Ossian's place was great. It was perfect for our needs. While not exactly close to Kona in terms of walking, if you have a rental car, it was very easy to access Kona, Captain Cook's Monument, and even travel up to Hawi. The place is well stocked with cooking utensils and we absolutely loved the sun porch in the mornings. If you enjoy pets, the dog and cat on property are a nice treat. Also, the chickens and horse on the neighboring property were a joy to see. We would definitely recommend this location for someone looking to stay away from downtown and hear the natural sounds of Hawaii.
