Buck truly puts the Super in Super host. Went beyond the extra mile to help us out, offer suggestions, and that amazing morning coffe...The cottage could not have been more perfect. Super comfy king size bed, a very capable kitchenette, and an awesome semi-outdoor shower. A comfortable outdoor feel, with the peaceful sounds of the ocean and tree frogs giving off a soothing ambience like no other. Mini lanai for a nice evening cocktail and Buck even offers up his personal amazing ocean view porch for your use. 5 minute walk from an incredible (clothing optional) secluded black sand beach. Short drive from the tide pools on the south east coast (some of the best snorkeling on the big island). Great home base if youre looking to explore the lava fields and lava ocean entry at Kalapana. If you're visiting the big Island, you're wrong if you don't stay with Buck.
