The cottage was perfect for my stay on the Big Island. It is a very peaceful and beautiful place. The view was amazing overlooking the Bay, perfect place for tropical breezes and sunsets. The Captain Cook area is rural but only about 15-20 minutes away from downtown Kona. The cottage is only 2 miles from good restaurants, nice beaches and great snorkeling. Peter is a wonderful and helpful host who made me feel very welcome, bringing me fresh fruit from his lovely garden and providing a binder full of local places to visit. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a nice store nearby for groceries. I would highly recommended the cottage here, I stayed for seven days and would definitely go back. I only wish I could have stayed for another week, there is so much to see and do on the Big Island. The cottage feels like a retreat and I left feeling rested and renewed.
