Good for the soul! An experience you won't get in Kona. Loved the spacious lanai, looking out over the private, tropical yard and ocean. The breezes, sounds and smells- a sanctuary. Most comfy bed ever. The outdoor shower was incredible-plenty of privacy, a great way to deal with sand, and taking a shower outdoor in November in absolute comfort- only in HI! An easy walk to downtown Hawi, a quant historical town with some amazing food options and boutiques. This host was especially warm and welcoming, as was her small terrier Kiko. Also very respectful. She's provided several extras like beach chairs, towels, cooler and boogie boards. As other reviews have mentioned there are sounds of roosters and dogs in neighboring properties. This was an issue the first night. However, not at all once we found the earplugs in the bathroom and closed some windows before the rooster party starts-4:30 am. Such a magical place. In Kona now, wishing I was back in Hawi!
