Wow, what a great introduction to the Islands. We love this place. My wife especially liked the well appointed kitchen and we both loved hanging out on the deck overlooking the blue pacific with billowing white clouds and crashing waves on lava cliffs and an occassional rainbow.
Nearby are black sand beaches, snorkling opportunities and laid back state parks. Hawiaii Volcanoes N. P. is only an hour's drive away. We did plenty of exploring but were always happy to return "home" and relax.
Sandy is a great host, the whole experience of renting was effortless and we felt very comfortable at this location. This was our first visit to Hawaii and I have to say we're a bit spoiled now. We can't imagine a better experience on the Islands. We just returned to the mainland and are already thinking about our next visit and hope to return to this exact location.
Mahalo Sandy!
