Debi and Bob's cottage was the PERFECT jumping-off point for our stay on the Big Island. Right smack in the middle of Kona with easy access to beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. But it's also far enough up the hill (mauka) and set on a private 5 acre property that you feel like you've got your own little secluded vacation hideaway. Great view of the ocean on the horizon, fabulous sunsets. The lap pool is great and if it had been summer we probably would've used it more :)

The cottage was adorable and fully stocked with needed sundries. The washer/dryer really helped us pack light too. The doggies on the property (labs and labradoodles) are super friendly and sweet. Debi and Bob were also super gracious and gave us fresh fruit from the property and fresh eggs from their hens - and sent us home with some Kona coffee too! I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our vacation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
