Great Location and Setting
Publié le 16 déc. 2024 sur HomeAwayFrom the house photos, and location at 2,500 feet, we were expecting rain every afternoon, but only saw it clouding over in afternoon and on two days had clear blue skies to sunset. The deck was very wet in the morning with dew. It is a lovely house, with a great deck to enjoy breakfast from, set in a beautiful, extensive, private, tropical garden, which we loved walking around. We enjoyed the great, very peaceful, relaxing, location that was within a ten minute drive down the hill to Kona, and the beaches, but also close to the "Belt Road" for easy access to north, south and east of the island. We did find the house chilly in the evening (no heating) and cold in the morning, even after the sun had warmed up the outside deck. So be prepared! Of all the places we have stayed at in Hawaii over the years, this was the best and we plan on returning there next time.

Beautiful Forest Location
Publié le 27 nov. 2024 sur HomeAwayThis property is at a higher elevation which is great to come back to after a hot day on the beach. That said it is quite cool in the morning and evenings - we wore sweatshirts and pants inside. Mid-morning it starts to warm up and the back lanai is a beautiful spot to lounge in the sun.
The cottage grounds are beautiful - with lush, tropical plants everywhere. We had no issues with mosquitoes, just the odd moth but didn’t bother us.
Inside of the suite does feel like a cottage in the forest and not a hotel. Floors were not the cleanest and there were some dead bugs in the throw rugs. We did find a couple cockroaches in the kitchen around the sink, but I would expect this anywhere in this sort of environment. Some appliances could use a clean (coffee maker).
The cottage itself provided everything we needed - from shower amenities/hairdryer, to extra sunscreen to beach chairs and snorkel equipment. The beach umbrella was a lifesaver and we used it on a number of occasions. Our beach towels did get quite grimy after a couple days. Our host did ask if we wanted replacements but it was almost the end of our stay and we didn’t have any more trips planned.
Bed was comfortable and blankets the perfect weight. Tree frogs are loud but earplugs block them out completely and they stop sometime around 1 am. We got used to them after a few days and didn’t have a problem.
Would definitely recommend staying somewhere like this rather than in Kona.

I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed my place. Apologies in regard to the dead bugs. Unfortunately your stay was just after my regular exterminator visit. That can bring out any critters that thought they should move in. It can sometimes be a challenge in this Hawaiian forest environment.

Honeymoon Paradise
Publié le 30 oct. 2024 sur HomeAwayThis is a great place to stay with you and one significant other. Beautiful sights and sounds, while still being close enough to town to go in if you want. Great launching point for adventures.

Cool cottage in the Clouds
Publié le 25 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay and proximity to all the great Kona beaches. The visiting pheasants were a lot of fun. The higher elevation made it great for sleeping at night.

Loved our stay in the adorable tropical cottage
Publié le 9 sept. 2024 sur HomeAwayMy partner and I absolutely loved staying in the tropical cottage- it was so beautiful both inside and out, and had everything we needed. We loved the visits from the pheasants every morning and falling asleep to the coqui frogs every night. The landscaping is just gorgeous, and the decorations in the cottage are lovely. The perfect place for a little romantic retreat.

Doesn't get much better
Publié le 26 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayLoved the cottage. Great location that isn't far from Kona sights but feels like it's in a different world. Quiet nights with nothing but the sounds of the jungle. One of the things we appreciated most was the gloriously cool nights. The jungle temps were often 10 degrees cooler than down by the coast making sleeping amazingly comfortable.

Nice location for a short stay
Publié le 20 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayThis vacation was my first without children in 3 decades and we were really looking forward to a week back home. We started in Hilo and this was my first experience choosing through VRBO. That experience went perfectly...5 stars. I chose this location for Kona side mainly based on privacy. The neighborhood was very quiet, the gardens were beautiful, and the pheasants were a pleasant surprise. What wasn't expected was the printout front/back of rules, plus the messages of additional rules! Hawaiians tend to live Aloha so it just seemed unpleasant to have to squeegie the shower or face additional cleaning fees. We wanted to sit outside at night but because there's standing water we were eaten alive by mosquitos even with the citronella candle. And, the mosquito zappers didn't work. She didn't tell us when we booked that the gardeners would be coming as early as 8am on Monday during our stay. If she told us early on we could have cancelled since we work night shift. The internet worked a few minutes out of each day and Mary did reboot the modem...finally she told us we could use her internet to check in for our flights but we asked someone back home to do it for us. Overall, I would give the experience 4 stars but I think we would choose another location the next time we are Kona side.

Just to clarify, there is a printout on the desk
One side =a "Welcome" and the other side some "basic" house rules and check out instructions. There are no squeegee fee's or additional messages of rules. ?
*Gardeners come once every 2 weeks ( it is required to keep the place looking great )
I have 3 Lilly pots on the front deck with mosquito fish-the purpose is to control mosquito. This is a rain forest.
and finally...internet not working right was extremely frustrating, for me too. This is not something we ever plan on. All I could do is try to keep resetting till I could get the Tecnition out to fix the problem.
