Both Connie and her house were an unforgettable part of our time in Hawaii. She was very accommodating to our needs, and had everything we could have needed in the house, ready & waiting for us. This was our first time living off the grid, and she was so kind to walk us through exactly how the solar panels and water pump worked. Her house was so cozy, and it was so awesome to wake up and see the Volcano national park literally in the back yard. She even had (fantastic) Kona coffee for us that we could prepare each morning. Our first trip to Hawaii will always be remembered by the cozy cottage that Connie allowed us to stay in. I'd recommend her house, and specifically her as a host, to anyone wanting to stay on the big island!
