Hawi Haven, Big Island Hawaii
Review Submitted: June 30, 2009

Easy to make arrangements with owner. House has nice layout and lots of provisions we weren't expecting to find, but very much appreciated! House had not been used recently and we could tell - needed more cleaning / wiping down, but not a big deal. No air conditioning but ceiling fans in every room made it comfortable and it cooled down at night. Lots of great beaches and activities nearby though the town itself is very small. Recommend: swimming at Hapuna State Beach (NW), sunsets at Kapaa Beach Park (NW), shopping in Waimea (Central), visiting Akaka fall (NE) and Mauna Kea Observatory (Central), Volcano National Park (SE), snorkeling at Kahalu'u beach (SW) and Greenwells coffee tour (SW), gourmet meals at Cafe Pesto (Kawaihae, NW). Had a great visit and enjoyed staying at the house. Will definitely rent a house - not a hotel - on our next vacation! The convenience, personal space, and savings in food/laundry really make it worthwhile.
