"This place is for the adventurer at heart. If you can’t handle cabin like conditions…interfacing with the wild & the noise displayed by the night critters & beautiful birds singing their hearts away early morning, this is not for you! We even had a gecko that would pop in to have breakfast with us…he loved jelly! The host & staff are very friendly & put out an organic spread for breakfast to start your day. It’s pretty remote out there, but there is an amazing place called the coffee shack a few miles away that has excellent lattes & an amazing menu. It’s very busy, but worth the wait. We rented a 4x4 jeep & went off roading & it was a magnificent experience. Made it out to the Green Beach which was absolutely worth the rough ride."

"Beautiful and peaceful stay! The house was clean, well-equipped, and had stunning mountain and shoreline views. Breakfast was delicious every day, and the host was very friendly. Just a heads-up — finding the road to the hotel took a bit of time, but everything else was perfect!"

" It's a beautiful & comfortable house-photos accurate. The drive down is a bit nerve racking if you're a flat lander, but it gets easier the more trips you take. There are many spices & condiments in kitchen. Stop first to see what you may need, then grab a cooler off the deck and head to Ocean view for groceries. Driving everywhere didn't seem too far-it is so scenic. We watched the sunset from the pool every night-glorious!"

"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. "

"Clean place"

"This property was very clean and well-stocked with many items to make our stay very comfortable. The views are beautiful and we did enjoy a round of golf. It’s not in great shape, but the reviews are stunning! We really enjoyed the outdoor living part of this home. The pool was wonderful to have; however, the listing stated it was heated, but should be clarified to say “solar heated”. We would definitely come back to stay at this property again!"

"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. "
