Rick & Olivia's place is wonderful! It was as described...it was great to have a quiet homelike place to return to after exploring the island....the views from the lanai were breathtaking....the road down to the house is winding and steep in places but after the first time, it is easier.....utilize low gear and beware of cars coming in the other direction especially during the day when more vehicles are out....the house has everything you could possibly need.....I advise bringing bottled water, though, as treatment in the water reclamation system we found to be a bit much for the palette, but was fine for washing dishes and showering.....the house allows for easy driving in both directions to see both sides of the island and there is lots to do for everyone's various tastes....we would stay again in a heartbeat if we returned to the Big Island! Rick is very accessible and answers quickly!
