A unique location and place to stay! We loved that it had such beautiful views of the ocean. Tastefully decorated with lovely Hawaiian themes. The accommodations of the kitchen were awesome and it was a comfortable place to stay. It was also fantastic having our own washer and dryer. The WiFi worked great so we could keep in touch with our loved ones. We were even welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and a sweet note!
Note that this home is in a rural area of Hawaii so bugs and geckos are expected! Neither were too bothersome during our stay.
It was a bit far from popular attractions, we drove at least 45 minutes or more, to popular destinations. Heed Jenn’s warning and go down to the tiny house in the daylight your first time. It’s a 3.5 mile drive down to the home through the village and is winding and narrow. You can definitely do it in a car but our rented SUV made it much easier. Once we did it in the daytime we felt more confident driving the road at night.
Neat little fruit stands on the way down to the tiny home and many stands and farms going east bound toward Hilo on Highway 11. We stopped at two and got some amazing macadamia nuts and tasted fantastic local Ka’u coffee!
The nearest town is a place called Ocean View that has a few small grocery stores and gas stations. We at at take out at “Ocean View” pizzeria and “Mehe’s Ka’u Bar and Grill” and both places had good food. L&L Hawaiian BBQ is more like fast food/take out. Definitely would recommend getting your morning iced coffee from “Coffee Grinds”.
This location is great for people who love the outdoors and camp, but would love a little bit more comfort with modern amenities.
