I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone going to Big Island. Susan and Larry are so wonderful and gave us the best recommendations throughout the trip! The space is private, super clean, stocked with EVERYTHING you need (fins, sunscreen, refrigerated aloe, beach towels, wash, dryer, boogie boards, snorkels, etc). We loved the view from the outside lanai and they even had a cute dining table set up outside if you want to enjoy the lush tropical garden with ocean view! They even welcomed us with a welcome basket which was SOOOO kind and considerate! We used all items in the welcome basket, super useful!
This is the perfect location for all activities especially snorkeling and enjoying the beach (our fav activity in Hawaii). We enjoyed this proximity to Two Step from here: we were able to be the first ones at this spot since it was SO close. The best food places are within 5-10 minutes of this place (Coffee Shack and Kona Grill house for example).
Sidenote: we also loved being able to interact with their dogs as we missed our own so very much. You can interact as much or as little with them as you want but it's nice to know there were dogs upstairs. The place is quiet and peaceful!!! If I come over to Big Island again, the only change I would make is to book Susan and Larry's place for the FULL stay as opposed to splitting between west side and east side. Thank you Susan and Larry for everything, we cannot wait to visit again!
