Jessica's Kona Coffee Cottage is a peaceful, refreshing retreat in the hills above Kona. The cottage has a window seat where you can watch the birds or the stars, and a nice outside seating area with a view of the hillside.
When we arrived Jessica brought us fresh homemade appetizers and ice cream with the most delicious lilikoi (passionfruit) sauce I have ever tasted. Knowing how much I enjoyed it, she brought us more the next day!
It's a quick five minute drive to Holualoa, a charming community with a great cafe and a few shops. It takes 15 minutes or so to get down to the beaches and restaurants in Kona. Meanwhile, the cooler temperatures up in coffee country make it easy to sleep well at night.
