Though it was our first time to the big island, we explored plenty and Hap's place is by far in the best part of the island. Tucked away, private, clean and roomy, with all the essentials.
The geckos are adorable, harmless house companions that I promise you'll miss when you leave. If you want to be surrounded by nature, away from the bustle and limited in internet connection, this is the place for you. It was just what we wanted and couldn't recommend it more for the value of staying in the most beautiful part of the big island. Plenty to explore nearby but close enough to both dry/beachy and wet/cliff areas. You won't regret staying here, Hap is a doll of a host as well. Great vibes.
