What a special place! We wanted to find a quiet place to enjoy the true beauty of the Big Island, away from all the tourists, and have a centralized place to explore the southern and eastern parts of the island - while not being hours away from KOA airport. This was it! The house itself is just lovely. It's extremely comfortable, well laid out, and nicely stocked. The linens are newer, and all the necessities are there. That was important, because I'm not sure we really understood how remote the location was. Definitely take time to review the extremely detailed notes Albert sends in advance! He does an exceptional job sharing tips and advice on how to appropriately provision, and, how to access the incredibly special places to visit nearby. Honomolino Beach in particular was amazing... we went during a weekday and were literally the only people there for hours! We hiked a LOT, and toured local coffee farms, an organic mac nut (macadamia) farm, visited the volcano, and went to Punalu'u Bakery. You have to go to the bakery! We also cooked every single night; we usually got fresh fish from the man at the front of the neighborhood in his truck selling ono, and grabbed local produce from the small markets in Ocean View. The view from the house is awesome, and the sunsets are breath-taking - best viewed from a chair at the top of the driveway. FYI - it is HOT in July, and most homes there do not have A/C, so be prepared and make sure to turn on all the fans they provide to get the air moving around. We had a fantastic time, thank you Albert for everything!
