Positive: Loved having a kitchen & being able to cook breakfast in the morning. Was nice to be able to have anything in Sandra's garden. I was able to pick a fresh papaya from a tree & eat it. Bed & sofa was all comfy. Had beach chairs sun, umbrella, boggie boards & noodles to use. Also nice to have a drying rack & detergent to wash clothes. Sandra's was a warm & welcoming host with great suggestions of what to visit. There was also Big Island Guide Books and a binder with suggestions for restaurants, beaches, snorkling etc which was helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed staying in a quiet neighborhood.
