The property is located in the hills a few miles from Kailua-Kona. It is close enough for easy access to restaurants, etc., but has a very quiet, rural vibe. There is abundant vegetation, and one can imagine what Kona was like decades ago. The place was very comfortable. Noise level was high, but that was fine since the noise came from birds, crickets, and frogs! Nice additional touches were the ice chest, beach towels, and beach mats provided for our use. While the listing indicates a whole house, the place is more like a separate attached suite with bedroom, bath, kitchenette, and sitting room. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Real cooking is not practical, but we were more interested in sampling the wide range of cuisines in Kailua-Kona. It was nice to have a private entrance, so we could come and go easily. We had a great stay.
