We rented this place to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday. We thought it would be weird to have the owners on site. But let me tell you, Ryan and Beata (not sure how to spell her name) are the most amazing hosts. Having other guests in a nearby villa seemed weird at first until they joined us one evening and told us about some hikes and shared an adult beverage with us. It is a very peaceful property. Pool is amazing and villa has everything you need unless you want an oven or stove. Who needs that in Hawaii? Property is immense with beautiful lush tropical plants, geckos and frogs. Backs up to the Captain Cook trail and the trail head is just up the road. 30 minutes from Kona so it’s peaceful and private. Only downfall was the bugs eating us alive but the owners gave us bug spray which probably kept us alive with all the blood they wanted to suck out of us. Also, solar heated so the shower water isn’t super hot which I actually liked. So refreshing to take a cool shower after a day in the hot sun. Seriously 5 stars. We will definitely be back.
