The Kealakekua Cottage was absolutely delightful! We stayed here for 3 nights but could have been for longer. We loved the privacy of the cottage yet felt it was accessible to any area we wanted to go to. Easy drive down from Kona, very close to a grocery store and coffee cafes, and right next to the hike down to Captain Cook Monument (great snorkeling there - would highly recommend kayaking it instead of the hike). Peter was incredibly nice. Very helpful with any questions we had and he would give us bananas and the most delicious avocado - we love avocados! The kitchen was well stocked with anything we would need and we cooked nearly every meal there. Sitting out on the yoga deck with our morning coffee, a book and that breathtaking view was a very relaxing way to start our day. For dinner we would eat on the kitchen deck with the light of a tiki torch and no sound but the crickets. We loved watching the adorable lizards everywhere too. The outdoor shower was lovely and everything was so clean. The only thing to note is from the bed you can hear some of what's happening in the main house kitchen. One morning we were woken up by their coffee grinder, although then we went to make our own coffee to start the beautiful morning. We would definitely stay here again! :)
