We loved the cabin, found it charming and unique with everything we needed - beach equipment, beach towels, coffee grinder, wonderful hot tub. It was a different world at the cabin from down at the coast, 10 degrees cooler and more damp up there, so we were glad of sweatpants and sweaters for our time there, as well as the wood burning stove. Would recommend being prepared with both typical Hawaii vacation wear and something warmer. We might have been unlucky with the rain. We hiked the Ooma trail which is 5 minutes drive away - very lush and shady - got caught in a downpour! It’s only 15 to 20 minutes drive down the hill to get to Kailua Kona where we stocked up on fresh fish for the grill most evenings - at KTA Super Stores. Our favorite beach was Kua Bay - just beautiful. We also walked to Thunder Mountain Coffee farm up Hao St - 20 minute walk. Excellent Kona coffee there. Greenwell Coffee farm and the Kona Coffee Living History Museum (about 40 min drive) were also very much worth a visit. Our hosts were fantastic, welcoming and responsive but left us to ourselves and it felt very private at the cabin.
