Ossian and Brittany are lovely hosts. The cottage was just perfect for us: 10 Minutes away from Kailua-Kona and all the restaurants, shops and the beach, but at the same time extremely quiet and tranquil as it is surrounded by gardens and pasture. Big plus: It is located in the heights of Kailua-Kona, meaning it gets nice and chilly at night, so no AC needed. We had a kitchenette with a huge freezer, a comfy sitting area and a pleasant bedroom with ensuite bathroom. There was WIFI and laundry available. All in all for us it was a perfect base for exploring the West side of Big Island. Nothing is too far away, just ideal. I can't think of any down sides except we should have stayed longer...
