This house is definitely amazing! The location is not that close to Kona, but not far either. It also saved me much time when we went to the black sand beach and Volcano NP. Plus, it's sooo close to the Puuhonua O Honaunau NHP which I see as a hidden gem on the island. The house feels even better than what it looks like on the listing photos, and specifically I loved the semi-open space that's connected with one of the bedrooms -- it just feels so close to nature without the need of worrying about annoying bugs and mosquitoes (if you don't let them in through open windows/doors).
Aside from all these, James is just great to work with. He satisfied all our needs during the stay (no heater provided but that's indeed unnecessary after we shut the windows, even during those days right after the storm). Beach chairs are not listed on the website, but James offered them to us during our stay. We even had fresh eggs that definitely tasted better than the ones we got from Costco ;)
