My partner and I purchased a one way ticket to Hawaii and stayed here for our first 6 weeks in the Big Island. We enjoyed being close to the Red Road and spent many days on the lanai - especially in the air chair. We cooked most of our meals at home and this place came fully equipped with everything we needed to make our favorite meals. Black sand beaches are nearby and the views are breathtaking. Heather promptly answered and addressed questions and concerns that arose during our stay. Overall, we'd recommend.
