Wonderful 2 bedroom home in a tropical paradise. Great showers and bathrooms with great water pressure, towels and shampoos, etc… Comfortable king beds in both rooms. Big kitchen and open living room area. Good wi-fi. Lovely view of the farm, plants and ocean in the background from the front porch. House had windows open in all rooms with fans and we didn’t miss A/C. Was nice and cool in the evenings with the fans. The hostess Krista was responsive and very easy to communicate with. She gave us a tour of the organic farm and was easy going. We loved staying in a less touristy area yet still easy access with our rental car to get anywhere on the island and the tourist areas within 10-20 depending on where we wanted to go. The access road to the house is EASY in our jeep and for any car (normal pavement with some speed bumps). We traveled the whole Island on our own and enjoyed coming back to this tranquil place daily. Missing the cute adoptable farm cat that was outside and enjoyed her cuddles on the porch in the morning with my coffee. Thanks again!!
The property was lovely, and well described. They weren't kidding about the road to it being a challenge - super bumpy and on a slope - just go slow! Being in the jungle, there are lots of bugs, and the window screens need to be replaced! You need to keep the windows open to stay cool, and several screens are bent and have gaps. The cooking utensils are minimal. Otherwise, this is a great place to stay in a quiet neighborhood.
The house has a very comfortable layout, with (mostly) screened windows to catch the breeze and cool off at night. The pictures don't do justice to the spaciousness of the common areas. Although we could see the farm and workers from the property, we didn't hear anything and enjoyed the privacy provided by the beautiful plants and slope of the properties. The welcome basket of fruit was wonderful! Coffee and equipment provided, too, but nothing for pour-over. The host was very responsive, however, the broken microwave was not fixed while we were there. Very clean all over, except for the fridge.Be ready to navigate some serious potholes and drive slowly in case of oncoming traffic. The isolated paradise feel of the property is worth the drive! Excellent beaches, attractions and food places very nearby. We would stay here again.
Loves staying in the farm! Peaceful location with the lots of birds, pigs, cats and chickens! House was just as described and the host was very communicative especially about the steep road down to the house. Thanks Krista.
The tropical plants , porches , sea view, geckos and airy breezy , open spaces . Nice artwork sprinkled throughout. Comfy and clean
Secluded, rustic farmhouse is a comfortable place to rest away from the hubbub of Kona, but with easy access when you want to head into the resort area. Might be just the ticket for a couple with planned hikes and other activities
We (42M, 39F) came for a long weekend trip to celebrate my husband's birthday with our son (11y). I really enjoyed this property and can confidently recommend it!
LOCATION: Great if you're looking for a quiet, peaceful place away from it all with an awesome view of the ocean from the living room! There's convenience stores just a couple minutes from the property for any last minute things. It's ~20ish minute drive to all the Kailua-Kona attractions.
ARRIVAL: If you can, arrive during the daylight hours! The property is located down a narrow and winding road (but easily drivable if you go slow) on a secluded area of an active farm. Very easy to find during the day, but the road is dark and the house may be difficult to find for the first time if you're arriving in the evening. For your safety, best to arrive during the day and you won't have any problem!
PARKING: There's adequate parking right in front of the house for two or three cars. We rented a crew-cab pickup truck had no problems maneuvering in and out.
HOUSE: What a well-maintained home!! I loved the wood floors! And my tall husband and son really appreciate the Cal-King beds!! There's more than adequate space in each of the bedrooms, the bathrooms each have a full shower and tub, the kitchen is a good size with everything you would need, and there's good space in the dining room with an adjacent comfy living room. The deck and patio are spacious and relaxing with all of the surrounding greenery. There is a washer
Quiet, lovely property in coffee country. Fell asleep to the Hawaiian breeze and sound of frogs every night.
Loved this quiet, peaceful house on a farm in Kealakekua. We only stayed 3 days here as we wanted to experience different parts of the island, but I would have gladly stayed here the entire week. Krista was a great host, the house was clean, comfortable, roomy, and well-appointed. Would definitely stay here again!
This modern farmhouse in Kealakekua was a perfect place to stay for our first visit to the Big Island. When we arrived the house was very clean and the host was very quick to answer any questions we had about the house and the local area. The house is nestled in a very peaceful grove, down a bumpy road from the main highway. It feels like you're way out in the country, but it has easy access to many activities and beaches from there. We were even able to walk around the farm a bit and talk to the workers about it and their process. Plus, there's a coffee farm to tour by walking 5 min down the road! When we come back to Hawaii, we will definitely stay here again.
