Bill’s place was exactly what we needed. We hung out in Kona until it near sunset, so we missed a lot of the natural beauty of the area on the drive in. And when he tells you that there are few streetlights on the drive in, he really means it, but as an amateur astronomer, I greatly appreciated that because it meant less light pollution.
When we arrived, the sounds of the coqui frogs from the trees was just INCREDIBLE!
His place is just as described, and had everything we needed, including a large fan that really came in handy! The area is so serene, and we loved sleeping with the windows open to nature.
The next morning, we visited the gallery and gift shop in front, and picked up some souvenirs for home, then drove to the Waipi’o Valley Lookout to see the black sand beach down below—don’t miss it, if you have the time!
