The short of it, if you want place to stay that is close to waterfalls, volcano, black sand beach, Mauna Loa & Kea, then THIS is your place, and read next paragraph. If you want A/C, walking distance to beach, and don't sleep well frogs or traffic noise, then this is not the place for you.
What more can I say that the other reviews have not already covered. What I can tell you about the other reviews is that they are 100% accurate.
If all AirBNB rentals were like this, the hotel industry would crumble. Pictures are accurate and every (I mean EVERY amenity) is provided by Morris. Breakfast waffles, sausage, juice, fruit...simply marvelous! It is simply a home away from home and feels you literally have bought a house in Hawaii. Morris provides excellent information on all the things to see and do or you could truly just hang out in the house all day! Grocery store is right up the street to get all of your grocery needs. And Morris ends it all with a excellent informative tour his garden and grounds. Not sure if or when we will ever travel back to Big Island again; but if I do, this is first place on my list to stay.
