Karla and Jason were very helpful, super communicative before, during and even after my stay and were always available. Even though it was a bit challenging for a long stay initially (workation), they helped all along to make things comfortable in so many ways. Their sound machine was very useful in blocking out highway noises for light sleepers like me and also closing the windows and some ear plugs would help. It's not very hot in the night.
The location is very lovely, safe and bucolic with incredible bio-diversity! I loved going for walks around the neighborhood on both sides of the highway.
Unfortunately car is a necessity here and in big island in general if you plan on any sightseeing. The buses are very few and far between and not reliable, but I was able to manage with help from Jason and Karla for the basics as I was done with sightseeing earlier.

This is not related to their place...
but in general, I wish Hawaii Govt. was more environmentally friendly and sustainable with better accessible to public transport to and also RECYCLE!! It is appalling the Govt. doesn't have any recycling facilities and pretty much everything goes to landfill! I hope the county does something about the lead paint peel off issues from bridges in the beautiful beaches nearby!
I hope tourists also respect the beauty of these places and treat it with 'Malama'/Care without littering or harassing turtles, dolphins and other critters! It was appalling to see tourists not following rules all along my long stay here. Wear reef safe sunscreen and not step on coral reefs.
