This place is magical. I doubt that there's any other place like it on the island. It's an open air hut with carved Balinese wood wall panels. Surfboards and tiki torches decorate the indoor/outdoor space. Two of the best parts are the outdoor shower (very private) and outdoor kitchen (gas stove!), which was a great place to cook. It's also less than a five minute walk to the Kealakekua Bay -- a great snorkeling/sun bathing/swimming spot. We heard the waves crashing as we went to sleep, which was lovely. Across the bay is the Captain Cook Monument, which is reputed to be the best snorkeling at the island. Two things to note that may be deal-breakers for some: The bed is full-sized and not that comfortable. Also, this is not a good place for people afraid of insects/arachnids or geckos. Remember, it's an open-air space, so outdoor creatures occasionally made their way inside. That said, if these don't bother you too much, this is probably the most enchanting place I've ever stayed. I really, really want to go back next year.
