My wife and I truly loved our stay at Jamie and Tonya's place in the Captain Cook area. Staying here added greatly to our visit to the Big Island. We loved going out each day after cooking a great breakfast at "home" and returning to the sound of the coqui frogs and cool temps. Their place offers everything you need to prepare meals and you can feel great about living in a place with a small footprint on the Earth. The space is very roomy ~ it is an open floor plan so it works great for couples. The lanai is lovely for enjoying sunsets, coffee in the am and watching birds fly about.
The location is perfect for visiting other places around the island. Kona is about 20 minutes away in good traffic, Volcano National Park just under 2 hours as well as the northern part of the island. You are very close to amazing snorkeling locations such as Two Step and Kahalu'u Beach Park.
As other folks have mentioned, you will encounter some mosquitoes depending on the time of your visit. We found the first night was the worse ... perhaps they didn't like us afterwards or we got use to them ;) I truly wouldn't let this deter your decision. The drive up to their place adds to its character as well. It is a step one-way road paved where you yield to upcoming traffic. There are places to pull over and we didn't encounter a lot of traffic, especially in the dark of night.
This is a magical place .... thank you again for being such great hosts!
