One of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed in! 10/10! The cottages are amazing, fresh eggs in the morning, fresh fruit on the trees, frogs chirping, a view of the ocean. Stunning. And Randy is the ultimate host, there to answer questions, share stories, and make you feel like you never want to leave! There were even fresh cookies one night in the kitchen for the guests. It’s like the best of staying at an air bnb, in a cottage, with people from all over, and a view that is breathtaking. We are DEFINITELY coming back!

Luxury and beauty meets function.

I stayed in one of the cottages which are new, beautifully decorated, super functional and so ver comfortable. The king size Sleep Number bed was over the top luxurious! Met owner Randy who took us on a tour of the gorgeous property and enjoyed tasting the fruits from the plantation. Loved that they have several rescued cats on property. The cats are very polite. The mini kitchen in the cottage was perfect for breakfast or lunch.

This B&B felt like a boutique hotel with 23 acre of lawn, longan trees, palms and over 40 cats (and we loved them). You’re not living in the same house with your host, and each room is spacious and separate from each other. The kitchen is clean and spacious too. I think there are seven rooms/cottages, but we rarely came across other guests in the kitchen dining area or patio when cooking breakfast or dinner or eating meals. We love this place and will go back!

The only negative I can think of is you have to wait a few minutes for hot water in the shower but that is pretty normal. Everything is so nice - we had a sleep comfort bed adjustable both sides and there is a wonderful common area for kitchen and washer/dryer. We used the beach chairs and cooler with ice packs for our trip to the beach. Randy is an amazing excellent host. Cats were fun to be around and they hang around looking for any affection you can offer. Would stay again for sure

Nicely appointed unit in a quiet ocean and Mountain View country setting. Reasonable price considering the quality of the unit. 14 miles to Kona for good restaurants, a free zoo and botanical gardens as well as waterfalls and other nature attractions. Nice 50 mile day trip to the Volcano national park. Highly recommend this country inn!
