Christine's Ohana is the perfect home base for exploring the beautiful and rugged Big Island. We had so much privacy and just melted into relaxation that we did not want to leave the property from our first day to the last. But do explore the Big Island, it is "the Island". And Kiko was one of our favorite visitors every day, we did bribe him on our last night as he hung out on our Lanai with some friends and maybe some local grilled beef. And if you are lucky, you can see Haleakala when the clouds break on Maui from the back yard. One of the most special AirBnb rentals/experiences we have had. If its available and you are looking for a place on the north side of the Island, just book it. You will not regret.
