I wish I could give Barbara a 10 star rating. Barbara’s home is so incredibly beautiful! The room had everything we needed to feel at home. We were able to cook, relax, enjoy nature, and feel at home. The location is incredible with a short walk to a black sand beach that is breathtaking, the walk to the beach is one I enjoyed so much. Barbara also hosted us graciously the first night and introduced us to her friends, giving us the best welcoming ever! She provided us with the inside local scope on places to see which added so much to our experience. Her home is absolutely stunning and is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. I HIGHLY recommend you to book this place if you are visiting the Big Island it will be the highlight of your trip here.
