  Description

  We are Ken and Courtney. We have a lovely home and garden overlooking Kealakekua Bay, in South Kona, on the west side of the Big Island. The view is epic! There is a lot to do here. The gardening and landscaping alone is an endless project. Things grow so fast here! Ken was a professional organic farmer for over ten years, so you will learn a lot about growing plants while staying here. Our home sits above a Heiau, a historic Hawaiian site. Seeing this landmark daily is a special part of living here. Our property consists of winding gardens that are filled with both edibles and ornamentals. There are also plants important to Hawaiian culture, like bread fruit, cacao, ginger, and turmeric. Ken is a licensed massage therapist with a studio on property, so we seek to maintain an atmosphere of serenity. Courtney is a school teacher as well as a ceramic artist. Another project were are in the middle of, is turning the garage into a functioning art studio equipped with a kiln and potters wheel.
