David and Wendy's Waiola guesthouse provided us with a unique off the grid experience - David greeted us at the turn on mile marker, and escorted us to the guesthouse. We checked in at night, and David showed us all the amenities (bed, full kitchen, patio, full bath, washer/dryer and grill).
The guesthouse is a perfect location if you are visiting the Volcanoes National Park. It is a short 30-40 min to the visitor's center, a short 20 min drive to the Green Sands beach as well as a 1hr drive back to Kona downtown. Plan ahead for food as the closest options are 10 mins away, and can be limited.
Beside the guesthouse, we are very appreciative of David's help. We had a flat tire when we left to get dinner after our check-in. David drove over, and not only helped us change to the spare tire, but also got our tire repaired by driving us to his friend's car shop. Without David's thoughtfulness and caring nature, we would have missed visiting the nearby areas (Volcanoes NP, Green Sands beach, etc.) and he truly made our trip much more memorable!
