Nice out of the way place, yet close to the restaurants, beaches and many scenic places. Larry is a great host and very friendly and helpful, yet not imposing. He gives great information with good knowledge of the area, but only if you ask, he is very quiet and reserved. Answered our questions of best local restaurants, Humpy's, Umekes and Huggo's on the Rocks, for local dishes and discovered he also supplies them with some of his ocean catches at times. We highly recommend staying with Larry and Valerie (even though she was visiting the mainland) during your stay on the Big Island of Hawaii, we will on our next visit and a longer visit too.
