Ocean Spirit is a great spot if you're looking for something semi-remote on the Big Island, nothing too fancy, super quiet, and laid out in a way that makes you feel right at home. Both balconies are beautiful, rain or shine, and the view of the ocean and the stars can't be beat. Comfy sofa, well-stocked eat-in kitchen, beautiful hardwood floors, two bathrooms, and snorkeling gear are all big perks. Big tub is great, even with low water pressure that makes it time-consuming to fill. Get groceries in Pahoa or HIlo before you drive in, or plan to stop by one of the local farmers markets for produce and eggs. You won't be particularly close to any convenience stores, but that's what makes this location so nice.

Extend some aloha spirit when you bump into the locals who live near this cluster of vacation rentals and tend to congregate on the shore just up the road. Locals are generally friendly if you are, and manager Kevin lives nearby and is on call if you ever have trouble or just need some friendly tips. Mahalo!
