My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights during our honeymoon, and had a great experience. The rental house is situated on a large piece of secluded property about a 10 minute drive up the mountain from the beach. There are a couple other rentals on the site, but the one we stayed in was separated from the others in a way that offered a lot of privacy. The living space was exceptionally clean, very spacious and nicely decorated. It had plenty of towels, beach gear and a basic but well thought out kitchen (had a toaster oven, not a full size one). There is small gas grill on the back porch that we used several times. Several ceiling fans and lots of windows offered great ventilation and it never got too warm inside. The place is fairly large for a one bedroom.
We had a very enjoyable and peaceful stay here. The rental house was very nice, and we would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a rental on the Big Island. The location is a perfect starting point for any location on the north side of the island. I could tell by the way everything was set up for us on our arrival that the hosts had carefully considered how to make their guests feel welcome and accommodated. One nice thing in particular was that the house was absolutely spotless, and it had basic cooking items such as oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and some sauces. There are beautiful plants growing in front of the house, and there are two papaya trees off the back porch that I picked a fresh papaya from, which was cool. I only have positive things to say about this rental. Thanks Matt and Rose!
