Sue was a great host. Communication before and during the trip was exceptional. Sue provided many useful tips and was super flexiable and helpful with our family vacation. The house is spacious and has everything you need to live like a local and to feel right at home. There are snorkeling equipment and boogie boards as well as beach towels which were so handy since we didn't need to drag all these items with us in our luggage. There is also wash and dryer which is a bonus to have especially for longer stays. If you are up for walking around the garden and exploring, there are many fresh fruits you can pick. The location of the house is great for exploring the island. The best beaches are up on the north west part of the island which is only 30 minutes drive which feels like its only 5-10 minutes since the scenery is incrediable and roads are great and easy to drive on. Airport and Costco as well as Kona Downtown are all 20 minutes away. Overall great place to stay at Big Island. We strongly recommend Sue and her beautiful house.
