My Stay
This property was so easy to find and the owner was there to greet me, her accommodations were perfect for my needs. The bed was sooo comfortable. The living area, shower, bathroom and kitchenette had all the appliances needed. The history of this quant coffee plantation home, gave it wonderful warm feel. I completely enjoyed my stay. Thank you!

Island Oasis
This was the best place! It's a great location. You're surrounded by beautiful plants and have wonderful sky views. It had everything me and my husband needed to decompress and get away! Evie is wonderful. She's attentive and very helpful! And who can forget Captain Fred the cute cat, who was very friendly and would visit multiple times a day to cuddle and say hello. Will definitely be staying here again!

This property was our favorite of our stays in hawaii! it’s definitely a unique experience but we were very comfortable and Evie was so kind and helpful. she even brought us fresh avocados and sparkling cider! friendly cat named Captain Fred kept us company for the majority of our stay. while there isn’t a full kitchen, there’s a plug in induction burner that was helpful. i would recommend getting groceries while in Kailua Kona or a larger city, as the choice mart store in captain cook was ridiculously expensive. overall though, this property was tucked away in a peaceful town, near some perfect snorkeling beaches, and we had a relaxing stay.

Great authentic feel.
We enjoyed our stay here. Everything just as pictured. We enjoyed the outdoor shower & kitchen area. Made it feel different than other places and like we were livin local. We based out of here and spent one day in Kailua, one in captain cook area and one day exploring the Kohala coast. Then once we checked out, we went south. Felt like it was a good place to base out of. Evie was so kind she even gave us oranges from her orange tree and an avocado from her tree.

My wife and I really enjoyed this bungalow and the openness of the living spaces. A perfect layout for Kona. We found the best snorkeling at "Two Step" beach which was only 15 mins away. We were also able to walk to the start of the "Captain Cook" trail head. Small town/local grocery stores were great as well as the To Go restaurants. 100 years ago the site used to be a Kona Coffee plantation and the building was apart of the the original complex. Very tropical environment.

This place was so perfect for us to have a place to be while we explored the island and mostly the 3 bays that we love in the area. Evie was wonderful, the place was immaculate, and we had everything we needed. She was thoughtful and even dropped umbrellas on our porch when the rain started. We’ll be back. Thank you!

Very Accommodating
Hawaiian cottage had interesting history and has nice vibe. Friendly owners and surroundings. Only issue was the dogs at the rental property and neighbot's dogs we're "somewhat" noisy and I am talking~several dogs. Cottage could use some provisions and condiments. Such as: coffee, salt&pepper, etc.

Indoor-Outdoor living at superb location
This is a lovely cabin that merges outdoor and indoor living. Loved having the breezy kitchen and shower, while keeping all the privacy. The balcony provided beautiful sunsets at dinner time. Evie has everything that you may need, even after sun moisturizer. As a plus, you are so close to Kona and highways, but in a peaceful location. Walking distance to best snorkeling in Hawai'i.
