The studio is perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood, within a few minutes drive of one of the best snorkeling beaches on Hawaii (Two Steps). Local-style restaurants, coffee shops and various lunch places are also within easy driving distance in Captain Cook and Kealakekua. The sunset views from the studio are truly stunning, and we loved the chorus of Coqui frogs at night. The place is clean, well-maintained, and generously stocked with treats. Although we didn't get to meet Linda, Earl was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. There are lots of books and other resources to help you plan hikes and other activities, and Earl was happy to offer suggestions. We would definitely stay here again.
