if you love to snorkel, this is the place to stay! it's just a short walk to kealakekua bay where the water is warm and the snorkeling fantastic. the house is very lovely and even nicer than the pictures show. heidi was so helpful - even though we were likely a bit annoying guests, always asking a lot of questions and needing help with things, heidi was always very helpful and patient! she told us all the best beaches and snorkeling spots to visit.
it was extremely hot when we visited and unfortunately the fans in the house couldn't cool us enough, but i think it was unusually hot. also the neighbors dog is very yappy and woke me every morning. i would definitely stay again should i visit the big island.
