Can a review simply be "SPEECHLESS" ??? The pictures were beyond accurate and everything far exceeded any expectation we might have had. The privacy, the view of the ocean, the pool, the vibe, and even the unique layout of the house suited our family of 3 (with 13 year old daughter) perfectly! It's across the road from a beautiful, popular snorkeling reef and surfing spot... then a 2 minute walk up a little roadway into your own private paradise -- filled with a variety of amazing trees, birds, plants and walls of stones stacked one by one.
This house is not just a place to stay while you are on vacation, this house becomes a PART of your vacation... and your memories.
Jaima is the most delightful host!!! Responsive, friendly, helpful and genuine. The house is stocked with everything you need... and I do mean everything. All of the normal household items one would expect at a guest house... and so much more. Scotch tape? Pink Himalayan sea salt? Hammer? Check. Guide books and books of all kinds. Beach gear, boogie boards, snorkeling masks, pool toys... the list goes on and on.
We have been back home in Seattle for a week. My heart remains in Kona and my body will be back to join it in time. That time will most definitely be based upon availability of this house! If you've read this far, stop and book it now. YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! (pinky swear)
When I was researching where to stay earlier this year, I read a comment -- or rather a statement -- from another reviewer who said what I just said above, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, STOP AND BOOK IT NOW. YOU WON'T BE SORRY. I stopped reading and did exactly what he wrote.
Thank you to the man who said it, thank you to me for trusting the process. I am most definitely not sorry. The place is beyond fabulous and Jaima is a stellar host!!!
