A truly beautiful property with an abundant and well maintained garden that is a real steal for what it is priced at. The garden is a real highlight as it has many different species of plants to observe and is quite large. It is very relaxing to stroll through during the morning. The actual housing is very well designed and comfortable. It has many large windows that let in plenty of natural sunlight and has actual functional seating that lets one do work if so desired. It comes with all the amenities that you could possibly need and really feels like home. We cooked most of our meals here and the kitchen is very well stocked - no BBQ if that's your thing - with a new gas stove/oven, and even a juicer, rice cooker, blender, and of course coffee maker.
The location is remote, but that is part of the charm. It is located in a really neat community called Seaview and if you get the chance, try to book your stay so that you can be around for Sunday when the community gets down with a party in the local park with many food vendors. The location is near many attractions such as the MacKenzie state recreation area, Isaac Hale beach park (has hotsprings!), the lava fields near Kalapana, and the brave set of people who have rebuilt on top of lava fields at the end of Kaimu-Chain of Craters Rd (definitely worth a see). It is difficult to accurately illustrate how beautiful this area of the island is and all I can encourage you to do is to drive along 137, which runs along the coast, to get a sense of the many beautiful scenes to be had.
Elizabeth has a wonderfully helpful and responsive property manager named Yvette who has many helpful suggestions on what to see as well. We wholeheartedly recommend this property as a stay, and of all the locations - we were at five others - we stayed at during our month long visit on the island this was the most special and beautiful.
