A quiet home with beautiful views. An ideal place to get away from the crowds and immerse in serenity. About an 1 hour 20 minutes drive from the airport. Perfect base for exploring the Southeast part of the Big Island. Nearby are the unique Green Sand Beach, Black Sand Beach, and the volcano national park. The entire South point road is scenic and pastoral. The bake shop in punalu'u is also a famous spot. Visit the Bee Boys and the tiny store by Will and Grace.
Catherine gave me great suggestions for touring and I made it to Fissure 8 in Puna, a must-see. Look for Stacy Welch in Leilani and she will take you up there from her backyard. Ocean View itself is small with one pricy grocery market. It's also cooler than Kona. Everything closes at 5pm but that is the charm of it. This is my 5th trip to the Big Island and an unique one. Can't wait to go back next year. Mahalo!
