Independent in Kona Coast from NZ$297

"Wonderful cottage in nice location. Very well maintained with all the amenities you need and superb attention to detail in the decor. The sounds of the coqui frogs at night took some getting used to but also made for a memorable experience."

"Property was well equipped, location great, especially for exploring northern parts of the island. Pool, hot tub and bbq facilities were wonderful. "

"Beautiful clean home! Super cozy with beautiful views! "

"Entire single family home in a quiet community. Access to nearby recreational center and pool. Great accommodations. Good for families and friends. Will gladly stay here again when visiting the Big Island! "

"Only negative/be-aware-of first: it can get hot and muggy in the afternoons. Don't leave the windows open hoping for a breeze, we figured out that leaving them shut after the early morning kept some of the overnight coolness in the house. We appreciated the super comfortable mattress and luxurious pillows and slept well here. We saved a lot of money on our trip by using their kitchen and their ice chest to pack lunches. It was nice that they provided your first day's coffee, sugar, oatmeal, some snack bars, beach towels, and washer/dryer. This place is not far from anything as the crow flies, but is way up the mountainside from the coast. The road to the house is in good condition (our little Toyota Corolla rental had no trouble), but can be a bit of a nail biter if you're not used to such steep roads that go straight up/down. We got used to it and would stay again, and the payoff is a lush semi-wild farmland surrounding you and a view down to the ocean below. "

"This place was cozy and definitely has an awesome view even from the bed. It was cloudy when we arrived, but the morning was gorgeous. Only wish we could have spent a little more time there and enjoyed the outdoor shower more thoroughly."

"It was quiet, clean, and the beds were comfortable. "

"This is a very nice place with a fantastic , bbq, pool and hot tub area. The place is comfortable and has everything you need. John has a great stock of snorkeling gear, water fun gear and everything you would need for the beach. He was very responsive and great to deal with. "
