What made our stay memorable was getting a sense of the real Hawaii, the locals and what it is like to live on the big Island. This was present in Ed's hospitality, the tour George gave us of their farm, and the many local recommendations they both provided. Even their rental fee reflects their island philosophy. It is also an ideal location if you like snorkeling, coffee or the lush countryside. The place was a bit older, but met all of our needs and provided beautiful sunsets and views. And plenty of avocados and wildlife as well. We enjoyed the visits from the gecko we affectionately named Todd, the nightly frog songs, and the chameleon sunbathing on our dashboard.
