Jess is a wonderful host full of great tips and can help you with anything you might need (or have forgotten!). While Hawi is a little off the beaten path there are beautiful vistas all around and the best little coffee shop in Hawi. The house is outfitted with all of the basics and has one hot burner if you want to cook. Great shower pressure and a comfy bed. But the beach gear & supplies are fantastic!! Would definitely recommend for anyone seeking a relaxing vacation!
