Relaxing, calm atmosphere with a beautiful view. Very helpful owner.

The area was clean and spacious. The host was kind and gave great recommendations for things to do.

The stove only had one burner working so if you wanted to save money by cooking you would have to get very creative. The decor was very dated and a refresh would be most welcome.

I was pleased with the amount of food provided, especially the fresh fruit. The unit was spacious and comfortable. Vivianne was an excellent host and gave us many pointers.

Not necessarily dislikes, but information for other travelers Since you are surrounded by nature, expect nature to visit occasionally: bug spray under the sink: use it: I found ants, centipedes (don't walk barefoot), and cockroaches. Overcommunicate with Viviane: tell her what your family eats for breakfast: I arrived to several liters of plant-based "milk", dairy milk (one half-gallon was past its sell-by date), Special K, & Cheerios, along w/ some packaged honey-wheat bread. Based on my perception, I guess you get what the prior client left: half a jar of strawberry jam was in fridge; whoever came after me got some Costco spinach/artichoke spread and butter. (Do not visit Costco on Monday) If you have mobility issues, exercise caution. If A/C is important for you, this doesn't have it. Internet is available & free, but *slow*. My Zoom® meetings ran clumsily: others couldn't hear me all the time.

You arise to birds frolicking at feeders outside your patio door. You step onto the lanai & look forever down the mountain & out to sea. You enter your kitchenette & make coffee w/ the Keurig® cups left out (or tea) and put some bread in the toaster. Perhaps grab a banana from the garden in the basket on the kitchen table. Check in w/ your hostess, former Clinique model from Strasbourg, Alsace, Viviane for ideas to more than fill your time. (And as an Alsacienne, she is fluent in German & French) After a day down at the coast, or perhaps some kayaking, enjoy the lavish sunsets from your lanai, and then maybe catch a show on the large-screen TV. Full laundry facilities are a couple steps away (finish by 8 PM). Turn on the overhead fans, open your patio doors, and let the mountain air blow through your apartment as the king bed enfolds you in sleep.

Breakfast could have had more variety. There was no protein offered - some cold meats and cheese would have been appreciated.

The Rose room was very large. There was a gorgeous view and the location was great.

Stayed in November 2024

There was fresh fruit, bread, jam, cereal, milk, coffee and tea provided in the fridge. There was also a microwave, stovetop and toaster. So if you wanted something more than you could have picked something at the store across the way. We liked that we could eat when we wanted then head off on our adventures Vivianne greatest us and told us some great things we could do. The property had phenomenal views and was very peaceful. The nights were loud with critters, which didn't bother us but could be negative to someone sound sensitive.

The view is to die for, as the name implies.

Spectacular vista and lovely flower garden with songbirds. We did not want to leave our terrace.

No complaints.

The hostess was very kind; when we showed up, she gave us a complimentary upgrade to the honeymoon suite, which was a separate cottage. The Belle Vue is on 4 acres of farm land, and I think it has the best view on the island. We couldn’t get over how beautiful it was! Additionally, there were lots of friendly geckos on the balcony, and beautiful birds as the bird feeders are kept well stocked. It was extremely quiet, the cottage itself was pretty, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable.

The floors could have been much cleaner, and the bed more firm and more comfortable.

Great little apartment with a wonderful view of the Kona Coast. We loved sitting out there and looking at the view with all the unique birds and beautiful flowers and everything. I liked that I could use the washer and drier, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The t.v. and sofa room were really nice. It was very private and a good location.

One evening we had friendly, but loud neighbors. But, that can happen anywhere.

The most important thing for us is always the view and this property delivered. The wide ocean and mountain scenery are beautifully framed by the colorful and well-manicured gardens. Private patio seating is a lovely place to take in the panorama and sunsets/sunrises. We enjoyed spacious quarters, a comfy bed, lots of hot water, birdsong and the company of our gracious host Viviane who generously offered us some of the bounty of her gardens. The property is secluded and quiet with no road noise, but is conveniently just minutes down the hill from the Choicemart grocery in Captain Cook. Local dining gems are Shaka Tacos, Rebel Kitchen, Teshima's, and Gypsea Gelato and coffee.

Our stay was perfect. The only thing that could have been better is if we were able to stay longer.

The best part of this stay was the view it offered when we woke up. We came in while it was dark and had seen pictures of what to expect. To see the view live was amazing. We loved sitting outside in the morning and enjoying our coffee and the vista. There were many breakfast cereal choices available.

The place was lovely and comfortable! The view was stunning. The lodgings were clean and comfortable. It was nice having a kitchen. The breakfast was do it yourself. Fruit, cereal, bread, eggs, and milk were provide, which was perfect for us.

We were upgraded to the couples suite and loved the privacy! The views were amazing and it was the most relaxing part of our vacation. Viviane was so nice and gave great recommendations for where to go and what to eat. In hindsight we wished we would have stayed a day or 2 longer!

Incredible view. Very knowledgeable, accommodating and kind host.

Full size refrigerator was stocked with milk, bread, butter, jam and other goodies. Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils for making meals. Grocery store was just up the hill. Our unit had a separate room for luggage. View from porch was breathtaking.

It took one night to get used to the sounds of the nocturnal creatures.

Extremely scenic, quiet and felt remote although it was very close to the center of town and restaurants. No surprises. Guest responsibilities were posted and trip hazards were identified by the host during the individual welcoming orientation.

I would have loved to have beach amenities such as, beach towels, snorkeling 🤿, beach toys.
