We visited the Big Island for our honeymoon and could not have picked a better place to stay. Words and pictures can't illustrate how incredible the house and location are. Karen was out of town, so we did not get to meet her, but Ron was one of the friendliest people I've ever met. He gave us excellent recommendations on places to visit and where to eat, and he even brought us the occasional snack and a bottle of champagne the first night. The included coolers, snorkels, and chairs were very useful for visiting the nearby beaches. We also enjoyed the company of Purry the Cat. This was a concern as we are both allergic, but Purry just comes and visits at the front porch occasionally, and does not live in the house. The fact that Kealakelua Bay is right across the street couldn't have been more convenient, as it's one of the top snorkeling spots on the island. Overall our stay was excellent and there's nowhere else you'll be able to get such a unique and comforting experience. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Ron and Karen for sharing your cottage with us!
