There is a reason Hap and Mely are SuperHosts. These folks are awesome and will make you feel welcome on the Big Island. I wish we had scheduled more time on this side of the island so we could have enjoyed their hospitality more.
The house was awesome, with fresh flowers in the vase when we arrived and fresh fruit from the local trees that we used for breakfast. There are many books to read and learn about the island history, landmarks, hikes, beaches, etc. Some of the furniture is obviously Hap's creations (he has been featured in Fine Woodworking twice) that were beautiful along with the antique furniture that adorned the house.
