We were very pleased with our experience at the Red Ti Hale Cottages. For starters it's in a quiet spot on the island with an incredible view. We found the open air living in the gentle breezes of South Kona to be relaxing and pleasant. The cottage had everything we needed; Peter and Barbara very thoughtfully provided us with coffee, bagels and sweet papaya for our first morning, especially since we arrived late at night. They were always helpful without being intrusive. They provided us recommendations for local restaurants, coffee sources, farmers market (we actually found three farmers markets fairly close, all different, with different gems in each) and grocery stores, not to mention beaches that were uncrowded with plenty of fish if you are a snorkeler. The cottage has two guidebooks available which we also found very helpful. We will definitely come back! Mahalo!
