If you're looking for tranquility, beatiful views, bright and airy interior and an excellent host. Look no further, simply book this property! Rachna's bungalow is located in a quiet neighborhood. As you head up the steep hill (no worries, you can make it without a AWD), and drive down the grass driveway among the various fruit trees, you immediately feel a sense of peace. Sitting on the lanai, overlooking the ocean, hearing the sounds of nature, we had a hard time leaving to do outings as you simply want to sit back, relax and enjoy. Having said that, the location is great, about 20 minutes south of Captain Cook with good options of visiting coffee farms (Grenwell is a good one!) and also a local honey farm (Big Island Bees). On top of that the farmers market is great! There are of course also beaches (Ho‘okena Beach Park being a favorite, 15 minute drive) which really offers a different experience from the far more crowded beaches up north in Waikoloa, much more low key and with a local vibe. Last but not least, if you're planning on going to the national volcano park, it's a leisurely 1 1/2 hours away (make sure to stop Punalu'u Bake Shop, the southernmost bakery in the US). I could go on, however as earlier guests have provided great details, I think you know what to do...simply book it!
