I contemplated not leaving a review only to selfishly keep Dawn’s place more of a secret for us. Here we go…Dawn’s place is gorgeous, clean and comfortable. We stayed for seven nights and traveled the entire island with no problem. We were always happy to make the BEAUTIFUL drive back to the rental in the evening. We arrived late at night. Dawn forewarned us it may be hard to locate in the dark, so she shared pictures to explain. We had coffee from Hawi each morning & ate fruit on the rental’s porch before exploring the island. Dawn’s place is in great proximity to the Pololu Trail, Waimea, and the best beaches on the island (about 45 minutes away). Being it was our first time on the Big Island, we had no clue where to stay. We contemplated Hilo and/or Kona, but SO glad we opted into this area. It’s such a quiet, calm area. We already miss going to sleep to the sounds of nature. OH! and Dawn left us fresh fruit and the most delicious banana nut muffins! Best trip ever.
