Lisa's cottage was a perfect spot for our eight day stay in Kona. Only 10 minute drive to downtown Kona and the beaches, and about 30 min drive to Two Step, the famed snorkeling spot. Just a great location for pretty much anything. Plus you get the benefit of being away from the hubbub of downtown Kona in the night. The drive is very easy and pleasant from the cottage to downtown Kona. You are only 5 min drive from a super charming coffee shop that also serves great food and snacks. The cottage itself is beautiful. Peaceful and wonderfully arranged. It is a free standing cottage, not attached to the main house, meaning you get tons of privacy. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. There are two lanais. One covered, attached to the cottage, and one in front of the cottage surrounded with tropical plants, tropical fruit trees, and frequently visited by two adorable hens. Lisa provides beach towels, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs. It comes really handy. The view of the ocean from the front yard is breathtaking. Sunsets are incredible to watch from that spot. Lisa is so lovely. We briefly met with her upon our arrival. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, private place with amazing views, close to town, this is it.
