The grounds are amazing. Beautiful property and very well cared-for. We spent several evenings watching the sunset from the upper pavilion and enjoying the (unexpectedly large) hot tub. I don't know when peak coffee harvesting season is, but we felt that we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. The house on the lower pavilion is comfortable and roomy. We cooked several nights and found everything we needed in the kitchen.

Finding the house was easy (thanks, GPS) and Ray was easygoing and helpful. Alissa recommended several local spots that were awesome. We especially liked Daylight Mind (in downtown Kona) and the Holuakoa Cafe right down the road.

Definitely would stay again. Better than expected, and the pictures got our expectations up pretty high.

Two things to prepare for: 1, there are roosters around, and they crow early in the morning. There are ear-plugs in the house. 2, the property is 15ish minutes from downtown. We structured days so we didn't make a trip down just to go to the store, and there are closer (smaller) stores to the property, but it takes a little planning. Still, all worth it. Feels totally removed from touristy parts of Kona and very relaxing.
