Kelly and Jason’s cottage is the perfect family getaway. I spent 10 days on the property with my mother and my 16 month old daughter and had a fantastic time. My daughter was thrilled to have so much freedom to roam around the garden, look at trees, pick fruit and follow the chickens and roosters. It takes about 30 mins to get to downtown Hilo, 2 hours to get to Kona and 45 mins to get to the the Volcano Park. Jason was a fantastic host; he taught us all about the plants in the garden and let us try everything that was ripe… bananas, papayas, coconut, limes, lemongrass (tea), and sugarcane! He gave us great suggestions as to where to go and was quick to respond to any of our needs. The cottage is very private, has a great kitchen for cooking, comfortable beds, fast wifi, and a clean bathroom. Our only complaint were the mosquitoes outside, but that unfortunately comes with the territory of being in the tropics. We hope to return again some day! Thanks for everything!
