The setup of Peter and Cathy’s place was perfect for us: my husband and I were in one private room with en-suite bathroom, my mother was in the other private room with her own en-suite bathroom, and the room in between had the kitchenette and common seating area. We spent much of our time out on the lanai, enjoying the garden and the view, as well as the occasional dip in the pool. Our hosts, though close by, ensured that we had privacy, but were also available to chat about the island and share their knowledge. It was a great place to start our Big Island vacation.
