Richard's place was awesome and just what we were looking for. The flowers, fruit tress and chickens kept our five month old little boy constantly entertained. The cottage is close enough to the small town of Hawi to easily walk. We did some close by hikes that were wonderful and it's was only about twenty minutes drive if you need a white sand beach fix. Really enjoyed getting a look at the small farm lifestyle while enjoying an area of the Big Island that is nothing less than paradise. Many Thanks Richard
