Bob's house is located in the beautiful Mauna Lani Villages, a quiet and safe residential neighborhood. The location is great, with a Foodland grocery store (has nice Deli and wine section!) within walking distance, and Makaiwa Bay/Beach Club (great snorkeling!) a short bike ride away. Bob was so kind and promptly fixed up one of his bicycles for me. I rode the bike through the ancient Waipuhi fishponds to Makaiwa Bay and snorkeled - so nice! You can drive there, too, with the Beach Club pass he has. Other great beaches of South Kohala coast like Hapuna, Mauna Kea, and Waialea are also short drive away.
The house is just beautiful - gorgeous kitchen, Lanai with garden views, spacious living area - all very clean and stylish. The King room is upstairs, has an attached tiled bathroom with walk-in showers. You'll be sharing the common area, but the room is really nice and very private. There's AC but we had no need to use it at all in November. The ceiling fan and the trade winds from the window made it totally comfortable.
Bob is a great guy, very accommodating, and knowledgeable about the areas, so just ask him any questions you may have. I'd told him that I wanted to see some sea turtles, and he actually took me to the nearby beach - and guess what, mission accomplished!! I really enjoyed my stay and I highly recommend Bob's place, along with his super co-host Cooper the dog! :-) Again, Mahalo, Bob!!
