We had looked at the reviews and we had high expectations and we have been fully satisfied. The cottage consists in one big room, cleverly divided, so it almost looks like 2 rooms. Bathroom is in an adjacent small building. There is a separate additional small cottage that we did not use but we much enjoyed its deck. The view is very beautiful. Privacy is good. The rental seems to be in a wet spot of the island, we had several afternoon showers during our stay (even the center of Captain Cook, 15 miles north, looks dryer). The reward is a beautiful tropical vegetation. Some days, it has been hard to get things dry. From the cottage one has good access to the south beaches and the owner provides good information. For going north of Kona, to the Kohala beaches, going through Kona is a pain. At any rate, one has to drive for everything. There is almost no noise from the highway. Communications with the owner have been easy and pleasant. When possible, considering the rental schedule, the owner spontaneously proposes a late check out, which is very nice.
We stayed 9 nights and we certainly wish to stay again at that place.
