Sandy and Fred were so friendly and warm to us. Their little cottage is great for the days you want to visit the erupting volcano (which you absolutely should!). It's a little far from Kona if you want the snorkling, bustling town vibe, but for a couple of days to check out this section of the island it was ideal. The star watching was amazing since there is nothing out there and we laid on the comfy lawn furniture with a bottle of champagne they thoughtfully gave us for our honeymoon and looked at constellations for a lovely night. The tiny kitchen is very well thought out and we appreciated the cold juice and fruit waiting for us when we arrived. Plus a propane BBQ was all set up and ready to go. They live on the property, but the cottage faces the sea with no one in front of you. A great place for quiet rest.
