The Romantic Private Forest Guest House is every bit of the secluded rainforest bungalow you expect to find buried in the jungle without sacrificing well-paved roads or convenient luxury of Kona. On the outside, it's everything you want: breathtaking, colorful, warm, well-furnished and landscaped, inviting--romantic. Once you step inside, however, you lose a bit of the charm the natural surroundings lend to the place. This is particularly true at night, when you'll undoubtedly hear the rainforest before you see it.
While comfortable, I wouldn't say homey. The interior of the home is essentially one large room with walls dividing the bathroom and bedroom spaces from the main living area. No closed ceiling or solid doors here (there are shuttered ones between the bathroom). You'll be able to hear nature calls inside as easily as you will outside.
A single leather couch with some pillows in the living area and a few 'mood lighting' décor pieces will create the idea of warmth without actually living up to it. A nice warm/fuzzy rug and some blankets would certainly make it more of a place to cozy up once you're back from the day's activities. Bathroom is great and features a great shower. The bedroom is by far the most romantic room of the house (go figure) and features a walkout porch with a wonderful rainforest view in the mornings. (We loved drinking coffee out here!)
A single ceiling fan will try to keep you cool and dry, but otherwise you might get a bit warm. Also be prepared for your clothes/bathing suits to be a tad damp the following day after spending time at the beaches; being in the middle of a rainforest staying dry is hard to come by. The dehumidifier under the tv cabinet was a nice touch to help remove some of the moisture, but a tower fan or two would greatly help both in drying and keeping you cool during the night.
Overall, a wonderful place to stay if you're spending more time out on the town than time relaxing indoors. Spotless interior, great host that communicates quickly, a great selection of items for use at the beach (snorkeling gear, beach towels, soft cooler, beach umbrella (was a life saver!)), and amazing location--this place represents every bit of the Hawaiian style you expect, if not the overtly warm, romantic type you were hoping for.
