This was the perfect cabin and location for our Big Island vacation. We loved the sounds of the coqui frogs at night -- I suppose if you need absolute silence, it might not be the right place for you, but the frogs lulled us right to sleep.
When we got there, we were also stocked for a couple meals with home-baked bread, eggs from their chickens, homemade passionfruit jam, and a whole assortment of fruit. It was all delicious and we devoured it within 24 hours.
The location was also amazing for Kona. Everything is within a short drive, especially if you like snorkeling. There's some really good food in the area too -- I recommend Magics Beach Grill and also Shaka Tacoz. But we didn't eat out that much, and actually got groceries for most of our meals. The kitchen was fully equipped to cook whatever we wanted for 2 people.
Definitely rent a vehicle with 4 wheel drive, as you need to drive up a steep, paved road and then an unpaved hill to get to the cabin. Also, get bug spray -- we loved the gazebo, but so did the mosquitos!
Word to the wise -- even if it's rainy at the cabin, just drive to the coast for a day at the beach, and it is usually clear blue skies there. Personally we enjoyed the rainy afternoons at the cabin -- being from a desert area, the moisture was more than welcome.
Overall this was the perfect place for us. Nice and secluded, absolutely gorgeous, and a prime location. Side note, my partner and I were a tad worried about coming to Hawaii and meeting a bunch of big nasty centipedes (google led us to believe they're everywhere). But I can say with full confidence that we encountered ZERO centipedes during our stay. For anyone who is wondering. :)
We highly recommend this cabin and if/when we visit the Big Island again, I'd love to return to Jeffrey and Heide's cabin. Thank you both again!!
