My family and I stayed at Michael's for our first trip ever to Hawaii. The home is secluded away from everything which is what we wanted. The grounds are beautiful and full of little interesting critters (coqui frogs, green lizards and birds). At night you can hear frogs and crickets. Michael's house has all the amenities to make your stay comfortable. Just know that the house water supply is on a catchment system, which most if not all houses on the Big Island are, and is run through a filter. I'm not sure if this was the reason the water pressure was pretty low, especially in the bathroom. As a parent, this made it difficult to bathe the children (I've got 2). If it were just my husband and I, I don't think it would have been an issue. Overall the stay was great!
