If you love to snorkel, this is the place to stay! Hounaunau (2 step) is only a few minutes away. We visited our favorite underwater paradise early every morning. The breadbasket bakery lies at the entrance to the driveway, famous for its warm homemade bread and muffins. We relaxed in the hot tub and in a very comfortable bed. The outdoor shower was a high point of our experience. Mango, papaya, allspice and banana trees grow all around, with fresh fruit available. We lounged in our private yard and watched the birds. Kathy is a fantastic host. We loved staying here and plan to return on our next visit.

It was a privilege to stay in this space while we explored The Big Island. We are always looking to feel closer to the locals and experience what it is to live where we visit. We felt close to nature and our host had great recommendations that made our trip exciting and relaxing. I love an outdoor shower! We easily made food at “home” and had everything we needed for our island adventures. Being close to Two Step was such a treat.

Loved our stay here - truly, it was as advertised - a tropical hideaway indeed!Kathy and Mark made us feel welcomed and offered anything we needed. Including apple bananas and other fruits grown on-property.The coqui choir sang all night long and made our stay memorable. Two step - the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii in my opinion, just a few miles down the hill - and we were able to go each day of our stay.We even took in the Saturday evening mass at the painted church an were greeted with beautiful Aloha and leis.Highly recommend this lovely location.

Kathleen was a very welcoming host and had everything we needed for our stay. A great experience to be out in the jungle with an outdoor shower and with surrounding screen windows in a private area that gives the stay a true getaway feel. Just be prepared to experience all the sounds of the jungle with roosters and frogs. Would stay again!
