Tom and Christen’s place was lovely. It was spacious and comfortable for me and my boyfriend. The lanai was top notch. It was very comfortable and had great views of the ocean. We loved having breakfast and dinner out in the lanai as well as hanging out there as much as possible. The place is very convenient to Volcano Park which was the most impressive and unique adventure we did in Big Island. It was also very close to black sand beach where we saw tons of turtles.
The place is an hour from Hilo and just over two hours from Kona so it is in a very convenient location. You can easily do day trips to both areas for exploring if you do not mind driving.
Tom and Christen were very easy to communicate with and quite possibly one of the most transparent hosts I have had. They answered all my questions about the place up front before booking as well as provided me with a lot of information about check-in, check-out, the condo, and to-do lists in Big Island, which was a tremendous help as first time visitors to the island. It was obvious from all our communications they cared about us having a great stay.
I would recommend Tom and Christen’s place to anyone traveling to Big Island and would love to come back! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!
