We had a fantastic stay at Annette's place. She was very responsive (within a few minutes) when we ran out of a few staples at the house and immediately replenished the supplies. You can see both the ocean and the observatories on top of Mauna Kea from the lanai. The beaches are very close and when you're finished at the beach for the day it's nice to come back to Waimea where the temperature is much cooler. Highly recommended.
