Heidi is a friendly, cheerful host. She was available to give us tourist tips and answered questions promptly prior to our arrival. Our space, indoor and out, was private. The indoors was decorated simply with some beautiful local art giving it a special island feel. Our outdoor space had beautiful flowering trees to provide some shade while resting in the afternnons. We love this rural area of Hawaii, the apartment is close enough to walk to the local beach, 5 minutes. Grocery stores etc. are about a 10 minute drive and other types of beaches within 20 minutes. The BEST snorkeling in the islands is 4 miles to Second Step or a 30 minute kayak across the bay to Captain Cook, the kayak rentals are available at the beach, also within easy walking. If you are hoping to see dolphins this is a great location!
