The house was amazing, the location even better than we expected. We walked to Manini Beach every morning with our cup of coffee.The hostess, Elizabeth, was so thoughtful to have a huge fruit basket waiting for us. The beds were all so comfortable and we loved the covered patio for hanging out together and eating at the lazy susan table. It worked great for playing Scrabble! The beauty of the grounds and the house more than made up for having to hear roosters!

This is a wonderful place and Elizabeth is very friendly and helpful. Steps from amazing snorkeling and a short drive to the place of refuge and two step. Easy drive up to Kona for nightlife if you’re interested. Kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms are comfortable. Gets hot if there is no breeze but that’s pretty rare and you can always cool off in K Bay!
