If you enjoy a more 'Off the Beaten Path' experience, this is it! We absolutely loved staying here and can't wait to go back. It is so quiet. No cars, no construction, no traffic, just peace. You'll need to bring supplies with you because there isn't anything near by. The best part of this place is its proximity to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. We swam with turtles and lucked out with seeing baby tur...

We bring in ...
