Kurt and Nariko were amazing hosts! They greeted us when we arrived and had many recommendations for us to do on Big Island. Even though they had to head out of town during our stay, they checked in daily to make sure we had everything we needed. The unit was very clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. The bathroom + small kitchen setup was a bit odd, but very functional. The beach gear was a great bonus; they even let us borrow a pair of binoculars, which made seeing the bubbling lava at Volcanoes National Park the top excursion of our whole trip! The lower deck was very spacious and gave us a great view of the ocean. The location was in a safe and quiet neighborhood besides the nightly chorus of serenading frogs. The driveway was steep and a bit dark at night, but manageable. If we came back to Big Island again, we wouldn't hesitate to book this place again. We highly recommend it!
