Connie's retreat is a secluded and peaceful slice of heaven. If you are coming to the Big Island to enjoy peace and serenity, then this is where you should stay. We were close enough to any amenities that we needed, while being off the "touristy" path. We seriously felt like we were in our own world, and what better vacation is that? The stars alone put on a show every night that astonished! Connie has everything you need, while being available for questions and help if you need it. Wish we could have stayed forever, and that is high praise indeed...
