This is a fantastic place if you are looking for a non-resort experience. Linda and Marty have planted an oasis of garden and trees on a North Kohala hillside amidst the former sugar cane fields with outstanding views of the ocean. The tradewinds blow and light rains come through, but the rainbows are astonishing and the winds keep what could be a hot hillside blissfully cool. The shady garden of flowers hosts numerous bids of many colors and songs, and you'll find it hard to leave the large screen porch and your comfy chair view of the sea (and the occasional whale) to go see the rest of Hawaii. Very clean and very comfortable, and remote enough that you feel like you are enjoying this special world all by yourself. Great hiking/running along the coastal trail to nearby historic sites, a short drive to the small town of Hawi with its many galleries, local artists, Bamboo Restaurant (not to be missed) etc, please gorgeous hike down to the black sand beach on the Polulu trail, amazing stars at night and quiet, quiet, quiet. Just 20 minutes drive to the South are the amazing stretches of white sand on Hapuna Beach and just south of that in the same park the treelined and shady Waialea Beach with excellent snorkeling. Best Hawaii accommodations ever. Can't wait to come back.
