I highly recommend staying at the Kona Coffee Cottage. It offers such a unique experience, with a more local feel than the resorts. Beautiful location with views of the cocoa fields and quiet porch to enjoy the sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee from the farm. Great place for a laid-back stay. The cottage has everything you need and large windows to relax and take in the scenery. Jessica is a fantastic host who really shares the aloha spirit! She even prepared a phenomenal pupu platter that was waiting for me when I arrived. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
