Kurt and his wife were excellent hosts; they were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the island and things to do. We loved the daily farm-to-table style breakfast, the variety of fresh fruit was incredible! The room was well furnished and the view from the patio was simply breathtaking. We can definitely picture staying here again in the future!

Great ocean view from the large, comfortable porch(lanai). Wonderful breakfast! We had the smaller room but it was sufficient and the living room and lanai were very comfortable to hang out. Bathroom was not in room but just a few steps down the hall and large and private. Jungle road to get there is awesome. A little hard to find at night. Jungle noises, mostly frogs, in evenings was nice. Roosters at 3:30 am not so nice but we got used to it. I had thought from the write up on it that we had use of the kitchen but it didn’t really feel that way but we did have our own small fridge to use. There were coolers and swim and snorkel stuff and beach chairs to use which was great. Easy access to good snorkeling and points south but a lot of traffic to go toward Kona. Overall it was a great place and we would stay there again. Nice hosts.

Hidden away on the hill side with coffee farm around and beautiful views over the ocean. The best coffee ever and delicious breakfast served by fantastic host.

Great b&b, amazing breakfast and friendly hosts

This b&b is one the best accomodations we have ever seen. The breakfast is really amazing (fresh fruit, handmade bread, eggs, homemade coffee, etc.); the hosts (Kurt and Kana) are very friendly and they gave us a lot of suggestions. The location is really beautiful ad the name is suggesting! If we ever come back to Big Island, we will for sure try to stay here again.

Edge of the world is a great place to stay as a base to visit big island for a good budget. Room was big and clean and view from the balcony was awesome! Road to get there is a bit bumpy, but we could do it in a Camaro so any car can make it!
