This gem certainly lived up to its name. It exceeded our expectations! The perfect location for a small family/two couples to immerse themselves in a memorable Big Island experience. The bay offers immediate access to snorkeling, surfing, paddle boarding if you choose- a convenient opportunity to be up close and personal with marine life 24/7. Avian enthusiasts will be pleasantly surprised as well - bring binoculars ! LPOH’s decor offers beautiful unexpected architectural details that create a sense of luxury using natural elements that elevate your stay. It is outfitted with all the comforts of home. The location is safe and secure. Restaurants, shopping, and many activities are a short (5-15 min) drive either direction on Ali’i Drive. We had almost instant responses to our questions during our stay. Ali is a stellar host - he made us feel very welcome, offered activity/restaurant suggestions - we followed thru on every one and weren’t disappointed! I can’t figure out how to convey to future guests Ali’s generous hospitality - perhaps the best way is to share something he said to us a couple of times.... “this is YOUR home this week- enjoy it”. We are not strangers to renting homes- but this was the first time any host made us feel so welcome. It was very hard to step away from this experience - I feel certain we will be back.
