Phyl and John were wonderful hosts — they gave great recommendations and made sure we had everything we could need for our stay. The location couldn’t have been better. We debated staying in Kona so that we could be close to the scuba diving we had booked, but boy we are glad we chose John and Phyl’s place! Captain Cook is much more picturesque and their home is nestled between some of the best off the beaten path beaches. And the drive into Kona was no problem at all. We enjoyed stunning sunsets from the patio and the beach at the very end of their road every night. If in doubt, book this place!
