Meiko is an excellent, diligent host. We loved our stay at their place - it is just as beautiful as in the pictures, and the view is even better. The black pebble beach that sits at the base of the hillside is a lot more enticing than it may at first seem: its a beach with clear, blue, warm water, but without the hassle of sand to clean up afterward.
The kitchen has all the utensils you'll probably need if you want to do some of your own cooking, but there's also plenty of local spots you should hit up: Menehune, Shred Town Tacos (try their chipotle sauce!), and on your way in, Da Poke Shack to name a few.
Its a decent driving distance from Papakolea Beach (a green sand beach), which is a beautiful - but rocky - walk along the coastal trails to pristine - and naturally green - shores. Go early enough in the morning, and you might have it to yourself. Definitely plan to go for a swim there.
