I highly recommend Douglas’s place for your stay on the big island. Douglas went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and provided great information on the local area, restaurants, and farmers markets. The studio has lots of room and is well appointed. Waimea is a great home base as well, the best beaches are only 20 minutes away and Waipio valley is a short drive as well. If we return to the Island of Hawaii we would definitely stay with Doug and his family again.
