If you are staying on the Kona coast on the big island you should definitely stay at Plumeria. It was a perfect place to stay for many reasons. The cottage is very private and looks as if it is brand new. It is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. The kitchen also included helpful things such as cooking oils, spices, and condiments. Plumeria was a perfect place to make daily excursions. We spent a day at Hapuna beach and made use of Sandy’s beach chairs and beach umbrellas( the umbrellas were crucial as it was a very hot sun that day). Perhaps the best reason to stay at Plumeria is that you learn why Sandy is listed as a super host. Sandy met us when we arrived and responded within minutes to our texts if we had a question. Sandy was also very generous in giving us a late check out as our flight home was not until fairly late. We very highly recommend staying at Plumeria!!
