This place was beautiful. We loved that it was slightly removed from the busy streets of Kona, yet it was just a 15 minute drive to some beatiful beaches. It was centrally located so that we were able to go to white sand beaches, go hiking near Hawi, and eat and go to the Farmer's Market in Waimea. On top of that, it was furnished beautifully, stocked with movies for after the sun went down (the view of the sunset is beautiful), and the beds were incredibly comfortable! I can't believe there were people paying at least twice as much for a single hotel room in Kona when Alice offers her entire plantation house with fully stocked kitchen for less just a 45 min drive away!! I would absolutely reccommend staying here, it won't be a disappointment and is just as the pictures promise.
Recommended for:Adventure seekers, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, people with disabilities, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Alice Humbert owns the Kaunu cottage, from whom we rented personally on VRBO. We were privileged to be able to experience this cottage. The cottage was immaculate and beautifully furnished and decorated. From the moment you open the door you are transported into a world that takes you back to an earlier time in Hawaii. Everything you could want is in this cottage. From a coffee grinder for that fresh and famous Kona Coffee available all over the island to a washer and dryer just the right size for keeping your suit and board shorts ready to wear. The two comfortable bedrooms have the island style atmosphere and if you close your eyes you can almost feel taken back in time. Each morning we enjoyed our coffee on the beautiful lanai with ocean views and beautiful sunsets. The sounds of the local birds added to this picturesque setting. We would spend our mornings at the beach and afternoons in the private yard where we enjoyed tanning or just a little nap! Great surfing, boogie boarding, diving and every other beach/water sport imaginable is near by. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off people and gear. In the evenings we could prepare our own meals either at the cottage or barbecue on the lanai. This cottage has it all! Several of the best beaches on the Big Island are ten minutes away and we had many restaurants to choose from along the Kohala coast or up country in Waimea. We had such a wonderful time and Alice provided us with a wealth of local knowledge and aloha that made our stay memorable.

We loved staying at this perfect hideaway by the Kohala coast. Only 15 minutes from the best beaches on the island without all the crowds, traffic and expense. It was the PERFECT house for my family with a fully stocked kitchen. The owner did not spare any details on the furnishings, linens, decor. There was even a full selection of DVDs and a flat screen TV...included also was free wireless. The place had perfect views of the ocean. It was a bit windy when we stayed there but it did not detract from our experience at all. We loved it and will recommend over and over again. Our stay lasted from March 29-31.
