The Santai cottage was an ideal retreat for our Hawaiian vacation. We had been to Kona a few times before and wanted a quiet place to stay away from the resorts and crowds, and this checked all the boxes. The cottage is beautifully designed and decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were there about 12 days, and spent our days enjoying the beaches, taking day trips, having adventures in the warm weather, and always looked forward to returning to the cottage for a soak in the hot tub and a nice view of the sunset. Karen and Chad were terrific hosts. Karen was there to greet us when we arrived and had the cottage already stocked with coffee and home made treats for breakfast the next day. She provided recommendations for us on restaurants when we asked, checked in on us once to ensure everything was okay, and was very responsive when we reached out. Great place, great hosts and great communication! We would definitely stay here again. One thing to be mindful of: there is no clothes washer or dryer at the cottage so if you plan to stay a while, be prepared for a trip to the laundromat in Kona, about a 10 minute drive away, if you want to do your wash.
