The bungalow is definitely a very fun and affordable place to stay on the Big Island! It is about a 1.5 hour drive to Kona and Hilo and is in a bit more remote area, but it is close to the green sands and black sand beaches in the south. The living room area, the kitchen, and the bathroom are all outside (sheltered by a roof) while the bedrooms are indoors. Our hosts were wonderful and kind - Deanne gave us some delicious apple bananas straight off their trees and butter mochi when we arrived. I highly recommend this place, but be mindful that this is a bit more of an "adventurous" choice over other more expensive stays. And be sure to bring mosquito repellent, especially for the nights!
