Scooter is a natural host. He thinks of every thing you may need during your stay. And if you need something that is not in the studio, he gets it for you. If you want, he can give you lots of information about the island. Also in the studio is a Big Island up to date travel guide and a bird book. He created a guest information book with lots of tips about the island. Access is down a steep road, but any car can do it. We had a midsize rental. Went into first gear. No problem, just like some streets in San Francisco. The road is paved (no snow or ice problems). The property is on flat land. A few steps gets you to the studio. Two outdoor seating areas invite you to drop your luggage and enjoy the lush gardens. Scooter will great you and explain everything in the studio. All the sundries are good quality items, soaps shampoo and so on. Brand new bathroom with great hot water, lush towels. Queen size bed with extra blankets if needed. It is much cooler up on the hill (1300 feet up) than by the ocean. No air conditioner is needed. An overhead fan and good cross winds keep the place cool. The frogs can be loud, we gotten used to them.
Kitchenette has a big fridge, microwave, big toaster oven and a few more small appliances that help with meal preparation. No stove.
Scooter saved a big papaya on a tree, so we could pick it ourselves. From the neighbor we gotten star fruit. Very quiet neighborhood. We loved the location. 20 minutes into the big town. Just up the street some restaurants and a small supermarket. 20-30 minutes to the beaches. When you arrive at the airport, fetch a map by the baggage pickup. Stop at Costco close to the airport or Saveway to get your food. Enjoy paradise.
