For anyone wishing to stay on the Big Island, you will not find a better home, nor a more gracious host.

Jay and Akemi are wonderful people, and they have created a very special space. The apartment is roomy, open, and wonderfully decorated. It is also really well set up. We cooked almost every evening, and the kitchen ware and utensils were perfect for all our uses. There's even a tea-boiling pot and a toaster oven available.

Jay and Akemi made us feel at home immediately. Their responsiveness to our reservation and requests was really quick, and everything they say about the house in the listing ad is accurate. Even though the photos show the home nicely, they don't really do it justice. The home and its lanai were actually more open and pleasant than we had expected based on the photos.

We found that the Waikoloa location was perfect for us, and enabled us to get around the island quickly and easily.

You won't find a better setting, nor better hosts. This is a really fantastic house!
