Heidi is a responsive host who went out of her way to give us an awesome experience here at her oasis in Captain Cook.
If you are looking for a place away from the crowds, this is the place to stay and take all that beauty in. This place is close to the water and snorkeling, local honey farm, walking to a local beach park with family donated fruits and easy access to side walk fruit stands with delicious banana, avocado, even banana breads.
The place is a simple, clean Hawaiian home that makes it very welcome to a family of four. Our older 5 years old loved chasing after the geckos and catching bugs in the yard. Our younger 3 years old enjoyed her papaya out on the porch and the many many days of hanging out at Step Two, a close by white sandy beach for the kiddos. My husband and I had Kona coffee freshly made every morning waking up to a quiet relaxing environment to vacation.
Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a place on the big island to stay. We were there for 10 days traveling from Kona to Hilo and then to Captain Cook. This was definitely our favorite place. We don’t like to do what everyone else already done. We just want to be part of the local scene and see how people live amongst the nature. And that’s exactly what we got.
