Summary: The Waipio Valley home is incredible and Kristy and Sukumar were fabulous hosts. The drive into the house is so beautiful and was glad to have Kristy and Sukumar do the driving. The house was fully stocked with everything you might need including yoga mats, beach towels and all kitchen and bathroom accessories. That was very nice to have. We enjoyed the tranquility of the home. We walked down to the black sand beach and the waterfall. We picked bananas, oranges and cacoa fruits from the trees on the property. It was really a special place to stay and Kristy and Sukumar were excellent hosts. I highly recommend staying here it really made our visit to the Big Island special and unique.
