The home was beautiful, clean, and perfectly decorated to make you feel part of the Island. The sea-turtle them was very appropriate given that a 30 minute drive to Punalu'u beach gives you the opportunity to swim with them. It's only a 10 minute drive to beautiful hikes in Volcano National Park and you're not to far from beautiful Hilo. This was a great place to be a home base for everything on the Big Island. The rooms are spacious and even better than the pictures found online. The kitchen was well provisioned with pots, pans, utensils, and basic spices, etc. We stayed a few days in a cramped hotel room on Waikiki beach before coming here so it was fantastic to get more room. The air temperature is very pleasant at that altitude and the home is secluded with full privacy. We are already planning a return visit!
