It's hard to come up with more to add when a place has as many 5 star reviews as Debi and Bob's cottage - which is a good thing. We stayed with them for 5 nights and found that all the wonderful things that others had said about them to be true. We loved the view - sitting on the lanai watching the sunset each evening, alone is enough to earn 5 stars. But the warm and inviting interior of the cottage with its comfortable bedroom and large kitchen-living room space is a plus. Next top that off with a 75 foot lap swimming pool for your morning exercise, add in their charming yellow labs and labradoodles and top it off with Bob and Debi's warm and convivial personalities and you have a unique and wonderful place to stay - except we really shouldn't be saying such nice things because too many people will read about them and they will be all booked up and we won't be able to schedule our next visit there. Their home is on 5 acres about a half-mile up the hill from Alii Drive, the main drag in Kailua Town on the Kona coast. There is a convenient grocery store (KTA) in a shopping center about 5 minutes south of the cottage. A few minutes north on Alii is a farmer's market - food truck combination with wonderful local produce and tasty treats. From there you hit the more touristy and crowded section of Kailua, but it's worth at least one walk through. There are three small beaches along Alii drive close to where the private road up to Bob and Debi's intersects Alii. The bigger beaches are about 45 minutes to an hour north at Hapuna Beach and Wailea Beach, past the Kona resort areas. The cottage is located about a half hour drive south of the Kona airport. It is about an hour and a half drive up north to visit the charming little twin towns of Hawi (pronounced Ha-Vee) and Kapaau where there are some outstanding galleries and surprisingly good places to eat in a laid back, comfortable setting. It is also about an hour and half drive across the Saddle Road between Mona Loa and Mona Kea to Hilo and the east side of the island - where you can visit some wonderful waterfalls and Volcano National Park. The Big Island is big, with lots to discover about Hawaii's history and culture. Debi and Bob's cottage is a great base for getting to know this wonderful island - the only problem is tearing yourself away from their home to go see any of the other sights. You might just want to stay, look at the ocean, play with the dogs, and keep your wine chilling to enjoy as you enjoy the sunset and the night sky full of stars that follows.
