Sandy made us feel very welcome, and later we were delighted to meet Bruce. Lumeria Cottage is abundantly more than the front view suggests. It is a spacious, private sanctuary readily available to conveniences, beaches and points of interest 1/2 mile south of Kona. At its elevation of approximately 1,300 feet, the beautiful and tasteful decor and modern conveniences in a spotlessly clean and well organized spacious environment made our stay exceptionally delightful. As a bonus, the secluded back yard lanai amidst a tropical garden provided a perfect retreat for a vacation in paradise. Plumeria Cottage was a surprise in so many ways and definitely the most comfortable, private and beautiful accommodation during our five trips to Hawaii. Five stars from Anita and Charlie Whalen of Naperville, IL celebrating 50 years together. We definitely look forward to staying there again!
