What a treat to wake up and look at that amazing view from the lanai! Jim is a top-notch host and just all-around nice guy. He was really accommodating and brought us breakfast every morning. The house is off-grid but it has all the amenities (like hot water, laundry & a flushing toilet) that any house would. A couple things to be aware of: 1) there is a fairly steep flight of stairs to get up to the room. 2) It is a good 50 mins to get into the heart of Kona from the house. And really, both of those points also mean an absolutely gorgeous landscape and view with lots of peace and an abundance of stars at night! We were extremely happy with our stay here. Thanks again!!
