South Kona Country Home is a peaceful home away from home. You can only see one roof from the back deck, so it feels very private & isolated. However neighbors were close enough to check on us in a heavy rain, and help us with garbage on the way out of town!

House is far enough down in South Kona that it is fairly rural. Stores are a ways out. Garbage is not collected on site, and needs to be dropped off at the dump station (easy enough to do, we just had cars full of luggage upon departure, so very friendly neighbor offered to take our garbage on his next trip).

Water for the house is on a catchment system, so conservation is of the essence. We came from California (currently having our 5th year of drought), so conserving was not hard. Plus it was rainy season, so there was plenty of water while we were there!

Deck is lovely, and truly the most inviting part of the house. The rest of the house is nice and comfortable, but the outdoors beckon when your in Hawaii! House is comfortable. Fans in all bedrooms. Kitchen is well equipped and has most everything you could need. I wish we would have stopped by the house before shopping, because there was quite a bit of groceries (that seemed to be from previous visitors). We ended up leaving some groceries like previous visitors did. It's Hawaii so there are bugs, gecko's etc. so keeping doors & window screens shut is critical for your own comfort!

Lovely! Comfortable! Hawaii country life!
