The Nook is as beautiful as in the pictures, and even cozier than it looks. The location is perfect, close to a grocery store, top restaurants, beaches, and most of the Kailua-Kona-Kohala activites, without the big touristy crowds of the Koahala coast. It's also an easy hour drive for farther activites such as exploring Hawi and the Pololu Valley, the Waipio Valley, Waimea or stargazing on the Mauna Kea. We found it very convenient :)
Ciara was very very responsive to any request or issues we had, and we appreciated it. We felt welcome, and it was a wonderful home away from home :) We highly recommend it!!
