This Airbnb is truly a gem if you are looking to mix comfortable vacation lodging with being immersed in the Big Island wilderness. The view of the ocean is truly breathtaking, especially at sunset. The house was very cozy and does a good job keeping the insects out (again you really feel like you are in the forest here). Still be sure to bring ample insect repellent if you want to spend time on the porch or the lawn chairs. We also enjoyed the separate bathroom which is only 10 steps from the main cottage. The kitchen was excellent and very sufficient for doing home cooked meals.
The distance away from Kona was a major plus for us, as it was closer to many of the places we ventured to in the southern part of the island. Also, its close surroundings are beautiful and remote, including the beaches only miles from the cottage. Be sure to ask for tips on where to travel from the host- he has the best tips on where to go on the Big Island, both near and far.
This is a special spot to enjoy your time on Hawai'i!
