We really enjoyed staying here, but it’s got its quirks. I’ve let Khoa know privately of some suggested improvements, so I’ll just say that the cost for this place is accurate. Like other guests, we really enjoyed the lanai and watching the spectacular sunsets every night. Having AC in the bedrooms was much appreciated, but we also enjoyed the cooler temps at this higher elevation and the cool breezes in the evening. Stores and casual dining are nearby. We recommend Matsuyama’s food mart at the top of the street, Minit Mart for fried chicken, and Pine Tree Cafe for good local food. The latter 2 are on the highway leading in to Kailua-Kona. We didn’t use Khoa’s kitchen, although he said we could. Laundry on premises. I loved the birds we saw and heard: all non-native, but still fun… cardinals, Java sparrows, saffron finches, mynahs, and the crazy loud honking francolins (daylight hours only). Watch out for feral goats as you drive along any of the Big Island’s highways! We would definitely stay here again.
