Our stay at John and Chris’s was perfect. The location is convenient to Kona, but also just far enough away that you can avoid the crowds and traffic. The apartment itself was super comfortable and impeccably clean. The yard, patio, and jacuzzi area were beautiful and enjoyable. We had friends over for dinner one evening and grilled fish on the patio. The apartment is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, food basics, and whatnot. John and Chris even got us started with some fresh fruit and local Kona coffee. One note is that the kitchen appliances are a tad small, with a bar sink and small counter top range, and mini fridge. It didn’t hinder our cooking at all. We made breakfast for two most mornings. But if you are planning on cooking a feast for a large group, you might want to consider the kitchen size. As hosts, John and Chris really went above and beyond. They gave us useful travel tips, including a nearby farmer’s market that we wouldn’t have found ourselves. They even loaned us some snorkel fins, booties, a cooler and beach chairs/umbrellas. They were very communicative and made check in and out a breeze. I only wish we could have stayed longer.
