Karen and Ron have such a special place! We spent 6 days there and wish we had another week to enjoy our stay at this amazing little piece of heaven. Karen and Ron are wonderful hosts- so very helpful and friendly with lots of great recommendations. This cottage is definitely off the beaten path and not necessarily for everyone - it is a true escape from the busy resorts in Kona with a great Hawaiian feel - away from crowds, no tv (but there is wifi) and no a/c; outdoor shower (AMAZING) but friendly geckos and beautiful sounds of nature. We ate most of our meals there as we never wanted to leave the cottage or Manini Beach. I hope we can return again!
