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. It was for sure not what I was expecting - and probably not what you can imagine! Kurt and Kana create an amazing environment where you feel not only incredibly welcome, but also extremely comfortable. The room is great, location also great, breakfast is delicious - with a different menu everyday, full of fresh fruit - and they offer you literally everything you need (and more) to have the perfect stay in the Big Island!
