Several minutes drive from the highway, up Mauna Loa, you'll find breathtaking views of the ocean beyond the fairly fresh lava flows. When you arrive at David's place, you'll find lush plant life- a sanctuary for fruit trees and delicious dragon fruit plants. Check in is easy, just a key in a lock box so you can check in any time after your adventures for the day. You should plan to bring some groceries with you as this is a lovely place to cook. There are pots and pans, oil, butter, fresh eggs, salt/pepper/salt-based spice mixes (bring other spices with you if you would like them). And of course dragon fruit when in season!
David is very responsive as he lives on the property. When we needed something he was over in less than a minute of sending a message! We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone staying on the big island. Perfect location if you want to make a day trip to either of the national parks on each side as well as to south point and the green sand beach. We also highly recommend their food truck "Thai Grindz" located on the main highway open on Fridays and weekends. Thank you David and Nat for being such wonderful hosts! :)
