We enjoyed staying at Dena's farm and especially the ocean views from the lanai while having breakfasts. We unexpectedly extended our trip and were looking for a budget friendly place to stay and this place did the job. The house being off-grid wasn't a problem, although the water pump is making noises whenever someone is opening water/ flushing toilet etc. The kitchen is great and updated. Captain Cook location is beautiful and not too far from Kona as well as the south part of the Island.
Main points to be aware of and prepared to make sure you enjoy your stay are:
- The main house bedroom has no doors and the house is more like a studio
- The second, tree house bedroom has no sound insulation, and the roosters can start singing early (3.50am was the earliest we heard them)
Overall, I would definitely recommend Dena's place for those who enjoy being close to nature and are happy with the space she offers.
