We really enjoyed staying at this snug little cottage on the slopes above Kailua-Kona. Although we didn't get to meet Mele & Paulo, as they were out of town, check-in and check-out were easy, and we appreciated the many nice small touches they made to the place. You can expect it to be a little chilly at night, but the bed is very warm and comfortable. The small lanai is great for eating breakfast or having a nightcap. Great 'home base' for exploring the west coast of Big Island -- we would definitely stay here again!
