We had an absolutely wonderful time at the guest house. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to serve as the home base for our honeymoon adventures. It had everything we needed and more. It was conveniently located close to Kona, but far enough away to be very private, and the location allowed us to tour most of the Big Island in our two weeks.
As advertised in the listing, there are roosters that crow in the morning and tree frogs that sing at night. We loved these nature sounds and they didn’t bother us one bit. However, if that’s not your thing then keep that in mind. Additionally, because it is located up the mountain in coffee country it does rain lightly almost every day for a few hours, at least when we were there. This was not an issue for us at all because we were always out of the house during the afternoon and somewhere on a beach in the sun. The rain is very localized to the Kona coffee area so if you were thinking of staying in the house for your entire vacation, this may bother you, but it didn’t affect us at all.
The listing was very accurate. We were not disappointed in the least! The view is identical to as shown in the pictures. We had no trouble finding/accessing the place, even though we arrived in the dark. The guest house is also fully stocked in terms of dishes, utensils, towels, basic condiments (salt/pepper, etc.), the essentials for cooking (oil, basic spices), which we found super helpful. The property was very well maintained and clean. We met the owner once, she was very friendly and helpful. We had absolutely no issues while we stayed at the guesthouse. We would recommend this property for honeymooners or a couple who are interested in a private and relaxing setting up on the mountain, away from the business of Kona. You are about a 10 - 15 drive down to Kona and the beaches.
We had a great time and although I doubt we will be back (so much more of the world to see) we strongly recommend the property.
