I very much enjoyed my stay here. It was so close to so many things... a free tour at the Greenwell coffee farm, a tour at Big Island Bees (just around the corner and highly recommended), the National Park is 1.5-2 hours drive away, snorkeling at Two Steps was a short 4 mile drive away, renting a kayak was 4 minutes walk away, after which you can paddle to the Captain Cook monument for some great snorkeling. You can also just get into the water 1/4 mile away at the state park entrance for some swimming, but go with a buddy as there can be sharks around.
I rented a car and drove all over the island and was always happy to come back after a long day to the quiet garden, a cozy bed, a kitchen where I could cook meals, give some pets to Bubba, the sweet old kitty, and watch geckos dart around and birds sing to each other in the trees. I loved this place and would definitely choose to stay again
