This was an absolutely amazing place to stay. The hosts are incredible and provide so many unique touches of hospitality that we felt both spoiled and also at home. The farm is beautiful and filled with kind people, two adorable sleepy farm cats, and even a sweet farm dog. The apartment was far better and larger than appeared (to me) in pictures and we were very impressed. The views are amazing and we woke up every morning to sunrise and coffee on the deck. We slept to the chirping sounds of nature and a natural coolness to the air that comes from the slight increase in elevation.
For us, the location was perfect. We were just up the hill from Captain Cook, which has incredibly snorkeling, great local beach spots, good eats, and spinning dolphins in the bay. A bit further (20-40mins) is the Kona action, but that was perfectly close for us. It is also conveniently only an hour from South Point, so it’s a bit in the middle of everything West-side. Being in the hills offered us privacy and a sense of being in a tropical hillside retreat, while also remaining close to things. We were provided with beach towels and they have some coolers and lunch bags to go!
Some things to note: the roosters can be heard sometimes on the morning, as well as barking neighborhood dogs. It didn’t bother us, as we were often up early and ready to go, but it might bother others. Plus, I love waking up to roosters. Also, the kitchen is a bit small, but suited us for basic meals and food storage. None of these should be deterrents of staying here and I would recommend this place over and over again.
From location to the hosts to the caring touches and the comfortable and beautiful space, this is the place to stay!
