I loved my stay here. The hosts Carl and Elma have years of experience running bed and breakfasts, and they really made me feel welcomed and at home.
Each morning they prepared a plate of fresh homemade breakfast for each guest with fresh local Kona coffee and POG (a local favorite punch of local fruit juices). There's patio seating overlooking out to the ocean, and it is such a wonderful way to start the day.
The environment was very clean and homely, and I had all the basic amenities to feel comfortable and safe.
The location is right on the edge of King Kamehameha's preserved territory, so the view is pure nature overlooking the forest and ocean below.
The environment was very vibrant, lush, and colorful with flowers and fruits on the property. Butterflies and all kinds of life and so much color.
There is also a lot of wild life there like chickens, pigs, frogs, mongoose, cute little salamanders, and I really felt connected and close to nature. The wild sights and sounds of nature just outside my room were very much a loved and welcomed change for me from the everyday domestic city sounds of airplanes and cars and people.
It's very close to 2-step and Place of Refuge, a very important and sacred space that has a rich roots of the local history and culture and heritage still alive today. I was very fortunate to stay here and meet Carl, Elma, and their local friends, and I learned and got to see so much more of real big island than I would have elsewhere. Thank you
