The cottage was a perfect little place just about 10 minutes away from downtown Kona in a neighborhood up on the hill. It was well stocked with all the essentials for a family. The host was very responsive when we had some minor needs. They have a great visitors guide with suggestions of things to do in the area. As mentioned in their description, there are roosters that crow all hours of the night and frogs croaking as well. If you have difficulty sleeping this may not be the best place for you. The host provided earplugs, if you don't have any, so it helps to mitigate the issue, but some people have difficulty sleeping with earplugs.
