Rick’s Place IS Paradise-truly heavenly! We've stayed in many VRBOs over the years, and this has been our favourite by far.Dan is an amazing host, and the home had every amenity we could have wanted. We especially loved the serene ocean views, spectacular sunsets, dolphins swimming by, the soothing sound of the waves, the plunge pool, and the peaceful atmosphere.The location was perfect for exploring the island. We enjoyed visiting nearby beaches, roadside fruit stands, Banana Bread Spot, fantastic snorkelling, the Coffee Shack, and the Kona Magic Chocolate farm (don't miss their Saturday and Sunday tastings-you'll leave with chocolate!). Every day brought a new adventure.Rick's Place gave us the opportunity to experience the authentic Big Island, so peaceful, beautiful, friendly, and full of aloha. We are AC people and took a chance based on others’ reviews-they are correct- the bed, and ocean breeze no AC required. Mahalo, Dan, for sharing your special place with us. We hope to return one day!
