James & Flora were the best hosts you could ask for - extremely warm and welcoming, and incredibly accommodating! Every morning we were greeted with fresh coffee from James' crop and fruits and croissants galore. The ohana itself is idyllic. Set back high up above the coast, the evenings were nice and cool (at least 10 degrees cooler than down by the water) and we were serenaded to sleep and greeted in the morning by the sound of chirping frogs, geckos, and birds. It may not be in the heart of the bustling town of Kona, but it's well worth the short 7 minute commute into town to have a quiet retreat awaiting us at the end of the day. The deck that connects the ohana with the main house was perfect for grilling and eating at night or even during the day, and James & Flora were more than willing to share their kitchen with us so we could take advantage of cooking on the grill. It's not the plush, cushy, air-conditioned hotel room you'll get for twice or three times the price, but the benefits of a quiet retreat and affordability far exceed the luxury of a hotel. Added bonus: if you like cats, you will have a chance to befriend one (or all) of their 4 cats.
