I came here with my boyfriend to celebrate my college graduation and I'm so happy that I chose this property on the big island! I was looking for a place that was secluded away from all of the tourists and that brought us both peace, which I found here in this amazing oceanfront home. From the moment you drive up to the house, you can hear the ocean waves and the birds chirping. The way the house was built with an indoor area and then having it lead seamlessly outdoors to the balcony was perfect! It kept all the bugs out but let you feel the much-needed breeze when you walked out the doors to go upstairs. The kitchen was exceptional to cook in, with every appliance at your hands should you need it. The TVs were high quality, although we didn't spend much time using them since we were out exploring most of the time. I especially enjoyed eating on the balcony table, you get great views with your meals and sometimes the geckos will appear there. I would recommend you wake up at sunrise every day just to see the view and enjoy the ocean breeze. The only thing you need to be prepared for is the driving if you are planning on traveling to other parts of the island, as the roads here are very different and can be confusing at times. It's around a 30-minute drive to Hilo for most restaurants, although we found a great spot nearby called Kaleo's Bar and Grill (with no tourists) which had great live music and food! This was probably our favorite dinner on the island. I highly recommend any future visitors to buy a day pass at Kulaniapia Falls in advance, it's only a 30-minute drive away and you get to swim/kayak/paddleboard at a 120 ft private waterfall. This was an AMAZING experience as we had the waterfall to ourselves for hours and it is the only waterfall you are legally allowed to swim in on the big island. We loved arriving back at this home after enjoying these other experiences, it was so peaceful and welcoming. Thank you Jessica!
