The Crows Nest is an awesome place. It has great touches and the location is great (for exploring this part of the island). If you plan to go to Kona a lot it may be a bit far unless you like driving. The place is clean and well furnished. Note it is not a Ritz so if you are looking for that this may not be the place. If you are looking for a nice place that has what you need for a great vacation at the same time expressing a concern for your carbon foot print this is it. The views are amazing and the sounds are perfect...ocean waves and rain (for us). Would recommend the house and the local hosts will take care of you. They made it extra special.
