What a lovely place to stay in an equally gorgeous area on the Big Island! J.J.'s home had plenty of room for my family and I: a nice large kitchen with plenty of counter space for cooking, a comfortable living room to relax in, nice beds, and finally an airy, inviting lanai with a great view of the Pacific Ocean on the horizon. I've spent quite a bit of time on the Big Island over the years and, and this area along the Kalapana Coast might be my favorite of all. The neighborhood of Seaview where this pleasant airbnb is located compliments this rugged and striking coastline perfectly, lots of cute houses and a large "lawn" about the size of a football field right at the entrance to Seaview that overlooks the ocean. It's an easy walk from J.J.'s home to the "lawn" for a picnic (palm trees offer plenty of shade) or to watch a spectacular sunrise or sunset (yes you get a nice view of both from this area!). The surreal black sand beach Kahena is also a mere 2-3 minute drive from Seaview so you also have ocean access right nearby, which is actually not that common along this coastline. We felt transported to another world while we stayed at J.J's - a great airbnb at a great price :)
