The Lehua house was a pleasure to stay at and Eric was a great host. Before we even started the trip he got in contact and made sure all the details were communicated. He was very helpful in suggesting things to do around the area which made our stay that much better.

The house itself is equal parts useful and beautiful. It provides a very relaxing and peaceful living area. We found ourselves most comfortable in the day with the windows open and the music on. The kitchen was fully stocked and we enjoyed many dinners and breakfasts there. There is a local grocery store just a few minutes away that we frequented often. One thing about the Big Island is you may have to drive a fair amount to see all the sights. The advantage of staying in Ocean View is that it is well suited to visit both the east and west side of the island. If you were to stay in Kona, the drive to Volcano NP would take ~4 hours roundtrip (rather than 2h).
