My sister, cousin and I stayed for 2 nights and had a lovely time! The house is about 45min from Kailua-Kona and around 20 minutes from the shops in Captain Cook, so make sure you have a plan for meals should you arrive at an odd time. There are plenty of fruit stands, cafes, coffee shops, and grocery stores as you drive along the beautiful, winding coast. Lena provided Keurig cups, tea, and some wonderful chocolates. The kitchen has just about everything one could need, but it does not have an oven. This was fine for our purposes, but don’t plan to cook a Cornish hen or anything too involved!
Lena’s place was tidy, with freshly cleaned sheets and blankets. It was so comforting! She even allowed us to do laundry. Her WiFi connection was speedy and reliable, allowing my cousin to complete work on her computer.
We explored several beaches in the area, just ask Lena or locals in town for a recommendation. While there is not direct beach access from the house, there is a stunning view of the water and sunset.
Overall Lena was a kind and accommodating host! The home was clean and uniquely beautiful!
