This house is so clean. The view is incredible. Plan to go and relax and cook in at home. Visit the green sand beach (be ready to hike 1 hour each way or pay the locals to drive you!) and the black sand beach with the turtles near by. The food in the little town is also good, and there’s a nice grocery option behind/attached to the gas station. Get your main stuff in Kona before you come down, but there’s a decent selection at this grocery store in town too. It’s a bit of a trek to all things Kona, so be prepared for the 1-1.5 hour drive if you have activities planned in that area. We really enjoyed a snorkel and sail trip near captain cook, and the drive didn’t bother us too much. There are some not so good areas about 20 minutes from the house behind/near the L and L BBQ. I wasn’t prepared for the amount of homelessness and drug problems I saw while on Hawaii (not just in this area, but during our week up north as well). This has nothing to do with Catherine’s home, but just an observation of what I saw on the island. Catherine’s home is safe and has security cameras, and I didn’t see anything problematic going on near her house, but maybe avoid the L and L BBQ area, especially at night. This house is stocked full of all the things you need to cook, do laundry, and relax. It was probably one of the best air b and b’s I’ve ever rented. The garden/yard is also gorgeous. Really can’t beat it.
