This was the perfect rental for our trip to the big island! Ocean View is centrally located between Kona and Hilo and there is no shortage of beaches, trails, and scenic spots nearby. We managed to pack a huge amount of sight seeing and hiking into our stay, simply because of how easy it was to get to everything.
As for the place itself, it was spotless. I've stayed in off-grid rentals before and it can be hit or miss in terms of comfort and cleanliness. Abram's rental was cozy and clean and it made for a great place to relax and unwind after exploring. Also, the night sky here is out of this world amazing. We had a great time looking up and finding constellations and planets.
The rental is very kid-friendly, too. Our daughter was home with her grandma, but next time we will definitely be bringing her. There is a trampoline, lots of toys, and room to explore and play.
For an off grid cabin, this home also includes a lot of the amenities you would expect from a more traditional rental such as hot running water, a flush toilet, comfy beds, and a full kitchen. The yard is home to an extensive array of edible plants and fruit bearing trees. Abram had picked a variety for us when we arrived, including dragon fruit, chili peppers, and papaya.
If you want an affordable, centrally located, and comfortable home base for your big island adventure, this is an excellent choice! The home is wonderful and Abram and his daughter, Sarayah, were excellent hosts.
