We had a very nice time staying in William's home. He is a well travelled man with interesting stories and opinions.
The area is lovely, the house is beautiful and his breakfasts are very prompt (at 8) and generous. William sits to chat with guests while everyone eats breakfast and willingly offers recommendations for your time on Big Island - he is extremely knowledgeable. If you like to eat breakfast alone or don't function well in morning company, it might not be place for you (though he might make allowances if you ask him!).
It rains every day on that side of the island, often all morning until 10 or 12 noon, at this time of year. (Just a heads-up for those who can't believe how different it could be to the Kona side where it almost never rains.) This is a lovely house to enjoy the rain in! Either on the terrace or in your room the sound is amazing, just like the coqui frogs at night :)
Thanks for hosting us, William!
