Rural Hawaii stay
Posted Oct. 28, 2024 on HomeAwayWe stayed at this property for 10 days in Oct and had a marvelous time.
Pros:
- very clean
- nice touches like good quality draperies, dishes and bedding, good appliances and well stocked kitchen. It is not fancy, but nice
- good communication with hosts; friendly people but not intrusive
- jaw dropping panorama views of the lush slope, with the ocean beyond and magical sunsets
- veranda is not pictured in the photos and it was better than expected: quite large with decent furniture including small dining table as well as coffee table and chairs, and 2 comfy lounge chairs.
- Even if it was 29 or 30 degrees celsius during the day, it cooled off nicely at night. In fact some nights we had to close the windows as it was a bit too cool for us. I wished I had brought a sweater for the evenings, but there were blankets in a trunk
- this is a rural area so you will hear frogs, neighborhood dogs, goats/ sheep bleating. With the dawn the roosters start to crow. What you won't hear is annoying people noise.
Cons:
- The road to Kona is a very curvy, but has reflectors which makes it doable in the dark. Arriving late in the dark it was a bit tricky finding the right door
-if you plan to see Volcano Park / S Point, as well as Kona this is a great halfway point. If you plan to do most of your activities in the Kona area or N, expect to drive that curvy road alot. Affordable groceries were an hour north. Our favorite beach was Kahalu'u, which was 45 min north.

Great Stay
Posted Apr. 27, 2024 on HomeAwayMy wife and I enjoyed our stay here. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. House was great with an amazing view. Their pets were friendly and always welcomed us back to the house. Would definitely recommend this place.

rural environment
Posted Apr. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed being away from Kona and close to outdoor activities. The dog and cats were fun and hosts pleasant.

Farm in South Hawaii
Posted Dec. 5, 2023 on HomeAwayDelightful and cozy little home on a small organic farm was a perfect contrast to the usual resort stay. The seclusion and morning views of the ocean were wonderful. Good bed, good WiFi, well -equipped kitchen and friendly pets made us feel at home. Our hosts were friendly and helpful!

Fabulous!

Wonderful and close to nature!
Posted Oct. 19, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a lovely, relaxing stay here. The view from the farm cottage in unparalleled. Hosts were welcoming and wonderful. Home is clean and well stocked, even with beach gear! It was nice to be close to farms, nature, beaches and fresh produce in South Kona. Highly recommend!

Convenient and modern - but warm
Posted Oct. 18, 2023 on HomeAwayThe VRBO was a 20 min drive to Hilo and not far from other places we wanted to visit. It had everything we needed, but does not have air conditioning. From what we understand thats fairly common on the island, but even with the two fans it was still uncomfortably hot.

Get away from the crowds for a more peaceful experience.
Posted Oct. 2, 2023 on HomeAwayOn the south side this is a great place to stay. You can check out the South Unit of Volcano NP Th-Sun. Also close enough to the main NP unit. Hike to Holomolokini beach (be respectful of locals-park a bit up the road at picnic benches and realize its through a forest and your feet may get wet-an ‘adventure’). The pets were also a highlight and we loved chilling on the lanai with wonderful ocean views while petting them. Host was more then gracious. Get a more hawaiian experience!
