We are just back from a wonderful 10 day stay at Meiko's excellent accommodation on the Big Island south of Kona and Captain Cook.
Meiko has a great house in a great location. In my opinion it is very hard, ( as in impossible ), to find a nice house like this, reasonably priced, that also has a 180 degree full, unobstructed view of the ocean; ( even a westerly view, so guests can witness the sunset and the pink/red colors reflected on clouds- excellent, and what a way to end a day ).
The house is suitable for 4 plus guests. The beds are very comfortable, and I think the couch in the living room is a sofa bed. All of the house is very clean. I have read other reviews where guests have commented on all the rules, but, to us, they are all common sense, and things we do in our homes.
Two of our party really like to cook, so we ate all our meals there except for two lunches. The kitchen plus the outside grill have all you need to prepare whatever kind of meal you want. Getting groceries requires some advance planning as the stores are a drive away, but you will be going by them on your daily excursions anyway.
There is a beach at the bottom of Meiko's road, but we found ourselves using alternate beaches that were a bit more sheltered; it is winter, and the surf is usually up in Hawaii!
All in all a great holiday in a wonderful place. Thanks Meiko.
