Immediately upon arrival I saw I had made the correct choice. The space is located in a delightful and friendly neighborhood with a lot to do within walking distance (but I do suggest renting a car for the big island). Highly suggest kayaking over to Captain Cook's monument as it was one of the highlights of our trip. You can walk down the street to meet Rufus and rent kayaks right there. The studio itself is huge with everything you need. Jill even brought us fresh fruit grown right there on the property. Jill has a binder with tons of suggestions for food and things to do. Follow that!
