Highly recommend Dena's place, we spent a week here and enjoyed every minute.
When we were "at home" we spent most of the time on the lanai; it is airy and elevated with pleasant nearby scenery of macadamia and fruit trees with the ocean and sunset in the background.
Kitchen is well-equipped and you can supplement your groceries with fruit from the yard!
We enjoyed the hens and rooster, one hen is so curious and friendly, we were able to pick her up. At 5:40pm each evening the rooster flies up in to a tree near the house and crows to welcome the dusk. That was really endearing - he also does the same at 4:40am, which is not as cute, but impressively punctual!
I really like the messages around the place, particularly helpful is the one about where to refill potable water.
A great location for exploring Ka'u and the south from Captain Cook to Volcano.
Honomolino Bay is a short, easy hike from the bottom of the road in Miloli'i.
We do NOT recommend driving the Road to the Sea.
Dena is great to work with: really speedy communication and great suggestions.
