Staying in this home was a highlight of our trip to the big island. The listing is as accurate as it is detailed, the home was immaculately clean, and Sara was an excellent host. What sets this place apart is its proximity to a gorgeous part of the coastline in combination with its quaint residential charm, set apart from the tourist scene. Directly across the street is access to the ocean, and while it's too rocky for swimming, it's a stunning place to enjoy early morning or evening walks, explore tide pools, and watch sea turtles. A few minutes drive and you can enjoy beautiful sandy beaches. Our favorite spot was beach 69 - easy access, with sculptural trees scattered along the beach - a perfect location for swimming, hiking, sun, and shade. We even brought the paddle board with us one of the days! The general store is right down the street - a sweet little spot for general provisions, craft beers, and local treats.
