Catherine’s house was amazing from the moment you pull up. Tucked away in a more remote part of the island, it’s a bit of a drive to most things but what a beautiful drive it is and the views and privacy you get in exchange are amazing!
Nearby we did a tour of the coffee farm, black sand beach, Punalu’u Bake Shop, and took advantage of the closer entrance to the volcano park. There is a market, L&L BBQ, and Kai Loki for food within 20 mins. We also drove to Kona for tours and the main entrance for volcano park.
The peace, quiet, and views were a welcome beginning and end to every day. The house itself was comfortable, clean, and inviting. I loved the outdoor shower! I am already looking at trips for next year to return to the island and Catherine’s place.
