The only word that accurately describes the week we spent at the Bali cottage is "magical." Ron and Karen's one-of-a-kind beach house made the perfect setting for our romantic getaway and our engagement! The place itself is decorated floor to ceiling with fascinating antique treasures, giving it a mystical charm unmatched by your average BNB. As the cottage is nestled right on the coastal bay, visitors can enjoy the constant calming soundtrack of ocean waves and awe-inspiring views at sunset. But the hosts are what truly made our experience special. Ron and Karen have a gift for hospitality -- we felt right at home with them immediately. As residents of the big island for nearly two decades, they offer great tips for sightseeing around the island. They provide an awesome experience right down to every detail -- from offering champagne on our engagement night to bringing chocolate-covered acai berries for us to taste. They are available for whatever you need, but know just when to leave you to enjoy the quiet isolation of Kealakekua Bay.
We will definitely be returning to the Bali cottage and we are eternally grateful for this unforgettable experience. If you do decide to visit, make sure you spend some quality time with Purry the cat, whose porch visits we looked forward to every night.
