WOW what a great place Jim has created there. The studio is very well stocked with all that we needed for our visit and much much more. The accommodations are private, in a detached studio/cottage which is really clean, well decorated with a nice table and chairs, has a GREAT bed and wonderful linens, a sweet new kitchenette, plenty of storage space, and a big bathroom with both shower and bathtub. Jim provides lots of extra towels including some nice beach towels. Although we brought shampoos and soap the bathroom was stocked with everything. We did drink some of Jim's Kona coffee that he provided and ate a nice avocado that was left for us in a nice fruit basket. The view from up there is spectacular and the gardens and landscaping is so beautiful. Jim has truly created a paradise in paradise and made it very affordable to stay and enjoy. The thing that was really helpful for us is Jim's very thorough Welcome Book that he made with great suggestions on restaurants, beaches and attractions. Jim's explanations and directions lead us on back streets and beaches that we would not have found, if our only resource were the tourist mags. We felt like we had the inside scoop on things to do, where to go and how to get there. Our time was short on the Kona side of the island but because Jim has everything laid out so perfectly in his welcome book we were able to waist no time getting down to the FUN and Beauty that the Big Island has to offer.
Thank YOU Jim!! You really made our stay wonderful.
