Ambient forest noises at night and a good view of the ocean/sunset during the day. The host is great, very friendly and helpful - was willing to help me settle in late at night even though I checked myself in. He even stocked some complimentary fresh fruits and a bag of coffee from the farm which was nice. The home was clean, beautiful and comfortable. You can see the neighbors house so it's not totally private, but they're far enough you'll have complete privacy when indoors. There's not much in walking distance, but if you have a car you'll be between some interesting locations. I think I remember reading there's a beach in walking distance but I drove everywhere. I really enjoyed my stay here; I would recommend if you're looking for a real feel of big island life and not that generic resort stuff.
