Mandy and JR were stellar hosts but the person that made our visit extra special was their adorable toddler! What a smart sweet little lady. I was also impressed at how quiet it was given there is a 3 1/2 year old downstairs. The chorus of birdsongs and wildlife in the morning were absolutely divine to wake up to!
The pictures do not do justice to the spectacular view. We also appreciated all of the thoughtful touches like huge coffee mugs with a coffee grinder and french press, etc. The bed was very comfortably conducive to the solace of a deep sleep every night.
Mandy and JR obviously put a lot of thought and care into their studio above the carport and it made our stay really special. Mandy gave us a lovely welcome and was available for tips on local spots to swim and rent surf boards. If she was home she asked about our day and made sure we were good with the accommodations.
The location is fabulous, 15 minutes from downtown Kona and the harbor, and about 30 minutes from snorkeling in Captain Cook.
We would definitely book with this great family again!
