This is a clean and well-appointed (beach towels, great kitchen, and great laundry access) space. The open floor plan and abundance of windows made us feel like we were part of the outdoors. There are many special spaces on the property to discover, so make "hanging out" there a priority!

The plantation is on a wonderful corridor that includes many coffe farms, a cool cemetary, and an artists village. The coffee shop in the village has great service and wonderful homemade baked goods and organic items.

The home is not occupied, which we appreciated. Though Alissa and Derek made an initial contact and provided many great suggestions for activities in advance of our arrival, we were pretty much on our own to explore.

Do realize that the home is up in the hills, about 10 minutes from downtown Kona. If you are wanting beachfront, look elsewhere. This home is surrounded by lush plants and has a tremendous view!
