Kim and Peter are such gracious and thoughtful hosts! They were happy to share tips and ideas for places to eat, hike, swim and explore. The space is the ground floor of their home which looks out onto a beautifully manicured yard and is full of the sights and sounds of nature, complete with chickens and the song of frogs at night. Despite being on the ground floor of the home, the hosts were respectful of our privacy and although Kim was out most days in the yard with her kids, we still felt we had plenty of privacy. The apartment had everything my partner and I needed for a 10 day stay and the little hot plate and toaster oven allowed us to do a decent amount of cooking with a lovely spot to dine looking out onto the yard. It's close to Kona and centrally located for day trips around the island and far enough up and away from the coast to be cool and comfortable. No A/C required! Can't recommend this spot enough!!
