Stephen's place is an absolutely gem. perfect getaway from city life yet close enough to the amenities of one. The place was spotless! Service was kinda spotty in places as it's in true hawaiin country but should be fine if you have Verizon. That being said however, it did not affect our trip at all as the wifi at the Volcano house was great! Stephen was a great resource for points of interests on the big island that you won't find on any internet websites. We used Stephen's house as a home base to explore the north, east, and south side of the island. Just do yourself a favor and book more days here so you don't feel rushed to experience the beauty of Hawaii that most tourists don't see. Another thing to note, make sure to go up to the top deck above the rainforest canopy on a clear night to see the stars! It truly is breathtaking as the big island of Hawaii is one of the best places to see stars in the world!
