We loved our stay at Edward's place. It's clean, thoughtfully appointed, well positioned for those seeking a quiet, very private stay and/or a base to explore the west coast of the Big Island, and the ocean view and sunsets are spectacular! George Sr., our on-site host, was a treasure. He was full of wonderful stories, generous hospitality, and an attentive but always respectful presence.
The property is large, almost rambling, with a queen bed. It's part of an avocado farm, about 1500 ft. above sea level on the mountain. Our arrival was in early evening and the twilight made approaching the place potentially dicey but completely eased by the excellent directions and George Jr.'s cheerful guidance on the phone as we approached. We would, however, advise arriving during full light if possible. Being on a farm means lots of heavily laden fruit trees, the requisite number of free-range chickens, and even 4 sheep munching away under the trees.
We ate in (on the lanai) most of the time - there is a working gas grill - but there are also plentiful restaurants in the area. Our advice, avoid the Chinese place in the ChoiceMart/TrueValue plaza and note that ChoiceMart is on the upper level and is not visible from Hwy 11. Yes, there is a story there.... The kitchen is well equipped but you won't find a past guest's left over food in the fridge or cabinets - bring your own spices and olive oil. Internet and TV are good but why watch the idiot box when you have the Pacific Ocean to look at. BTW, we'd recommend the snorkeling off the Captain Cook monument; the water is clear and the saline plentiful.
We will definitely return to Edward's Place and, we hope, sooner rather than later.
