Serene stay on a lovely coffee farm!
After spending two nights inside Volcanoes national park and two nights in the touristy part of Kailua Kona, staying in this quiet and tranquil property for our last two nights was the perfect way to end our vacation! It is away from the main tourist hub and yet close enough to get to restaurants in Kailua Kona within 15 min. We enjoyed the resident cat Meow Meow, the sheep on the farm, the lush coffee trees and the mesmerizing morning clouds that enveloped the tree tops. The clouds clear by the afternoon and you can see the ocean in the distance! We found the space comfortable and spacious, and our host both friendly and attentive to our needs.

Great Stay!
The house was clean and cozy feeling, on a beautiful property in a great location. They provided everything our family of 4 needed for our stay, and Kendall even came down to introduce himself and give us some great tips for exploring the area. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend Kendall and his home.

Great location
The location was great, in the highlands above Kona with a partial ocean view. This is a downstairs unit with the property owners living upstairs. We are early risers and didn't mind the mild noise that comes from getting kids off to school. The cat was a riot trying to make us cave in and give her treats. If you stay here bring quarters - Meow Meow will be very happy!

Amazing place to stay! 10/10
We had the absolute best time staying at this property on the Big Island! The hosts were so friendly, responsive, and accommodating during our stay, and roast some darn good Kona coffee. They were kind enough to give us some samples at the start of our stay! The house had plenty of amenities for our week stay, some basic condiments, plenty of cookware, snorkel/beach gear, and even some toiletries. It was very clean and well taken care-of, and they included extra towels already in our room which was great, as we stayed for 6 nights. The roaming cat Meow-Meow was a highlight, as she greeted us in the mornings and evenings when we returned and kindly begged us for some treats, which we were happy to oblige! The location was perfect for us - we had a rental car, and were able to reach all parts of the island with this as our home base. Very close to downtown Kona, and in a beautiful, scenic location up on the mountain side where you can see the ocean from the lanai :) My friends and I said we would stay here again in a heartbeat should we ever get to come back to this beautiful island! 10/10 highly recommend this spot!

Great property in a coffee farm
The property was very clean and comfortable. It was surrounded by coffee plants up on a hill in a very nice and quiet area. We enjoyed the photos on the wall and the trivial questions. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the property. I would definitely recommend it to travelers.

Awesome stay
We really enjoyed our stay here high above the Kailua-Kona coast! The place was very comfortable, as described, and the hosts had clearly thought of everything a guest might need. We especially appreciated seeing coffee bushes just steps away from the front porch, and great sunset views over the sea. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Chill time in coffee country
Kendall was a very welcoming host and made sure we had a good time on our vacation. The property was off the beaten path - not a ton to do nearby, but no complaints because we enjoyed the quiet and nature sounds. The rental was set up nicely and well-stocked, plus we got to learn more about growing coffee. I did have a hard time sleeping on the bed because it was on the softer side (just fair warning for folks like me who need a firm mattress). Otherwise, kitchen was great to have and Meow-Meow (the family cat) frequently petitioned us for treats and attention. We purchased some Kona Wild coffee to take home and would definitely like to come back in the future.

The location is of the beaten path which we enjoyed! Very peaceful at night. Host was great - quick responses to any inquiry I made! Everything was clean and kitchen had everything you could need - including two sample packs of coffee from the owners coffee farm. Laundry service by the host is a bonus. Will stay here next time we are in Kona!

We stayed three nights down in Volcanoes but wanted a closer spot to the Kona airport for our last night on Big Island. This worked well for getting in final beach time and it was so close to the airport! Views were beautiful. Wish we had more time to enjoy the coffee farm!

This rental is located a close drive to kona and the beaches but high up the mountain in the cool refreshing air and large homesteads. The beds were super comfortable and there is a spacious living room and outside lanai area. The hosts were easy and prompt to communicate with kind and our children enjoyed playing together in the morning. The views of the ocean down the hill were stunning. We would definitely stay here again when the opportunity arises!

Coffee farm life close to Kona!
Had a wonderful stay at Kendall’s basement house at Kona Wild. The house was cool, we had plenty of fresh towels and we had good coffee! Would absolutely book again. Loved being in the midst of nature not too far from Kona. Loved how much space there was for dive gear and that Kendall had snorkeling equipment and beach chairs. Very nice touch.

Better Than Advertized
Everything about the place is just even better in person. Peaceful, tranquil, and beautiful. It is a perfect little base camp for exploring as well as a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the view. Gracious hosts and wonderful atmosphere. We were able to grab foods to prepare at Costco and then head up the “hill”, about a 20 minute drive. The coffee and photography is an added bonus. When we next go back to Kona-this is where we will stay!

Beautiful coffee farm stay
Unfortunately we didn't get to spend so much time here on the 1 day we stayed here. We got to the property a little late after adventuring on the other side of the Island before we arrived. But I really wish we could have had a full day to relax in it. The property grounds are beautiful, with coffee trees all in your view from the lanai. The sunset was beautiful to watch here and even the drive up to the property is gorgeous. There's a full kitchen for cooking if you like, beds were comfortable, there is pictures on the living room wall that were for sale that unfortunately I didn't have room for in our luggage to purchase. We also enjoyed the visit and gift from sweet meow, meow. We love animals and we always enjoy the visits from these little fur babies. So that's always a plus with our stays Kendall was a very nice and responsive host. Thank you for our stay, can't wait to make another trip and stay a little longer next time. Mahalo

Exceptional Getaway
My family and I enjoyed our exceptional getaway in the Kona Highlands. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The hosts are kind, friendly and open-hearted. We enjoyed interacting with them and with their friendly cat. The location is nice because it is out of the tourist area of Kailua in lovely Kona coffee country. Yet, it is close enough to Kailua and smaller towns for shopping and restaurants. Just be warned it is very humid there so you need to keep the dehumidifier on. When we left our daughter asked if we could go back. How about next week!

From start to finish this was a perfect stay for my little crew. Check in was super easy, the location is a sweet little spot tucked away from it all in the hills yet not too far from town. The kids adored the cat- shout out to Meow Meow for fully entertaining them in the evening. Kendall is an amazing host. I know most places say they have everything you need to make yourself feel at home, but this one actually does. We hope to come back to stay again on our next trip.

Beautiful drive up a wind-y road into coffee country
We arrived near sunset, and were immediately impressed by the chirping and singing of birds. Except that they weren’t birds...we found out the amazing singing was from frogs. What a treat! Our lovely host met us; both she and her husband were wonderfully welcoming. We felt immediately relaxed and at home. The space was exactly as shown in pictures. We met the VERY friendly Meow-Meow, who sat outside the floor-to-ceiling window giving us cute kitty eyes intended to entice us to let her in. With great difficulty, we resisted. It was nice and cool on the coffee farm, which was an interesting contrast to the humid heat as we drove toward the coast. Kendall gave us a brief introduction to the coffee business. We appreciated the knowledge he shared and ‘local’ tips on where to go on the island. We only stayed one night, but would have liked to have been there longer so we would have had more time to explore the area. I highly recommend this property and its really lovely hosts!
