Our stay with Linda and Earl was fantastic. The place is super cute and had everything we needed, from a really comfy and cool platform bed, to a beachy tiled shower. The location is up the hill from some awesome snorkeling/chilling/hiking beaches, and there are some tasty restaurants within a 10-15 minute drive. Kona is ~30min away and is an easy cruise. For relaxed adventure travelers like ourselves, the place was perfect, you'll hear some frogs, and maybe some cows and barking dogs because its near a bunch of farms, but you'll have a wonderful sunset view from your bed. Where the trip really took off though was just in meeting Earl and Linda. They live upstairs but had the perfect balance of saying hi and making sure things were ok as we left or came in but giving us peace and privacy otherwise. They had so many snacks and drinks waiting for us, plenty of kona coffee, and would leave us treats on our steps: bananas and the biggest most delicious avocados I've ever seen. Earl was a serious surfer and had some great stories about his younger days in Oahu, and some essential beach/wave beta for me. The snorkeling gear and beach chairs they lent us were all awesome, and overall the trip was just a relaxing success. Mahalo.
