My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. John and Phyllis gave us a warm welcome and offered great suggestions on things to do and eat and places to check out. They also invited us to try a couple of their home-grown coconuts and we enjoyed the fresh coconut water & flesh. It was a delightful surprise!
We took advantage of the outdoor gas grill and rangetop - almost every night we cooked dinner outdoors while enjoying the ocean view. And it wasI superb to be able to borrow their beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. We brought this beach gear pretty much everywhere we went. We were a comfortable drive away from Kealakekua Bay, Two Steps, the City of Refuge, Hookena Beach, and of course Pebbles Beach which is just 3 min down the hill.
We messaged John whenever we needed/wanted something (whether a cooler for our day trip to Volcanoes National Park or anti-itch cream), and he kindly responded and gave us what we were looking for.
Couple things to note and expect: The road in to the property is pretty steep, so you will need to regularly use low gear on your car to come and go. The nearest grocery store is about a 20 min drive, so depending on your dietary habits, you may need some meal planning; hence our regular dinner cooking sessions. Of course, this is exactly what we were looking for – to stay away from resorts and crowds.
Thank you so much for your generosity and hospitality - this was a wonderful recharge vacation for me and my husband!
