What can I say? It was absolutely fantastic. The location is a bit hard to find at night, but the instructions are very accurate. We found the accommodations to be exactly what is described and the neighborhood is perfect. Quiet and relaxing. If you are not used to Coquis (which people mistake for cicadas) you will have a couple of long nights until you get used to them, but we had no issues... we even joked about recording them to bring home with us to help us sleep.
We loved Ernesto on the corner with the fresh veggies and fruit, such a lovely man. You definitely have to check out Uncle Roberts on Wednesday nite! Fabulous! But do not eat before you go... big mistake... lots of food, local art and music... such a great time.
You definitely need a vehicle, as you may think that you can walk to Kehena beach, which you can, may take you 20 minutes though. Uncle Roberts is a good 10 minute drive though, which we did not mind.
Mike the innkeeper is awesome. He is there when you need him and always available for questions or suggestions. We heard some great stories from him and he really made us laugh and made our stay so much more enjoyable.
The location, we found was close to perfect... it took us 2 1/2 hours to get to Wiapio Valley and (northern tip) and would have taken 3 hours to get to Kona, had we not made detours to enjoy the fabulous scenery all the way to south point. We absolutely would stay there again.
A very HUGE Mahalo to Mike for everything!!! Hopefully we will make it to the Big Island again for a visit!!!
