it again. Each morning we looked forward to our breakfast when we were treated to fresh fruits and coffee from the farm and enjoyed it over some great conversations with Kurt and other guests staying his place. Our favorite restaurants in the area were — Teshima restaurant for home style Japanese, Shaka Tacos for spicy Hawaiian style tacos, Gypsea Gelato for some amazing dessert (definitely try their Tom Cha and Toasted coconut flavors). There are many amazing thrift stores in the area, and ChoiceMart, which is a five minute drive from Kurt’s place, has a wide collection of great hot meals that you can bring home, and enjoy from Kurt and Kana’s lanai.
