Everything about our stay at the Orchid Inn was stelar. The property is gorgeous, inside and out. We spent most of our time enjoying the lanai, watching the animals and taking in the incredible view. The house is gorgeous inside, plenty of room for the five of us. We had all the amenities we needed - a fully stocked kitchen (even Tupperware and to go mugs!), beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, cooler), and plenty of outside seating. There were even a couple small tables with chairs nestled into lovely corners of the yard. The property is 15 minutes up the hill from downtown Kona and grocery stores, and a short walk down the driveway will get you to the little art district of Holualoa where you’ll find coffee shops and little boutiques, even a small general store. We would recommend this property to anyone, and hope we can make it back for another trip. It was my parents’ first time in Hawaii, and they both want to stay at this property again. It’s a mountain oasis, and made our trip.
