My wife and I traveled to the Big Island at the end of May and had a fantastic time. The location was perfect considering the location of the different attractions (Kona, Captain Cook, Kohala, Volcano Natl Park, etc) and the size of the island (aka huge!). Kevin and Regina were awesome hosts; we had everything we needed (laundry access, full kitchen with utensils, large rooms, comfortable beds, and plenty of space to chill and watch the sunset and the stars at night). You might want to rent an AWD vehicle to move around the island and to access the property. There are a few stores and restaurants ~ 10-15min away by car; perhaps ~ 1 hour away from Volcano National Park and Kona. Thanks!!!
