This goes beyond "cottage". It is a stylish little 2 bedroom/2 bath home perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific. It has a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill, fire pit, hot tub....you could stay for weeks and feel like you needed nothing. Plus the privacy is great. There is a larger house up the hill on the property but for the most part you don't see or hear other people. There ARE the sounds of the country (frogs, birds) so it's not dead quiet. In my book these are all charming and relaxing sounds. The whole thing took my blood pressure down several notches and we were only there for a couple of days. Just don't go into Kona and you will feel well-rested and like you've escaped to another world for a little while. The small towns in this area are quite interesting, filled with galleries and nice restaurants. I highly recommend this part of the Island and this house specifically.
