I stayed for 10 days at the Crow's Nest and really enjoyed the space. I spent more time there than I thought I would because I was able to enjoy the outside while being indoors! I am super tasty to mosquitoes so definitely needed to wear insect repellant when hanging out on the porch. The house is the perfect distance to the black pebble beach - just enough of a workout walking back up the hill without being so tough that you don't want to do it again (you can also drive down if it's too much). It is rocky getting down to the beach itself & is amazing for watching the sunset. You are a solid 45 minutes to an hour from Kona, which is a beautiful (but winding drive). I have pretty bad motion sickness so had to take Dramamine before I drove. Communication with Roslyn & her co-hosts who are next door was great. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements & the rooms are all spacious & have what you need to make yourself at home. The bed was comfortable & there are plenty of pillows & blankets (though I doubt you'll need these given the heat!). It is a fun & unique place to stay!
