Built into the Landscape, Beautiful

"This is an extraordinary place, beautifully nestled at the top of a narrow tree-lined road, designed to blend into the landscape. It's high, and the view of the sea is grand. Well appointed, with a salt-water pool and very nice communal areas. We stayed only one night, a stopover between Kona airport and the drive to Hilo. We left thinking we would like to stay again, perhaps stay two nights. Lovely hosts. "

5/5 Excellent

"Host of the property Annia was amazing. She sent us itineraries of all kinds of stuff to do, and let us know the better ones to do, and beaches to go. Her property was clean and ready early. We were able to rent a vehicle on site easily and quick. All around an amazing find, and look forward to go back to her place again."

Perfect stay

"Pictures don’t do it justice- this house is stunning inside and out- The everyday sunset is magical- my teenage girls had an opportunity to take amazing portraits…. The neighborhood gave my husband and I an opportunity to do our morning hikes every day. Great place to stay. Close enough to it all but far enough to enjoy peace and quiet."
