Tetyana is a lively and welcoming hostess. The pool that the apartment overlooks is crystal clear and swimmable! A wild Hawaii natural pool. WOW. The tide pools a sweet stroll away are fascinating, bring your footwear for swimming or floating. We had clouds and light rains and prepared for that so nothing thwarted our land adventures; though the cool temps did not entice us into the sea. Still, wandering the tide pools was lovely. Volcano park is awesome, the crater drive totally worth it and the walk to the petroglyphs is unique. Do your research before you go - there is a lot to choose from. We spent three days here, three north in Hawi, and three in Kona. This southern spot was my favorite. Lush! Diverse! But I'd still recommend staying on both sides of the Island so you can see it all, and not drive toooo far. It's truly a BIG Island. Have fun!
