A peaceful escape from the crowds, just minutes from Kona by car, offering an unobstructed bird's-eye view of the breathtaking Big Island sunset. The lanai / front porch provides ample space for a dinner overlooking the world; the well-appointed, spotlessly-clean studio has all the comforts, including a small kitchen, wonderful shower, and excellent bed. We enjoyed meeting and chatting with our friendly host Roberta, who lives right next door. But the cottage is completely private, and we fell asleep, inhabitants of a cloud forest, to a chorus of coqui frogs.
