Smack in the middle of Kona coffee country, with great sunsets and farmers markets and poke places in all directions. Nothing is super close, but the entire island is accessible from here, and the snorkeling at the nearby beach (called “2-step”) is some of the best on the island. Accommodations weren’t luxurious, but clean, well maintained and everything worked. House rules sound onerous, but in practice it was nice to not have to worry about a neighbor partying all night. Delicious fruit growing everywhere on the property! A car is required, and be warned that you’re 45 minutes to an hour from the airport. Hilo, volcano and south side beaches are very accessible, and downtown Kona is a reasonable half hour drive. Kohala golf courses and nightlife are an hour away or more, so keep that in mind.
