Dean and Sherri have such a lovely place, which they've maintained so well and sparkling clean! It is an amazingly clever architecture which maximizes space and energy efficiency! It is unbelievably cool even in the mid summer Kona heat and you will never know how hot it is outside when you're there. Way better than having A/C!
I hope other home builders could take note of this nice architecture to emulate for energy efficiency and airiness. So nice and bright, it's almost like being outdoors. Although small, the space is so efficiently made and enough for two people, even with a lot of luggage and for a long stay, including remote working. It is very close to places in Kona. Due to the openness, there might be some noise issues in the morning for light sleepers but earplugs would help. Would take that over A/C any day!
We made good use of the lovely patio and bbq area. The check-in was so well organized and they were so nice and accommodating with our checkout and everything else.
Mahalo for a great stay! Would surely want to return.

This is not about the place, but a note for other visitors... I saw a lot of tourists troubling and harassing turtles, barely keeping even 2 feet distance for their phone photos (even a cheap zoom lens can take pics from farther than that!) and much worse, even throwing sand etc. at them at times! Bothering turtles is federal offense (heavily fineable!) and there are avenues to report such instances via the DLNR app. Hope visitors respect turtles and coral reefs, and leave without damaging them, packing reef-safe sunscreen, and keep Hawaii clean without littering along the beaches! One would think these are basics but it didn't seem like it!
