Rachelle was great to work with. She was always responsive and the house had everything we needed! My husband and I stayed for 16 days, so we had ample time to really settle into the house. The kitchen had everything we needed for many homemade meals and we appreciated the beach towels and washer so that we didn't have to pack even more. The view was lovely and the lanai was very private and cozy. We had some rain, but the lanai was amazing for this since it had a tin-roof sound and it was still warm out (that doesn't happen in Seattle ;)). Overall, it is a great location if you like to get away from the touristy areas, but still close to Kona. There was a previous comment made by a former tenant before us regarding the roosters. The only thing my husband and I suggest is to expect them, and know that it is not just a morning thing--sleeping with the windows shut and using the air condition was what saved us. We come from a very quiet area, so we had to drown it out. However, once we did that, we literally had no more problems. To stay up where the house is, you have to accept the bird life :) We loved our stay and would love to go back and stay in the same place. We highly recommend this to couples who are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway!
