Krisann, Sam, and Arden were the perfect hosts! Their property is beautiful - tucked away in North Kohala but still very close to the small towns of Kapaau and Hawi. We loved it there! The hosts bring you the true aloha spirit, Krisann was born on the Big Island and grew up on the plantation and Sam is a native Hawaiian. The unit is equipped with everything you could possibly need - dishes, blender, induction plate, refrigerator, TV, beach gear, and more. It is very clean and organized. I must mention the bed in the bedroom - it is so COMFORTABLE. I was really concerned about this before arriving because I was 25 weeks pregnant and prone to aches and pains. It’s medium firm, and brand new, and I thanked my lucky stars for it every night. One thing to know, the freezer in the mini fridge doesn’t get super cold. For instance it kept frozen fruit cold and hard, but didn’t work so well for a small container of ice cream. Not a big deal, just good to know! The unit is within a 30 minute drive to great beaches, hikes, lookouts, scenic vistas, ATV excursions, zip lining, and more. There are a few horses on the property across the road and it was sweet to greet them in the morning. We really enjoyed the Kohala Coffee Mill in Hawi (3 min drive) for tea, smoothies, and sandwiches when we didn’t feel like preparing our own. For an authentic Big Island experience, don’t hesitate, book with Krisann and Sam!
