Michael's place is AWESOME! So nice to be one with nature and just enjoy the Hawaiian sun. My husband and I travel the island a lot (I believe this was our 5th trip) and typically stay half our time on Kona side and the other half on Hilo side since both are very different! Michaels house is nice and open with a great ceiling fan to circulate the air! The outdoor shower was so refreshing, on the best outdoor showers we've ever had! The WiFi worked awesome, which was very useful since there is ZERO cell service in that area.
We loved this place! Definitely will be staying here again when we make our next trip! Michael and his crew were easy to get a hold of, and were great at giving recommendations/suggestions for things to do or where to find more information on things. We loved MeowMeow, and there was a duck that wondered the property (we called him Doug the Duck), which my 9month old child though was fun to watch. Overall great experience!
This place is off grid (which is what my husband and I both enjoy doing), so one should do their research and learn what that means before booking.
