We loved our stay in Mele's cottage! The place truly is charming - stylishly decorated (the custom- built ceiling piece makes quite the impression as you enter), it's high above the hustle and bustle of touristy Kona, very private, quiet (the only thing you can hear is the coqui song) and cool in the evenings. Communication with Mele and check in was great. Perfect for a couple on vacation! Would definitely stay there again if given the chance.
