Kepi's place is adorned with so many beautiful Hawaiian arts. You can tell she put a lot of time and thought into making it a tropical paradise. While being on the "wet" side of the Big Island, the weather was lovely! There was no rain during our entire stay between 12/21-12/24. We were able to check out the Volcanic National Park just 45 minutes away and went star-gazing at Mauna Kea just an hour away. Richardson Ocean Park (which Kepi recommended) was a lovely spot: easy parking, well maintained. Perfect for the whole family. We loved our stay, and would definitely recommend.
