As others have said in their reviews, this property is very special. We were on our honeymoon and stayed in the suite, so we had a little more privacy than some of the other accommodations. I recommend this place to people interested in exploring the various types of communal living allowed so easily by the Big island.

There are quite a few friendly cats (a bonus for me), and many beautiful birds. There are some beach items available to borrow during your stay too! We used the blender provided to make delicious smoothies from the many fruits provided to us and drank them in the morning from our lanai, absorbing the spectacular views of the farm and ocean. An amazing place to watch the sunset and night sky.

I do think it is important to note that there are some house rules (within reason), and nudity is allowed after dark. We are a bit shy and kept to ourselves. More power to the residents, just not our bag. Also there are no keys to your room. Living in a city has had an impact on my trust issues, but I noticed in Hawaii it is easier to relax on this and we had no issues with it. It may be an important factor for others to know.

Raybo was a wonderful host, always available to answer questions and help us find the good spots afforded by the Kona area. Everyone who lives here seems to have found what they were looking for, full of happiness. Thanks for a unique stay!
