A Beautiful Edge of the World — Hotel in Hawaii

We stayed 8 nights with Kurt, Kona & Jenna in the “Nut Room”. Pros: Lovely host family: Kurt will ask your preferences and guide you to adventures to match; Kona makes a different, delicious breakfast every day (pancakes, French toast, or eggs with toast and homemade jam, always with 3 kinds of fresh fruit off their property and homemade coffee). Home is scrupulously clean and well-outfitted (shared tv room, kitchen; each guest room has own bathroom and fridge, 2 of 3 rooms have private lanais). Excellent value. Perfect central location: Captain Cook, Two-Step & other beaches are 10 minutes away; Kailua-Kona is 30 min; Hilo 60 & Volcanoes 90. Property itself is a working coffee & macadamia nut farm with oranges, bananas, starfruit, papaya & more. Wrap-around shared lanai has killer views, breezes and lounge chairs. Hosts can lend you beach towels, picnic coolers & snorkel gear. Good WiFi throughout the home, including lanai & rooms. Cons: this is not a generic hotel, so don’t expect resort landscaping, a swimming pool or walking distance to beach. Nighttime can be noisy: you’ll hear chickens, coquí frogs and even rooting pigs (which we found charming; if you want silence, bring earplugs). The long shared driveway to the B&B is “jungly” on both sides, although paved and well-signed (Kurt will email you directions; use them - Google Maps worked for us, too). This is a family home (the host family lives downstairs) so it’s not as private as an anonymous hotel. Conclusion: as with all travel (literally and metaphorically), knowing who you are and what you want will hugely increase your satisfaction. The Edge B&B is accurately and fully advertised on TripAdvisor (including in photos). We knew we wanted a comfy, friendly home that was both rural and centrally located - and we are so, so happy with what we experienced. Thank you, K&K! Staying in your home was a huge part of our...

We felt so lucky to have found this place — it’s a total hidden gem. The moment we arrived, we were surrounded by calm and nature. It’s peaceful, quiet, and just has this really relaxing vibe.

The upstairs room had what might be the best sunset view we’ve ever seen. You get this wide, open view of the farm where they grow coffee, papayas, and macadamia nuts, and in the distance, you can see the ocean. The colors at sunset were unreal — bright, open, and just beautiful.

During our stay, Camille and Jeff were helping out Kurt and Kana, and they were such lovely hosts. Breakfast was amazing every morning — delicious, fresh, and made with so much care. They also shared great local tips on where to eat and what to check out nearby.

The room itself was super clean, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated — it felt cozy but not old. The bathroom was surprisingly modern, which was a nice touch.

We were surrounded by nature — birds chirping, even a wild pig sighting! — but not a single mosquito in sight, which was a pleasant surprise.

Honestly, this was the best B&B experience we’ve ever had. We’d absolutely come back the next time we’re in Hawaii....
