Don’t let the pictures fool you! The studio is below Earl and Linda’s home and was the perfect hub for us to explore the island. It has a full kitchen that was super well stocked as well as fresh fruit that was amazing. The sleeping and living area is screened lanai that overlooks a small coffee farm with banana and papaya trees. We went to sleep and woke with the sound of birds and frogs. It sits about 700 ft above sea level and has amazing sunset views of the ocean in the evening. Earl and Linda were gracious, welcoming and super hospitable. We went 4x4 driving and woke the next morning to find that Earl had cleaned our jeep off. There is an amazing snorkel (two step) beach 2 miles down the road and close to local restaurants and grocery stores. We will definitely stay with Earl and Linda on our next trip to the Big Island!
