This home is in a stunning location and it's a little slice of private heaven. If you don't want to feel like a tourist, you'll especially appreciate this spot! We felt more like locals hangin' at home even though Kona with its many wonderful restaurants and markets is less than ten minutes away. All the house photos on this website are very accurate. The location is also central for exploring other parts of the island, but the relaxing lanai, vintage decor and insane views made it hard to leave the house! (There is noise from the road so if you're a light sleeper, pack some earplugs. ) As soon as our plane landed, I received a welcome message from Heidi--who besides being a local mermaid helps manage the property, and she was very helpful and communicative. What a treat to stay here! Mahalo!
