First of all, it is exactly as pictured. Beyond lovely setting on a small country farm high in the hills with a beautiful view. There were so many wonderful extras like the carafe of coffee the first morning and the bag of beans they provided. Before we left, Randy and Atsumi roasted beans just for us and showed us the whole process. Another nice suprise was the upgraded sofa bed for our daughter done just before our stay. They also let her use the papaya basket and she was able to pick a papaya for our breakfast. Atsumi also cut us fresh apple bananas. The pool and hottub was perfect and it was so amazing to have that luxury all to ourselves!!!
The sounds of the local birds and the stars at night were so peaceful. Randy and Atsumi were immediately available for any questions or needs and I loved the well stocked unit for laundry and we even marinated and grilled local giant kauai shrimp using Ingredients in the fridge and cupboard!!
We will definitely return ASAP and this is our new favorite escape. Usually we stay on Ali’i Drive but the short drive up off the highway (5 min up the holualoa upper highway) was well worth the peaceful getaway all to ourselves! The first time at night was a tiny challenge but by the next couple of nights it was a breeze for me to navigate the short trip up and down to Kailua Kona. Every night almost we still decided to go into town for the sunset or dinner it one night I simply ordered Togo food from the outback and it seemed just as quick as at home.
