We enjoyed staying in Beth's house. It is so well appointed, spacious, lovely, and very comfortable. We felt at home. Beth makes available lots of great equipment such as beech chairs, boogie boards, snorkelling gear, etc, which was most generous and allowed us to have maximum fun as we explored the beeches north of Kona. Most of the good beeches are a 30-60 minute car drive away, however, although there is access to the water within the walking distance, those beeches are not suitable for children, as they are rocky and rough. However, the house is 5-10 minutes drive to shops and restaurants of Kona, and if you want a real Hawaiian treat - the Poke Shack is within walking distance down the street, and well worth a visit. Beth was great, friendly, helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with. Overall, we recommend this place with two thugs up!
