We had a wonderful stay at Dara's place and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Big Island looking to escape the hustle and bustle. The property is so comfortable, clean, quiet and peaceful. Beds are SO COMFY! The gardens are beautiful and the host was gracious in sharing his bounty. Our family fully enjoyed sampling fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs new to us. We made some delicious stir fries and discovered some new favorite fruits! Kids (7 & 11) felt right at home here and enjoyed exploring and hunting lizards each day. Host was readily available and seemed happy to answer any questions we had and to offer suggestions of places to visit and explore on the island - including our favorite - Shipman's Beach. Our family fully enjoyed our time here! We hope to return someday and look forward to seeing how that wonderful garden grows!
