Our stay at Jay's place was great. We did have a couple hurdles to get over that were no fault of our host, but Jay was very gracious in how he handled the situation. His hospitality is amazing! And if you get a chance to meet his sweet dog, I would highly recommend a cuddle. The kitchen had just about everything we could want to cook daily breakfasts and pack lunch to keep our travel costs down. There were lots of little things not mentioned like coffee and sugar, and various other things, so perhaps check with the house or with Jay before purchasing items at the store. We didn't quite get to cooking dinner due to the bigness of the Big Island and how long it takes to drive everywhere. We were blessed with SO MANY avocados from the trees and even got some papaya and delicious limes. Finding the place is quite easy, although I might recommend that you try to get there before nightfall as it is quite dark out there (there are plenty of lights at the house). The nature sounds at night were wonderful to fall asleep to. I would note that the couch/fold out bed is a little on the small side, so keep that in mind if you are a bunch of tall people. Thankfully we are not and it worked out well. There are TVs if that's your thing, but personally I prefer the sounds of the jungle. I am regretting that I didn't use the outdoor shower with a view of flowers and trees and avocados. Next time! I would easily stay at Jay's place next time I am in Hawaii.
