Karen and Chad's cottage was the perfect private getaway for us while still being convenient to the Kailua Kona shops and restaurants. The space was great for me and my partner, where we spent a few days exploring the island and a couple days working from the cottage. The kitchen was very well appointed for a few home-cooked meals, and the hot tub was an amazing way to unwind each night. You'll get a great view over the treetops to the ocean, where we saw a fantastic sunset on our first night. The hosts were very responsive and accommodated our late check-out, and even brought us a fresh (and enormous) avocado from their property on our arrival!
The reviews about the loud frogs at night are accurate, but we actually enjoyed falling asleep to the sounds of nature. If you need absolute silence to fall asleep though, this might not be for you.
