Tom and Christen’s place is exactly as advertised. They are definitely Super Hosts. Communication was excellent and we were provided with Island travel tips and information which assisted us in planning our trip. The unit has everything you need for a short or long stay. The pool area, complex facilities and grounds are meticulously maintained. If you love nature, hiking and exploring this place is for you. If you prefer to party then Kona would be a better option. Groceries were not a problem, just stock up upon arrival in Hilo or Kona. Then top up your grocery needs when out and about. There are fruit stands and farmers markets throughout the Island. The Naalehu farmers market which is close by is open every Wednesday. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a 30 drive and the famous Black Sand Beach is a 10 minute walk. There is nothing better than waking up and making a fresh cup of Kona coffee then hopping into a convertible to explore the Island.
My wife and I would book Tom and Christen’s place again when we return to the Big Island.
