We'd been staying in Hilo when we first arrived on the big island with so much rain we barely saw sunshine at all. So it was important for us to have our one night in Kailua Kona be restful and special. It was. Cate, our host, was especially courteous and helpful. She even allowed us to use her snorkel sets and beach gear the next day which was fantastically sunny (after we'd checked out). We'll recommend her place to our friends.
