Our stay was great! Cherie is a wonderful host. The home is well-stocked with kitchen, beach, and snorkel items (microwave, coffee, dishes, beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc.) and cell phone chargers in each bedroom. The beds are comfortable. There are fruit trees right at your back door. The location is great for exploring the island. It’s about 1.5 hours from Kona and 1.2 hours from Hilo. With a rental car, you can explore both sides of the island with this home base easily. There are stops along the way in each direction - on the way to Hilo: Volcano Winery, Whitman Park, Punalu Black Sand Beach; to Kona: South Point, Two Step, - just to name a few. Naalehu is a small town less than a mile from the home with the southern most US bakery (Punalu Bake Shop) and bar (Southside Shaka), a few lovely coffee shops and food offerings, as well as a Wednesday farmer’s market. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the future.
