This is a lovely home. The two bedroom and two bathroom house was a perfect fit for our family of four, including a 5 and 6 year old. Having a full kitchen to cook in, and a lanai with beautiful views of the ocean, allowed us to enjoy breakfast and dinner outside. Joy has a full fridge with freezer and provides access to a cooler to take lunch with you out on your adventures.
If staying for longer than a few days, it's best to stock up on groceries in Kona (Costco) as Ocean View has two decent grocery stores and no grocery stores in Naalehu. There are 2 wonderful farmers markets in Naalehu (Wednesday & Saturday) and lots of little farm stands. Fresh produce was not a problem.
Joy provided beach towels, boogie boards, snorkel gear for beach adventures.
House is solar powered (we had no issues with electronics, laundry, etc) and has county water. We mostly lived unplugged, but our LTE data on our phones (Verizon) was plenty.
This is rural Hawaii at it's best. Expect to see ants & geckos and hear coqui frogs & wild roosters. I'm a light sleeper and used ear plugs and it was just fine. Rest of the family hardly noticed.
Best of all, the hosts are wonderful! Responsive, helpful and keep the home well stocked with all your basic needs. Highly recommend this home, our family intends to return!
