We really enjoyed our stay at the Bay Cottage. Peter was an incredible host, providing excellent recommendations to local attractions away from the crowds, as well as access to snorkeling equipment. The environment that Peter and Barbara have created is the perfect balance of tropical charm and modern amenities. The place itself was well-kitted out, making this a pretty ideal base to explore the environs around Kona. As an added bonus, lilikoi (passionfruit to us mainlanders) are abundant, a great way to start any day. While a little out of the way, the result is a genuinely peaceful site that provides a great place for rest and relaxation. Highly recommended if you want something more personalized and self directed than the hotel-based vacation.
