This place is situated perfectly for Kohala and north beaches, or to travel to Waimea/Volcanos National Park . Rick and Malis were extremely welcoming and friendly, and provided us with a small cooler, daily ice, beach (camping) chairs, and a snorkel mask. And, I almost forgot, plenty of Rick's smoked Ono. The place is attached to their house, so if you are uncomfortable with running into your homeowners, this may not be the place for you. However, it was the perfect place for us and our interests: Kohala beaches!
