We had a fantastic stay at Paris and John's place. Beautiful, well-appointed and sparkling clean - close to everything Hawai'i's Big Island has to offer. Ok - maybe VNP is a bit of a hike, but everything else can be reached in less than 90 minutes. Fantastic beaches just 25 minutes away. Rainforest practically next door. Waimea itself is great and Paris and John's place is the perfect "home base" for all of it!
