You can sort of tell the people that have been hosts for a while by how they set things up for guests. This place has everything one needs, in a very comfortable space- we had a great stay here.
Located about 1/2 way between Kailua-Kona and Hilo, you do need a car for access. There’s not a ton of stuff to do in the area, but it’s nice and quiet, well off the main road. It’s a short drive to the Hana Hou restaurant that has good food and killer desserts, especially the banana cream pie!
Cathy, the host, is very congenial and welcoming. She is a pro in the world of B and B hosts.
