Overview
House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)
This is a quiet retreat on South Point at the top of Discovery Harbour, where the weather is not too hot or cold year round. We now have wi-fi internet throughout the house, but no television. We do have good signal for most cell phone plans. But please feel free to disconnect from the rest of the world and enjoy all the island has to offer. The coffeemaker has a builtin grinder for whole beans, so enjoy a cup of local coffee on the lanai.
Volcano National Park is 30 minutes away. Punaluu Black Sand Beach is 10 minutes away, and the Punaluu golf course is close to the beach.
Naalehu, the southernmost town in the U.S., is 2 miles away and offers a good farmer's market on Wdenesdays. The bakery is worth the trip, and we reccomend the Hana Hau Restatraunt as well.
Whittington Park offers great oceanside picnicking and tidal pools to explore. South Point is beautiful with the sea caves and cliff divers, and Green Sands is worth the trip.
The house has 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds. There is a TV and DVD player. There is a Redbox location in Ocean View, 10 minutes down the road.

About Mark and Maggie Dudash
We fell in love with Hawaii when we went on a second honeymoon. South Point is quiet and rural, just the way we like it. We live about an hour outside of Chicago, and enjoy some of the amenities that a big city has to offer, but prefer a more quiet life, at home and on vacation. We enjoy traveling with our girls, and as a family like to explore God's creation. Living on the Great Lakes made us look for water, and we enjoy the ocean and all it has to offer.
Mark and Maggie Dudash purchased this house in 2010
Why Mark and Maggie Dudash chose Ka'u District
We chose South Point for its quiet rural setting and proximity to the National Park. We enjoy hiking and kayaking, and sitting on the shore listening to the ocean. We also like the tradewinds and cooler temperatures at night.
What makes this house unique
The local coffee is great. We love the access to Farmers' Markets and fruit stands. Volcano Village and Naalehu are quiet towns with a unique Island character that we appreciate. The fact that we're halfway between Hilo and Kona give us the advantage of both sides of the island to explore.

Wonderful!

Absolutely wonderful...a home away from home! Went beyond our expectations.
This wonderful house went beyond our expectations. When we arrived and entered the house we couldn't believe how lovely it was. It had everything you need, fully stocked with towels, linens, paper towels, kitchen staples, etc.. There are three bedroom and two bathrooms, dining room, open living room with high ceilings. There is a washer and dryer in the garage. The kitchen has the main appliances and also a dishwasher. The area is very relaxing and peaceful. I enjoyed sitting on the lanai having my coffee in the morning. Maggie was so helpful and easy to communicate with. I would love to stay there again.
Perfect home!
We were in HI to visit our daughter in Naalehu and Mark and Maggie's home was perfect! We valued the warm welcome from the neighbor that manages the property, the neat and clean space, the firm and comfortable beds, the washer and dryer, full kitchen -- and proximity to exactly what we wanted. We spent one day at the volcano and enjoyed one evening at black sand beach and another down at south point. As others point out, there aren't a ton of restaurants close by. For us, that was perfectly okay -- we picked up a couple of prepared foods at Costco in Kona when we flew in and used those for multiple meals. A loaf of bread from the famous bakery provided daily breakfast toast along with fruit from a local fruit stand. No cooking necessary, but no excessive restaurant food either!
GREAT place in an awesome location!
Our family of four LOVED staying at Mark and Maggie's place. Communication with Mark and Maggie was great, although we never met them. Their caretakers are neighbors and one of the greatest couples we've met in our travels. Sheri and Mac answered all our questions, helped us figure out the best beaches to go with our kids, and even gave us a tour of there AMAZING garden - and shared some of their fruit with us! The home itself has a fantastic kitchen and is very spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Mark and Maggie's place!
PERFECT! Everything you need to really take advantage of cooking in!
Maggie and Mark have done a great job of providing a perfect place to stay. In an area with few restaurant choices, being able to find everything you need in this kitchen really made the difference! Lovely house with plenty of room, nice breezes kept it cool. Especially perfect for PQ parents- a 5 minute drive away but being able to come back to a quiet, fully equipped house really made the difference. There should be a 6th star for Sheri who manages the property. Welcoming, friendly, helpful and knows the area. When you are in a remote area it is so nice to know you have someone to contact for questions, suggestions. Hope to return soon! We really loved that part of the island and this made it a home away from home for the few days we were there. Thanks!
Lovely home
The house was very nice, not fancy, but very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The property mgr lives right door and was very sweet. I'm glad I rented this property!
Very cute, immaculate home with everything you need.
We had a wonderful stay at this adorable home. Mark and Maggie made everything so easy. Sheri, the property manager, greeted us the first morning with fresh oranges and limes. The home very nice, and is located in a very quiet, nice neighborhood. It was well stocked with everything you can imagine! We would definitely stay there again!
