I split this trip between the 'Cottage' and the 'Treehouse'. They are both lovely, comfortable accommodations, essentially a mirror image of each other.
Debi provides excellent clear helpful instructions to locate and enter the property.
The rental properties include more than enough bedding, towels, and household touches.
Debi ensures that the kitchen is amply supplied with appliances (including bbq) and cookware, and all the essentials to get you started until you can get to the supermarket. Even a few extra locally-sourced treats such as fresh eggs from the resident chickens, locally-grown Kona coffee, local macadamia chocolates, and fresh farm fruit when available (the apple-bananas were delicious!).
Beach gear is available (folding chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear) which is so convenient for fly-in guests. Guests will often leave unused sunblock, shampoo, etc. as well as unfinished groceries ... it's worth checking the cupboards before buying more, and then demonstrating the aloha spirit by continuing that tradition for subsequent guests.
Debi and Bob are charming, gracious hosts ... they are people of strong faith who are very invested in their guests' enjoyment of the property and of all the Big Island has to offer, and they have some great stories to share. They were available for questions and they checked in periodically to make sure I had everything I needed.
It is so enjoyable waking to the sounds of the sheep, the chickens, and the tropical birds, as well as the amazing views. The resident Labradors and the Doodles are an adorable presence.
This is an ideal home base for enjoying the Big Island, and the welcoming aloha spirit of the hosts is a large part of that.
Mahalo to Debi and Bob!
