Love love love this place! I could go on for hours.
The house is so airy & full of light. The upstairs bedroom took my breath away: it is huge, & the views are gorgeous. Everything was clean, comfortable & well equipped with everything we needed. (Wifi was flawless, for those who can't do without!)
The gardens are spectacular - we loved exploring all the secret little nooks & crannies. So much thought & work has clearly gone into everything. We loved watching dozens of little green lizards catching bugs & the afternoon sun along the bamboo screen outside the kitchen window!
The hot tub/pool & lanai area at the top of the property are HEAVEN. We spent hours up there, splashing about & just taking in the views & sunsets.
We had the pleasure of meeting Ray, the manager, who dropped off some coffee grown on site.
Tips: stop off in Kona on your way up for groceries. Bring ear plugs if you are bothered by noise at night. The property is right above the highway. Personally, we loved the frogs & roosters & actually missed them at other places we stayed at. Yes, there are a few bugs, but if you take precautions, they are really not a problem.
Thank you, Alissa & Derek (& Ray!), for the perfect start to our holiday.
