Beautiful setting and a great value! We wanted a spot on the Hamakua Coast that was convenient to both the Kona and Hilo side of the island, and this fit the bill perfectly. The cottage itself is cozy, and plants and trees abound on the property. Having a laundry facility was extra helpful. Allowed us to pack light. Patricia was a gracious host, and overall we were very pleased. To be fair, I have to say the rural setting presented some surprises/challenges - the area is heavily populated with coqui frogs (nighttime noise is an issue that takes getting used to), the streets are narrow and very dark at night, and parking is tight. No showstoppers by any means, just something visitors should be aware of so you know in advance what you're getting into. Once known, these are minor issues, and you can enjoy the property for what it does offer: convenience, seclusion and at a great price!
