The place is a nice tropical experience with an amazing view (through an insect screen) of the sunset on Big Island's West coast. There's bananas, kona coffee, wild cats, chickens, geckos and various smaller critters around the house.
We met Earl, who was a very caring host and fun talking to. The flat came pre-eqipped with plenty of drink cans and bottles and some food, a bottle of wine and coffee. Good snorkeling gear was available so could spend our time on actually exploring the area and not on shopping.
A note to fellow city folk like us is that the level and proximity to the tropical forest takes a little getting used to: The nights are rather loud due to some bird species i think. But there are actually so many birds that it blends to some kind of naturesque "road noise" so it didn't keep me from sleeping. Also expect to see some harmless critters every now and then in the house.
