Jillian's place is one of a kind! This is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. A quiet cottage away from the big tourist areas of Kona and closer to beaches than Volcano and still close enough to visit all the cool spots. Jillian even gave us some inside tips on some secret local hangouts :) If you have time definitely ask her about swimming with wild dolphins - worth every moment and the highlight of our entire Hawaiian island adventure.
