Probably the best equipped Air BnB I ever stayed at. Besides all the kitchenware you could ever want, there are all the staples, plus snorkel gear, beach chairs, picnic coolers, you name it. Even the lanai has it’s own coffee maker and TV setup.
There is great snorkeling about 7-8minutes walk. If the water’s rough, it might be a little intimidating, but if not, it’s as good as it gets. You might meet a couple of neighbors there, too. Bonus. Then you can go for a 6 minute drive and a short walk to the beautiful black sand beach. There were only 6 people on it when I went. Beautiful view of the ocean from your front door.
Other than these two attractions you’ll have to drive at least 20-25 minutes for anything else. About 10 minutes up a narrow winding road and another 15 on the main road. There’s a great coffee café and a nice little Thai take out in Ocean view, about 25 minutes drive. Plan a couple of easy day trips to places like Kona, Volcano National Park, and Two Step.
Teresa and Steve couldn’t be better hosts. It’s like Teresa spends the day waiting by her computer to field questions. The response is that fast.
