This place is wonderful. We stayed for 4 nights of our 8 days on the big island. The kitchen is beautiful - there is a ton of light. Chiya provides detailed instructions for everything, so there are very few questions you need to ask. Her place is also extremely clean. There are windows everywhere, and if you like fresh air blowing in from all directions, it's ideal. It does rain on and off in late May early June, just make sure to close the windows at those times. We were mostly gone during the day for activities, but the one day we stayed in to rest, it was quiet and peaceful! It's quiet at night as well. You can see the ocean from the kitchen and one of the bedrooms. There are also the cute little gold dust day geckos who sit around and eat mosquitoes. We would highly recommend this place for travelers who want peace and quiet, and a nice and very clean place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay here. Chiya is a great host.
