Linda's place is most charming. The private studio has everything we needed for the stay, well stocked with tea, coffee and anything we need to make a quick dinner. Its very clean and we had our privacy. Upon arrival, Linda provided us with a plateful of fresh fruit such as papayas and oranges. She also had fresh cut flowers to adorn the studio! Linda is so charming and gracious, she surprised us with a bag of cookie from the famous bakery shop in the area, Punalu'u as a farewell gift, which was a great snack for us on the flight back to NYC. The house is near the green sand beach, the black sand beach and less than an hour drive to the Volcano. There is also farmer's market 10 minutes away (Wed & Sat) where you can buy fresh papayas for 50 cents each a pop! And many other fruits! The small mango I bought was the sweetest mango I've ever had! I was in heaven feasting on fresh papayas, going to the different beaches snorkeling and swimming, and taking in the amazing sights of the volcano, and Linda's cozy private studio and her kindness definitely added a lot of charm to my Hawaii vacation!!
