We had a terrific time staying here! We loved watching the birds, plants, geckos, stars, milky way, and waves. House was quiet, clean, and comfortable. There's lots to do within a short drive and the owners have a lot of great suggestions. Hakalau Beach Park is a short walk away(you do have to go up and down a slightly steep trail). Also close to Akaka falls and the fantastic Hawai'i tropical bioreserve and garden.
Yes, the Island of Hawaii has bugs, but here they are very manageable, and not the kind that bite(and for some of us bug bites can be a problem). The owners have left some specific practical tips for how to make the bugs even easier to manage.
