"Beautiful sunsets, relaxing sounds of the ocean, cool breezes,….everything we look for when we want to escape. Awesome house with all the amenities you would want ! This is our third time renting from Carl and Deborah….we look forward to our next visit (hopefully during whale watching season)!"

"Great location if you’re interested in the Captain Cook area. Simple, clean, non-resort like property. Host was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Property was perfect for my purposes."

"This house is exactly as described. Room for 8 (if 2 are thin and short or are children). The host is very communicative and helpful. The check in and check out process is very easy. There are games in the basement and the host has a whole shed of snorkels, fins, chairs, beach equipment, etc. Really great if you've come from far and obviously couldn't pack your own.Why this house might not be for you: it is rural. If you want to go to Kona it's 1 to 1 1/2 hours away. Volcanoes NPS is about 2 hours away. If you are looking for restaurants or activities, you will be doing a lot of driving. Except for a few beaches, most of them are a drive too because you're on a mountain...it's a slow, curvy ride everywhere.If you are a nervous driver or get carsick, this is not for you. The road is steeped and very curvy. My family doesn't get sick...until our last day. But it was fun to see the mongooses and wild pigs in the road. If you like long, hot showers, this is not for you. There is little water in this area...you can't drill a well into volcanic rock and there's no public water. So you are taking short showers as the host requests. Also, I don't think I ever had a HOT shower. Even if I insisted on taking a 2-minute shower before my kids, the water would get warm (I always describe it as "llama spit") but never hot. "

"This place is so incredible."

"Clean place"

"Wonderful hospitality and great clean accommodation with good amenities. We could have spent all day just sitting on the deck with the fabulous views and listening to the glorious birdsong and nature all around us. There is comfortable indoor seating and TV but we never used it as sitting on the Lanai was so lovely. Don’t worry about aircon as there was always a cool breeze and we never even put the fan on. Heather and Adam have thought of everything from beach chairs, binoculars and cool bags etc. I like to be honest and helpful so - if you love nature you will absolutely love it here but you will be awoken early with the sounds of cockerels and dogs. For us the benefits far far outweighed anything and nothing ear plugs couldn’t sort. Thank you Heather "

"Magical and spiritual is the best way to describe the home and surroundings. We had everything we needed and more. Privacy, peaceful, connection and slowing down. Words can’t explain the wonderful experience. Absolutely perfect way to embrace the Aloha spirit! Thank you Mike for helping us slow down to enjoy the beautiful planet we live on. "

"A nice location away from the hustle and bustle of Kona but within reach of Captain Cook and Volcanoe / Hilo areas. We enjoyed our short stay chilling on the deck and exploring the farm with short drives to 2 step snorkelling and coffee farms and cafes. Nice place to return after a long day of exploring. "
