The house looks smaller in real life, but don't let the look fool you. You will have everything you need. It has a full kitchen, so you can grab some fresh local ingredients and cook up a storm. There is also a big gas stove outside the house. At first, I was a bit worried. After two days, I can see myself living happily in this house.
But keep in mind that the houses are running on solar-powered batteries, which means they can run out. So if you have other guests living next to you, please be mindful of your energy consumption.
12 mins drive to the Kailua-Kona area, where you will find lots of great restaurants/bars/shops. And if you drive 6mins into the mountain, you will find the fantastic Makuala O'Oma Hiking Trail, and Mountain Thunder Coffee Farm is on the way, so maybe a cup of coffee after the hike? (only because that hiking trail is not really 'walking-with-a-cup' friendly)
It will take you roughly the same time to drive to the north/south sides of the big island, which is also a plus.
Judith is a fantastic host, super responsive, considerate, and kind. I am glad I booked my two weeks trip at BITV and supporting this eco-friendly practice. I highly recommend BITV to you, and I, for sure, will be back for more.
