This place is the perfect match for the traveler(s) looking to connect in a more meaningful way to the heart of the Big Island. It's not a resort and that's why we loved it. David, the cats, ducks, plants, and sounds and stars at night make for a truly unforgettable experience. It’s a cozy, safe place to return after you day trip or a great place to spend the day reading. While there is no cell service at this time, there is reliable internet. Plus, why not unplug while you are on vacation? David is a great and kind host – he gave us fresh fruit and lots of information about the area and its history. It’s also a short walk from the house to a wonderful black sand beach. We hope to return soon.
