This is a great place for an extended stay. Paula & Dan are super hosts, very helpful and informative. The view is #1 of any place we have stayed! At first it may seem a bit isolated but that is part of the charm and attraction. Honoka’a is big enough as a local community base, Waimea is near enough, and all of the Big Island’s superior sites and experiences are reachable. You should be prepared to do some driving but that is to be expected on Hawaii. Geckos were amusing, great entertainment on the deck - from which the views are gorgeous during the day and marvelously starlit at night.
