As I sit here in the Honolulu Airport reflecting on our trip, I am 100% confident to say that our stay with Iris and Robert was the best part of our trip. In fact, I should rate the accuracy of her listing low, because it is SO much better than described. We loved staying on the Big Island because it is much more low key, and Iris's neighborhood is exactly that. It really is only a 10 minute drive to the lava flow, which was absolutely incredible. The room really is a whole house that is beautifully, beautifully decorated. There are even hand painted waves on the walls. The kitchen is well enough supplied to cook your own meals if desired. They have ice cube trays, which is super handy for water bottles. They also provide drinking water that was the best tasting we had on the whole island. They have an awesome map where you can mark where you're from- a nice touch. It is fun to read the guestbook and see all the nice things people have to say about their stay. Looks like our stay wasn't a fluke! The bed is a king size (very important for us) and super comfortable. The local frogs serenaded us to sleep - we slept fantastic! Their whole family met us and helped with our luggage. They have a backpack ready with all the supplies you might need for any hikes. There are plenty of fun geckos to enjoy. Iris is an awesome gardener, and can clue you in to a TON of local fauna. In short, it can't get any better. You won't regret staying here, and I'm willing to bet you'll come to the same conclusion I have as you reflect on your trip!
