This is a a beautiful, peaceful place. It's at the end of a road, surrounded by greenery. The main bedroom, living room and lanai have a spectacular 180-degree ocean view. The kitchen has a fairly complete stock of implements, and the house has a washer, dryer and clothesline. Both bedrooms have comfortable king-sized beds. There are a couple of additional places to sleep ( or just lay around) on the lanai.
We loved being here. It's a wonderful value and location. The furnishings are a little funky, but comfortable. The house is not spotless, but clean enough. We loved the amazing nightly sunsets, the peace and quiet, and the ability to fix our own meals and watch Netflix. It was so relaxing here. The slight elevation means the house is cooler than at sea-level, and Guy (Delphine's dad) was kind enough to provide us with plenty of fans.
Guy also showed us how to feed the beautiful Gold dust geckos that come to the porch, and we delighted in watching them every morning. He is very kind, easygoing, helpful and interesting. He gave us lots of useful information to make our trip enjoyable.
You don't need to worry about driving to the house, it's easy to make it in a regular car. The water was no problem. You might want to pack some insect repellent as a few small mosquitoes made it into the lanai. I was the only one of our party who was bitten, however.
We mainly come to Hawaii to snorkel, and this house is close to the best snorkeling places on the island. It's about a 22 min. drive to Ho'okena, where we were able to snorkel with dolphins; about 30 minutes to "Two Step" and the "Place of Refuge" National Park, and about 35 to Kealakekua Bay. At Kealakekua Bay we rented a kayak, paddled across to the Captain Cook Monument and were able to snorkel near dolphins and a large manta ray on the way across. Near the monument the water is beautifully clear, with a lovely variety of fish and other aquatic life. There is snorkeling equipment at the house, but if you really want to enjoy yourself, it's best to bring your own. That you know it will fit. If you want to snorkel it's also good to bring moleskin, as you can get blisters from the fins even if they fit very well.
Before we came to this house, we stayed two nights at a very fancy hotel (The Mauna Kea). Honestly, we enjoyed our time at this house just as much. We would come back here in a minute.
