This was a great place to hide away and spend some nature time! The location was great for visiting black sands, green sands, and a good in between for our volcanoes national park and Kona night snorkeling adventures! It's definitely a bit of a drive in the dark from Kona but in order to see all we wanted it was a decent home base. It is essentially a little slice of jungle so you will get some rain and bugs, but you also have many lizard companions to keep you entertained! Linda provided bug spray and a citronella candle on the linai for us, and of course the mosquito net for the bed. We arrived after dark due to our flight but found the gate just fine and Linda left the light on for us which was very appreciated! The next morning we explored the lush greenery in the yard and had breakfast on the linai. The bathroom is a very cool and cute setup!! It is open to the breeze and it can get a little chilly at night so we tried to take our showers before it got dark. A robe might be a good item to bring for this reason! I asked several questions over chat and Linda always got back to us quickly, and she gave us a heads up when someone was going to be in the yard to help her out with something. Our stay was very pleasant and we heard more animals than people - just the way we like it!
