Property is quaint and peaceful. I loved the solitude and the many calls of the birds and animals. Location provided us with easy access to many beaches and other sites of interest to my wife and I. Hosts also made sure things were in working order and responded very quickly if we had questions. We wish to stay at this location again. We had a dream vacation!

Sometimes you have to take five star ratings on lodging and restaurants with a grain of salt because people tend to dish out 4 and 5 stars too easily. Not this lodging. Excellent, friendly and generous hosts. Reasonable price. You get an excellent value. The beauty of the elevation is that you get the panorama of the Pacific ocean, a rural setting (for Kona) just below Holualoa, and the sun and the coolness of the elevation. Any lower and you would be warmer at night, experience the humidity sometimes felt on Ali'i and lower elevations when the trades are not blowing, and you would be rubbing shoulders with more subdivisions with their parties and dogs barking. This is an ohana (family) place, not what you want if you want to party. The beauty of the location is that it is very convenient to Kona and gives you options of more than one route whether you are going north, south, or east. Comes in handy with traffic which is becoming more and more a part of the west side of The Big Island. The unit itself is comfortable and everything is nearly new or remodeled. You can't get a much better owner/manager than Karrie. Fresh fruit, lots of trees and greenery, birds, turkeys, and other wildlife--the affectionate cat is no extra charge. If there is a time opening, consider yourself blessed. These ohana units are very hard to find.
