Immaculately clean, beautiful and well-constructed floor plan, and amazing, gracious hosts. The views from Donna's Kona Coffee Vacation Rental are much better than the pictures. Wonderful sunsets can be viewed from large windows in the bedroom, the kitchen, and from the wonderful gazebo adjacent to the private driveway. The lanai faces uphill towards the sunrise, so it does not have a direct sunset view. But the lanai is surrounded by beautiful flowering plants and landscaping. We enjoyed very peaceful breakfasts there each morning. While not entirely "secluded", this place is very private. There is gated access, a very private driveway through Donna and Robbie's private coffee farm, and a private, personal parking space. The nearest neighbor is 125' away, but the building layout and beautiful landscaping are arranged such that you cannot see then, and have complete privacy. In all other directions, there is only woods and coffee farm.
The personal visit from Robbie when we arrived really helped us feel comfortable and at home. The way the cabin arrangement is perfect. I found it to be more beautiful than I imagined from the pictures. The sunset views are beautiful from the kitchen, from the bedroom window, and of course from the gazebo. I really liked the multi-position charger near the TV. Both Robbie and Donna provided us personal advice about how to drive around, how to see the sunset from Mauna Kea (it was spectacular!), favorite beaches - all of it was exactly what we needed. They met us for the short conversations in the driveway - It is so much more meaningful and helpful when we got to dialogue with each of them. Their private coffee is amazing. Being coffee lovers, we appreciated the french press coffee pot and grinder. Access to washing machine and drier was very helpful, and the solid Wi-Fi connection was very helpful. Donna and Robbie are both wonderful hosts. I expect we might be returning sometime. I "caught the bug" for the Big Island. :-) Regarding the cabin itself, I would only add that we felt the sunset views were "undersold" compared to other Air B&B postings. We found the view to be sublime. A truly wonderful place with wonderful, responsive hosts.
