I made a true friend with the host. She is an extremely kind and wise woman. She took time to show me sites in Kona and fantastic snorkeling spots I didn’t know. As for the place, it was very clean, simple, peaceful, and a great location. Yes, there were the sounds of nature (geckos at night and roosters and Wild song birds in the morning). But this is the wild big island and what you came here for, right? Anyways, as long as you remember you are a guest in someone’s house and not at the Sheraton (which is $1000 a night) you will have a great time. Thanks again, Sue!
