We had a wonderful stay at Mike and Bo’s house in Keeau. The house is large and the view is as beautiful as it looks in the listing — gorgeous ocean, skyscapes, and pods of dolphins practicing their flips. The lava cliffs are beautiful to walk along (but be careful of your footing, not for those impaired in mobility or for running kids) and fascinating to imagine the raw lava flow that created this part of Keeau. Mike was incredibly hospitable and responsive. As soon as we booked, he sent helpful info on Hawaii’s travel protocols and ensured our negative tests were in place before checking in. He allowed us to check in a bit early and called personally to see if we needed anything and to give us tons of amazing tips on local sites and restaurants. Plus there’s a website AND binder with a collection of local sightseeing, eats and shopping. Did we mention that the house is the best equipped we’ve been to? All the cooking utensils, spices, beach equipment, fishing rods, binoculars, books on nature and Hawaii’s history, plenty of towels and blankets. We ended up eating out (great restaurants in Hilo are just 20-30 mns away or the Ma’ono Lunch counter just 10-12 mns away) but would’ve been equipped to make a feast if we’d chosen. Our only regrets are not seeing the turtles or whales while we were there (not the season) and not staying longer — all which we hope to rectify at our next stay with Mike & Bo.
