Set within 10 km of Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park and 16 km of Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park in Captain Cook, A Beautiful Edge of the World Bed & Breakfast offers accommodation with seating area. Offering free private parking, the 3-star bed and breakfast is 5.4 km from Kealakekua Bay. The bed and breakfast has family rooms. An absolutely great spot to spend some days on Hawai‘i. I stayed in the Crow‘s Nest, the room on top of the house. You have an extraordinary view on the tropical landscape and the ocean. Sun sets must be absolutely breathtaking (if there are now clouds). The view is great from the lanai on the main floor as well. My room was spacious with many windows overlooking the great landscape. The washroom has a big shower. There is a spacious room to put your clouts. And there is a personal fridge as well. The Crow‘s Nest comes with a totally privat lanai. Everything was clean and well maintained. The hosts are very friendly and helpful when you need any information on the surroundings. If you stay there for at least three nights, you can have your washing done for free. There is a nice hammock on the main lanai, I spent quite some time reading there. The breakfasts are freshly cooked, nice and healthy. They come with fresh fruits from the property. And with nice coffee grown on the property as well. So truly a great place to stay!
