Our visit to the big island will be truly memorable. Elizabeth and Mike are kind and thoughtful hosts who really put much effort into making their place a home away from home. Whether it be muffins ready for the morning after that late night arrival or a well stocked bathroom when your luggage decides it would rather arrive the next afternoon. Initially I didn't know how I'd like the outdoor kitchen but found it to be a fun novelty, nothing like cooking over a hot stove with a nice breeze. They had a great guide book that we used quite a bit as well. The place itself is well kept with a cozy feel. During our stay it was very quite in the evening, if you need white noise like us there was a fan too. Our many thanks for hosting us.
